Meet Ruby
Saturday, 31 January 2009 9:06 A GMT-05
Here is our new girl, Ruby, a black and tan Coonhound. She is about 2 years old. We adopted her through Safe Haven Humane Society. They serve an area that includes Montcalm County - where relinquished pets are frequently taken

Dog of the Week: St. Milo
Wednesday, 9 April 2008 9:21 P GMT-05
Hmmmm...I wonder if there was an actual St. Milo[quick google]It appears there is a Blessed Milo of Selincourt. But we will not be talking about him. We will be talking about the Best Puppy in the World, our new puppy Milo. What a g
Dog of the Week: Hank
Tuesday, 1 April 2008 10:00 A GMT-05
Look at this guy. Both pictures, he's saying: Bring it. Not even the pink lead can diminish his machismo. I love the look of Hank, and I love his name. He's a tough little dog, but agile and athletic, and really not too
Dog of the Week: Jazzy
Friday, 7 March 2008 10:00 A GMT-05
Look at this sweet girl: Jazzy. If she were my dog, I'd name her Martha. Something about her solid little face reminds me of the Susan Meddaugh Martha books. Jazzy needs a loving home, and he deserves one. He's got a
Dog of the Week: Blazzer
Wednesday, 13 February 2008 9:59 P GMT-05
Look at this guy - isn't he a handsome one? He's a Lab mix. His face looks Lab, but his fur is all fluffy like a Chow; soft too. Blazzer's been at the Humane Society for awhile - he's had several fond relationships w
Dog of the Week: Lily
Wednesday, 6 February 2008 10:03 A GMT-05
When I first met Lily back in October, I was rather put off by how hyperactive she was. Taking her out of her kennel, she would immediately grab the leash and start tugging it. And she would tug it as long as you put up with it. Tu
Quick dog story
Monday, 28 January 2008 10:03 A GMT-05
I don't have a picture, yet, of Kashi, a cattle dog currently bunking at the humane society, but I thought I'd tell this story anyway because it's just so sweet. Kashi is a medium-sized white cattle dog mix with gray and white fleck
Dog of the Week: Nadia
Monday, 21 January 2008 8:21 A GMT-05
Look at this funny little girl. This is Nadia. She's some kind of terrier and has what appears to me to be a serious ratting instinct. This girl loves to tug and pull and jump and nip at things that move.
Adopted!
Saturday, 12 January 2008 11:11 P GMT-05
Today I had just about worn J. down about Kayla, the shepherd mix I blogged about awhile ago. He finally agreed to bring Rosie in so the two could meet, and, as an afterthought I checked the Humane Society website before going and she was no lo
Dog of the Week: Khaki
Thursday, 6 December 2007 10:31 P GMT-05
I've been meaning to write about Khaki for awhile now. Isn't she cute? She's built low and strong like a bulldog, but she's a tan brindle and has much more of a pit/boxer face. She's also very funny; she has a wa
Dog of the Week: Natasha
Thursday, 1 November 2007 8:54 P GMT-05
This little honey has just stolen my heart. Look at her: isn't she sweet? She reminds me of a gawky adolescent girl - not that much to look at physically, all paws and elbows. She's wide-hipped, long-nosed, and skinny-tailed
There has to be a special place in Hell for...
Thursday, 25 October 2007 2:44 P GMT-05
...people who abuse animals and children. Today I found out what the deal with Bandit, the American Staffordshire Terrier who has been at the Humane Society since last May. It turns out that his "rough start" was really and trul
Walking the dogs
Friday, 19 October 2007 12:00 A GMT-05
So today I did my second tour of duty as a dog walker. I'm in pretty good shape from all of my regular walking, but that is some workout! Big dogs, most of them young, most of them tugging and jumping and untrained - they take their t
Saturday at the Humane Society
Sunday, 7 October 2007 8:10 P GMT-05
So now it's official: after 3 training sessions, I'm now a volunteer dog walker. Today I finally got to get in a cage and pet a puppy. And guess who it was. You'll never guess. Not in a million years. Okay, g
Wag-n-Walkathon 2007
Sunday, 16 September 2007 8:11 P GMT-05
Yesterday A.M. and I went to the second training session at the Humane Society to become volunteer dog walkers. J. is unenthused about getting another dog right now, and I have a need for a little more doggie love in my life and a lot more pet
Thursday at the Humane Society
Saturday, 10 March 2007 8:12 P GMT-05
So yesterday I did what was probably a stupid thing. In a fit of boredom, after calling everyone I knew and finding no one at home, Max and I went to the Humane Society. I figured that the
Today is Rosie Day!
Saturday, 16 July 2005 8:14 P GMT-05
Three years ago I brought Rosie home from the Humane Society, tired, scared, and sore from being spayed. Little did we know what we were in for - or what a difference she'd make in our lives.Here's to her brown, furry little face! Three chee
Some sadness
Friday, 13 February 2004 8:15 P GMT-05
After a workshop this morning/afternoon on Summer Reading, I stopped by the Humane Society. I don't know why I went since this would be a terrible time to get a new dog, with the adoption coming up and our homestudy already completed. I think I j
A new addition to our small family
Monday, 15 July 2002 8:16 P GMT-05
Well, it's all set. We went to the Humane Society this morning to see Rose again, and I think she remembered us. She was a lot more responsive this time which made J. feel better. My dad went along to give her a look see, and he thought she was a
J. and I did a bad, bad thing...
Saturday, 13 July 2002 8:18 P GMT-05
...and went the Humane Society today. I just wanted to "check out" the dogs. We filled out an application, had an interview and talked about our needs (we won't be able to get a puppy because of our work schedule). Then I made the mist
