16 January 2013 ♥! This is the heart of Dog … whether we’re gone all day for work or only momentarily to check the mail. They simply can’t wait to see us again. And their loving enthusiasm for us makes our world more beautiful! Do you agree?
16 January 2013 Several months ago, a family lost their beloved dog to cancer. The kids, there are five, really wanted another, but the parents were hesitant. On a whim, Dad agreed the kids could post a photo on Facebook and that if they got one million likes, they could have another dog. And so

December 13, 2012 Oh, you knew it was only a matter of time before someone created a video with dogs dancing Gangnam style. And now it’s here. This video is greatness.

July 11, 2012 Animal lovers and advocates around the world mourn today the passing of Lennox. I can’t imagine the pain the family is experiencing. Two years ago, a family dog was seized by the Belfast, Ireland city officials because they had deemed him a “dangerous dog breed.” The council called him a pit bull

25 June 2012 Some days, animal rescue gets to us more than others. So many urgent pets in need. So little time and resources. We know some will be saved and many will not. It breaks our heart, fills us with discouragement, and if we’re not careful, it can break us. Friday was one of those

June 14, 2012 Please also ask your family, friends, and co-workers to take a minute and give us their feedback.

June 11, 2012 What is the Just One Day Pledge? “What is a day? There are many ways to answer that question. A day is 24 hours. A day is how we measure how much time we spend at work. A day can be something we look forward to, a celebration of some kind. But

1 June 2012 I met Stephen Plyler at the DFW No Kill Workshop in March. A volunteer, he had been hard at work to transform his city’s animal shelter to no kill. At the workshop, Stephen took a lot of notes and asked questions during our Q&A session; he has continued his hard work and the

May 14, 2012 Great news for the Collin County shelter animals! Frisco City Councilman, Bob Allen, is taking the lead for positive shelter change.

May 8, 2012 Since I first began Pawsitively Texas, my dream is to see all shelter pets have a voice. To have someone work on their behalf to tell their story – to give them the absolute best chance at life. I’m so encouraged to see the many shelter Facebook pages that have been launched

May 4, 2012 No Kill: It’s not easy, but the rewards are incomparable! Building a no kill community … is not easy. Maintaining a no kill community … is not easy. But, no kill communities do not do it because it is easy. They do it because it is the right thing to do. As

May 4, 2012 I need a Dallas area 501(c)(3) rescue to help keep a family together. They love their dogs, but were ready to surrender them because financially, they have been having a hard time caring for them. We can’t judge, love knows no financial boundaries, and the economy has been rough on so very

May 3, 2012 Increase the live save rate of animals in your Community – no experience needed Texas has several no kill communities; interesting to note about four is that the leadership that transformed these communities to no kill do not have a career shelter professional resume. In fact, they have no expertise in managing

April 27, 2012 My thanks to Dallas blogger Larry Powell for covering the DAS shelter commission meetings; most people can not attend a meeting at 1:00pm on a weekday due to their work schedules so his reports keep us informed.
