Love and Pitties in the City

A lovely story for Valentine's Day.

How has your dog brought love into your life?

I have more than a few close friends who I would never have met if I wasn't out walking Steve in the neighborhood. He has brought more love and joy than I could have predicted.

A message from my neighbor...

Dear family, friends, and neighbors,


We are moving to Europe and have come to the sad conclusion that we will not be able to take our dog with us. With a heavy heart, we are looking for a home that would welcome a 10-year old lady (in perfect health) on either a short-term or long-term basis. She is half Chow-chow and half Pyrenean shepherd - please see the attached photo, if you have not already met her in the past. She is well behaved in the house, and will be an infallible guardian. On the downside, she does have a tendency to bark when people come to the door, but is a lovely companion otherwise.


We are either looking for a short-term or long-term home, as there is potential that we could ship her over in a few months. It really depends on who we find that is willing to take her and what their interest and commitment would be.


On a related note, we do need a dog sitter this weekend (from 7/29 - 7/31). If someone is interested, this could be a good chance for a test run. We are, of course, willing to accept dog-sitters that aren't interested in adopting her as well!


If you or anyone you know is interested in adopting a dog, helping a dog (and her family) on a short-term basis, or dog sitting, please get in touch with me as soon as possible. Also, please feel free to contact me with any questions.


Thank you,


Chris Barker
