If you or someone you know is looking to adopt a dog, there are a few things you should keep in mind. If you’re big into exercise, you might want a furry friend who can keep up on some long trails. If you work in an office full-time, having a pet that doesn’t get separation anxiety is another aspect to consider.

An Ohio father read from the Bible, told his children he loved them, and called his own father – cryptically telling him that his eldest boy would be “the hardest one” – before he murdered his three young sons in a horror attack at the family home.

They call it “tears of a senior” at the San Bernardino City Animal Shelter. That’s where eight-year-old Scarlett, a red, female Mastiff is so confused and just out of sorts; she waits for the family she’s supposed to have at the front of her kennel, softly whimpering hoping they will hear her.

Anderson, IN

Three months ago, a one-year-old dog named Robert arrived at the The Animal Protection League Inc., Indiana in Anderson, Indiana.

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears.
