Finally we are ready to introduce our new logo. Champ volunteered to be our model. It took many long hours and treats but it was worth it. The three colors in the logo, yellow, chocolate and black, were an obvious choice given our love for labs. We think this new logo represents well who we are: committed and fun at the same time! Keep your eyes open for great merchandise with our new logo soon for sale. |

Augustus’s story is the story of a survivor and a fighter. Soon after we rescued him from animal control we discovered that he probably suffered a big trauma because his internal organs were all pushed up into his chest. He had to undergo an unfashionable haircut, a long and costly operation, and a few months of recovery. We were not sure he was going to make it but look at him now! Augustus fought his way back and now he is doing very well. Due to his past and all he had to endure, Augustus is still a little insecure of himself and is looking for a wonderful family willing to understand him. We had one of our trainers work with him and he is doing much better already after only two sessions. He really just needs someone to lead his way. Augustus does not like the competition of other big male dogs so he will probably be better in a family where he is the only male dog in the house. Augustus has been at the vet for too long and he needs to get out and discover a world in which his stomach does not hurt anymore and he does not have to defend himself. Help us find him a good permanent or foster home! |

Choosing the right dog food is extremely important. Learn to read the labels and choose a dog food that does not contain animal byproducts. Do your research. Most dog food that you buy over the counter at grocery stores contain animal by products that can easily cause allergies. A few more dollars per bag to buy good dog food will save you a lot of money in allergies medicines and will make your dog’s coat shine. |
