It's a Dog's Life

We are a family of dog lovers that began by adopting or rescuing dogs on our own. As the number of dogs in our household began to swell, we came to realize that we couldn't save every dog and keep them all, but we could continue to save more dogs, and help them to find their forever homes. We began to think of our family and our home with a certain motto: we take the old, the ugly, the broken down, the unwanted and abused, because it truly is what we do. What started as a lesson to our children that we could make a difference a little at a time, has evolved into a passion and a mission for us all. Our name has 2 meanings, the first is that for a number of these dogs, especially those in high kill shelters, it truly IS the dog's life that hangs in the balance waiting for someone to step forward on their behalf and give them another chance, which brings out the second meaning. It is the old saying that "it's a dog's life", meaning the easy life, the caring, the adoration and appreciation we shower upon our own cherished pets, which is exactly the ending we do our best to find for every dog we encounter.
