Dear Sparky,
What do you think about
invisible fences? Are they
a safe and humane way of
keeping my dogs safely in
my yard?
Thank you,
Bob and his dog Jake

There's something about a
big shiny black dog that just
appeals to me. Maybe it's
because they appear to be
somewhat mysterious and
less readable in their facial
expressions than a lighter
coated dog. Perhaps I love
the breeds that are dark
coated-the Shepherds,
Rotties, Dobermans and
Black labs-big, loyal
working dogs that
demand attention by their
mere presence. (continue...)

Gunner has now been in
foster care for three months,
having had Femoral Head
Ostectomy surgery on his left
hip in January. He began
recovery like the true champ
he is. An unfortunate slip on
the ice and 'jailbreak' on the
same day, led to a setback in
terms of swelling and pain
for him. However, he still

hip in January. He began
recovery like the true champ
he is. An unfortunate slip on
the ice and 'jailbreak' on the
same day, led to a setback in
terms of swelling and pain
for him. However, he still
takes meds with delight (as they're hidden in cream cheese), and
tolerates manipulation of his leg, pool exercise and the Elizabethan
Collar.. Movement is restricted until complete recovery, so he
spends most of his time hanging with his foster family in two big
rooms, and taking brief walks on a leash.
At his one month post-operative check-up (Feb 24th), his anti-
inflammatory drugs were extended, and additional therapy
recommended for another full month. Like a kid, Gunner doesn't
know his own limits, and enjoys each walk in the snow with a bit of
happy hops. His foster family hopes that Mother Nature is more
cooperative from here forward so that his therapy can be
maximized and he can romp and return to better health...and a new
furever family! Click here to read Gunner's full story.

Jake is a gorgeous black lab
mix who is about 5 years old.
He was brought into a shelter
in Huntingdon County over a
month ago by a family who had
him for 2 years. They never
took him to the Vet and simply
said they just didn't want him
anymore. They adopted him a
mix who is about 5 years old.
He was brought into a shelter
in Huntingdon County over a
month ago by a family who had
him for 2 years. They never
took him to the Vet and simply
said they just didn't want him
anymore. They adopted him a
few years back by responding to a "free ad" in the paper. So this
sweet boy was given up twice through no fault of his own. When he
was dropped off at the shelter a month ago he was very scared.
You see......Jake is completely blind. He has fully developed
cataracts in both eyes. We are unsure how long he has been blind
but we know he has been without medical care for over 2 years.
Not being able to see and being in an unfamiliar place that is so
noisy with other dogs was just very overwhelming for him. When
our Brookline volunteer came in to evaluate him he wasn't sure he
could trust her. (continue...)
