  • Please head over to our new blog for our latest posts … including our most recent one reporting on blind Stella's trip to see our veterinary specialists.

  • This sweet older gal arrived on Friday from Shreveport, Louisiana. A lady named Sherri M. had first contacted us almost a month ago when she’d seen this blind dog show up in the local shelter. Because of her disability and age, she was considered unadoptable, and Sherri and a group of other kind-hearted folks who work to…

  • Yes, that adorable little one-eyed tyke was happily adopted on Saturday by Carolyn S. from Pennsylvania and her dog Maddy. Carolyn, a long-time supporter, had seen him in our e-newsletter in late March and asked if she could adopt him.  We agreed to hold onto him (we had lots of interest in him when that…

  • I took these photos of Cap and Bugsy playing on Monday afternoon. They’ve become quite the pair of anything-goes competitors (the only thing we haven’t seen yet is kick-boxing). We’ve had other opportunities in recent weeks to take some photos of them in action, but every time they hear the door open as we step…

For one thing, we wanted the surgeon there, Dr. Kurt Schulz, to look at Sunny's deformed front leg and help us decide what, if anything, to do about it. That's Kurt in the photo above with Sunny.  …

  • I didn't take any photos yesterday when I was at Peak in Burlington, so I thought I'd just go ahead and post this cute shot I took the other morning of Wilbur and Aurora in the living room. In a round-up of medical news from yesterday's trip, let's start with the good news: — Darla's…

  • She may be blind in one eye now, and she may have had surgery on a knee to remove a tumor just two weeks ago, but Miss Darla is determined to show those two whippersnappers — Travis and Tanner — that she is still the Queen and this is her Palace. Entrance by invitation only.…

  • The photographer Melissa McDaniel emailed me this week to say she only has a couple hundred copies of her Puppy Mill Survivors book left, and she wanted to do another special discount sale for Rolling Dog Farm supporters.   You may remember when I first posted this back in December that this stunning photo book includes…
