No, they are not show dogs, nor some kind of heroes. They are part of our family and we love them.

Meet Tater (our little princess)

Pets give us unconditional love, is it asking too much to give some back?

Meet Sam (our michievous little imp)

Meet Misty (our sweet doll baby)

Did you know that gently stroking an animal has a true calming effect on humans and can actually lower ones blood pressure.

Pets are living, breathing, feeling creatures. Not disposable toys to be tossed aside when they become inconvenient. Please, before adopting a pet, ask yourself the following questions:

1. Am I ready to make a commitment to this animal for the rest of it's natural life (which, depending on the pet, could be as much as 20 years )

2. Does this pet fit my life style, both present and expected future?

3. Do I realize this pet costs more than just the purchase price? There is the cost of food, veterinary care, etc.

4. Does this pet suit my personality? Yes, I said personality. Different types of animals, different breeds, all have different basic personalities. Do some research. Find one that suits yours.

About 40 percent of all puppies purchased are returned to the breeders, abandoned, given up to shelters, or worse. Why? Because these questions were not asked before the purchase was made.
