I know a family, (my parents) who keep two dogs outside in a kennel at all times. They have a laborador pitbull mix hes quite big and a smaller poodle/mix mut. The littler dog comes in sometimes but the big dog has lived in a dog run no more than 200 sq ft his entire life since he has come to...

We just adopted a dog, Inky, who has already become a fast and happy member of our family. She's a Jack Russell/Heeler cross (as near as we can tell), and she's very affectionate and sweet. Unfortunately, her previous owners tied her up in the back yard and never interacted with her except to...

Hello, My sister in-law just got a new golden retriever. The dog is about 4 years old and has been abused in a horrible way. The old owner (which we know and she's a real piece of work) decided that she no longer cared about the dog anymore. She would just leave the house and not come home...
