Ty’s Last Late Night Run

Around 2:00 this morning Ty Steele, one of our foster dogs, woke us up.  I say “us” because he went from Marie’s side of the bed to my side, back and forth, poking his nose into our faces.  We thought at first he was wanting to play and we encouraged him to go back to […]

Roscoe: Police Dog Wannabe

Roscoe is a large, powerful “pit bull” who has been a long time resident of Newport Animal Control (Tennessee).
