Doggie Heroes/Happily Ever After

RUBY’S TALE: a true rags to riches story!


Every shelter dog has a story to tell, and deserves to have it told, but not every adoptee K9 has a willing and able biographer. Ruby, a brindle beauty, got lucky. First, she was rescued from an abandoned house by St. Francis of Assisi Animal Rescue in Forest Lake, Minnesota.

 

 

Sugar and Cinnamon: Off the Chain and Free at Last!!

After spending a sleepless night in Pennsylvania's 2010 cold snap, I pushed my boyfriend out of bed with a simple, "I have to do something." I knew dogs were dying on chains in the 11-degree wind chill, and I couldn't be warm and cozy while they suffered; I had to help.

They were dependent on heat lamps for warmth in the Midwest's extremely cold winters.
