September 2010 Your Story featuring Zhok, the French Bulldog
Ever since my wife and I got married 4 years ago, she has been asking me if we could get a dog, and I always felt like we didn’t have the space or time to devote to one. After lots of pleading, a little over a year ago, I decided I would surprise her for our anniversary. I spent a lot of time researching, made several trips to different breeders and finally found the puppy for us. He was a little French Bulldog from northwestern Ohio. After two trips up and over 14 hours of driving I was finally taking
August 2010 Your Story featuring Surry, the Great Dane
We were looking for a playmate for our 1yr old Dane as we felt she was lonely. We weren’t in a rush and I am a firm believer that when the time is right it will happen. Someone recommended looking on craigslist for another Dane and sure enough one stood out to me. She was 1 1/2 and her family couldn’t afford to keep her.

Written by Pam, Noblesville, IN I was meeting with a Humane Society worker when I decided to take a quick look through the dog kennel.

My husband was going through a severe depression due to recent crippling health problems and subsequent depression. Wy and he immediatly bonded and became best of friends.

April 2010 Your Story featuring Pita and Hummus
Written by Mary Pita and Hummus are my 2 guinea pigs. Pita came from Craigslist and she was rather lonely. We read that guinea pigs like to be together and asked our local rescue if they had a guinea pig we could try out with Pita. Needless to say, it was love at first sight. I put Hummus in with Pita and they were sleeping in their home together that night. They eat, sleep, play, munch hay, talk to each other, and both now stand up on their hind legs on the side of their cage for food at feeding
