Shelter Drive By: Snorgles and Food

November 11, 2012 by Dr. V

So before I left for Nicaragua, I wanted to make sure I got my shelter drive-by done and set in honor of our Shelter Appreciation Week Blog Hop.

Home For the Holidays: let’s make some magic!

November 1, 2010 by Dr. V

Pets from pet stores, whose owners overpaid for them and can then not afford to treat them for the parasites, distemper, or congenital disease they all too often wind up with. It happens every year.
