Pet parent or pet owner: Caring for cats and dogs is not like raising children.

Pet Parents Day

“For those who tirelessly scoop poop, dish out kibble and share a cramped bed with four paws, this day is for you.

You’ve planned birthday parties for Fido, bought specially-formulated oatmeal shampoo that costs more than your own, and made a point to stroll down the pet aisle every time you shop at the convenience store.
You might even plan vacations that include your pet, or make a point to carve out a couple of hours a day for playtime at home, a dog park or even the beach.
Devoted pet parents like you deserve more than a pat on the back—celebrate Pet Parent’s Day® and bond with your pet this weekend.”

ADOPTED!! Available for adoption – Buddy (chihuahua)


UPDATE – Buddy has mastered the game of fetch!  He loves to chase the ball all over the yard and brings it right back and drops it for another go!

Buddy has an awesome temperament, is super sweet, and very loving to every one he meets. He was surrendered as a chihuahua, and most likely is a deer head chihuahua, but he reminds us of our Miniature Pinscher. 

Buddy was surrendered with his Pom sister Minnie because the family did not know the daughter was allergic to dogs. He was born on April 18, 2014, just over 6 lbs, is up to date on all shots and is neutered.  

He is very athletic and agile. He has very long legs and looks like a tiny deer when he runs.  Our bed is about 2.5 feet high and he jumps onto the bed without a running start.  He’s very attentive and eager to please. I think he would make an excellent agility dog.

He’s also perfectly fine curled up on the couch watching TV all day, but he does need some exercise. 

He is good with kids and dogs, he hasn’t met a cat yet. He should be in a home with someone that likes to play in the day and snuggle at night.  His favorite place to sleep is curled between my legs. 

Buddy’s adoption fee is $200

Pomeranian Club of Central Virginia Recipes

Wheat Free Pumpkin Dog Biscuits

Makes 3-4 dozen with a 1×2″ cookie cutter.
Ingredients:
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 c. organic canned pumpkin
  • 2 tbsp. powdered milk
  • 1/4 tsp. sea salt
  • 1 tsp. dried parsley leaves
  • 2 1/2 c. rice flour
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º.
Whisk together the eggs and pumpkin puree until smooth. Stir in powdered milk, salt, and parsley until well combined. Add rice flour a little at a time until you have a firm, dry dough. I used a rubber spatula to fold in the flour until the dough got too tough, and then I switched to kneading with my hands.
Roll out the dough to about 1/4″ thickness, and use a dog bone cookie cutter (or any other cute but smallish cutter) to cut out shapes, and place them on an ungreased cookie sheet. Pop them in the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Flip over the biscuits, and bake for another 10-15 minutes until baked through and turning golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool completely before feeding to your pup.

ADOPTED!!! – TANK 07/2014

Please share this post and help us get the word out on this guy.


What a sweetie!
He is a throwback Pom at about 13 pounds. A nice clear orange.  He would be an awesome family dog! 

Tank would love to go for daily walks and maybe a game of indoor fetch on those dark, rainy evenings, but he’d be just as happy hanging out with his people on the couch.
He would be okay with other dogs and kids to play with!  He is very patient and his foster mom says that it is tested constantly with a little obnoxious puppy that likes to cause trouble.  He knows sit and comes when called, he is working on other commands, but it’s hard with so many other dogs at his foster home.
We don’t have any paperwork on this guy, but they thought he was about 10. His age is a bit suspect as he has a full mouth of sturdy teeth, no white along the muzzle and no indicators that he is in fact that old.  Perhaps closer to 7 or 8.
Click here to send an email or send a message to Margaret McKee of Goochland on FB to contact his foster mom directly, or message us here for the phone number.  His foster mom’s PC is on the fritz so please include your phone number so she can call you.
Tank’s adoption fee is $200.

You Can Prevent Dog Bites

This picture is exactly why we advocate educating children and their parents on the do’s and don’ts of kids around dogs. Small children are at face level with a lot of dogs. When we are out in public with our children and there are dogs present, even thought they are on leashes, we need to pay attention to their body language. Dogs give warnings. It is true, they do not want to bite. Their warnings come in body language and in vocal growls. Pay attention folks. Most bites are preventable.
