Just a reminder . . .

There is plenty of time to still find a friend to ring in the New Year with. So many potential best friends are waiting at a shelter near you.

While it's not a good idea to get a pet as a Christmas present, if you have been thinking of becoming a pet owner and you have some time off around the holiday, it is a good time to spend helping a pet adjust to new surroundings and establishing a routine. 

Plain Brown Dog has a special wish this holiday season for all the senior dogs and cats out there. Puppies and kittens are cute, but senior animals make great pets. Won't you spread a little joy this holiday season to a senior dog or cat. You'll be glad you did!

Famous Dogs

So last night I was watching Wizard of Oz with my husband. And about a half hour into it, he asks me, "What kind of dog was Toto?"

A cairn terrier I reply without missing a beat.

"What?" he asks.

Toto was a cairn terrier.

"Are you sure?"

Yes.

"How did you know that? I mean, how could you possibly know what kind of dog Toto was?"

Because I researched famous dogs for a post on the PlainBrownDog Blog and read all about the dog that played Toto. 

"Crazy dog lady . . ."

Separation Anxiety

I've gotten a few requests to let everyone know about a very special girl who's looking for a forever home. Meet Weezer. 

She is available for adoption at the Halifax Humane Society. Weezer came to HHS along with her sister Squirt. The two had never been apart and were best friends. Despite HHS' best efforts to adopt the two together, Squirt found a home and now Weezer is on her own. She has had some anxiety over being alone, but that is a situation that would be really easy to remedy by finding her a loving home. 

She's a friendly, lovely dog who just needs a new friend. Please help spread the word, and let's try to find this lonely girl a home!
