For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place?

Take Me Home is an animal & pet adoption and rescue podcast. When you're looking to add a pet into your life, consider adopting a homeless animal . When you adopt a rescued pet, you are giving an animal a second chance at a new life. You also are bringing a new family member into your home, so it's not a decision you should take lightly. It's easy to look at pictures and find a cute dog or cat. But as with people, looks aren't everything. Having a good understanding a dog or cat's personality before you adopt is an important key to selecting the right pet for you. Join host Angela Marcus as she talks to guests about some of their favorite adoptable pets. These pets might be "diamonds in the rough" that may have been overlooked, but still need a great loving home. We'll shine the light on these pets and share their personalities, quirks, and stories with you. Because each pet is an individual, we'll talk about their special needs and offer educational information so you can easily deal with common problems such as a dog that jumps on people or a cat that scratches the furniture. Like people, no pet is "perfect." But the goal of Take Me Home is to promote happy adoptions. We'll showcase wonderful pets, tell stories, and even throw some pet education into the mix. So tune in and find out why the "pet adoption option" can be a great way to add a furry companion into your life.

There are another 3.4 million cats as well.

Angela Marcus interviews Catherine Malkemes, Executive Director and Jack Griffin, Director of Shelter Services from Women’s Animal Shelter in Bensalem, PA. 2019 marks the 150th Anniversary of the Animal Sheltering and Adoptions movement in America. It began in Philadelphia in 1869. And it began with women – thirty of them to be exact, who formally joined forces on April 14, 1869 to establish Women’s Animal Center. Outraged by the cruel manner in which strays on Philadelphia streets were captured and killed, they successfully petitioned City Council to take over the municipal pound as their initial order of business, repurposing it as the first facility in the U.S. for sheltering and rehoming animals. Hear the entire story and learn about how we’re celebrating this exciting milestone - and how you can get involved. Plus, meet Ranger – an almost senior mixed breed dog available for adoption at Women’s Animal Center. He’s a “leaner” and is looking for a couch to call his own. UPDATE: Ranger is ADOPTED!

Angela defines “economic euthanasia” and Danae explains how FACE’s program works to put an end to it in their community. The lifesaving funding that FACE provides is only one part of the process – their success is also dependent on the veterinary and community partners they have. Danae also shares two heartwarming, incredible success stories that will bring a smile to your “face.” We also learn about Bailey, a 12-year-old mixed-breed dog looking for a loving home in which she can spend her golden years. At about 50 pounds, Bailey is playful and completely housetrained. She LOVEs people and would do best as the only pet in the home. Bailey is spending her days at the Lifetime Animal Care Center, partners of FACE, in sunny San Diego, CA. The team there loves her so much and will ensure that she’s ready to go with up-to-date bloodwork, a dental cleaning, and a bath! She’ll also go to her new home with food, toys, shampoo and other goodies! If you are interested in bringing Bailey home, email Angela at angela@petliferadio.com. FACE’s annual holiday fundraising drive is throughout the month of December. Any donation received during December will be doubled by FACE’s Board President up to $100,000!

Thankfully, through a network of dedicated animal advocates, Floyd was brought to Sondra for rehabilitation. She has been working to nurse him back to health and with frequent physical therapy, massage and lots of time outdoors in the sunshine, he is well on the road to recovery and is now ready to for his forever home. Even though he is dog-friendly, Sondra wants him to find a home where he can be the only dog and “center of attention” to ensure he gets all the love he deserves!

This sweet girl was named after Lucille Ball because of her red hair. Right now, she's underweight, but she's a healthy fun-loving active dog who loves to play. Lucy was dumped on the streets in Marlboro, Massachusetts but was picked up by Peter Nikitas the Animal Control Officer in Marlboro. He kept her, fed her and got her back on her feet. Peter called Melissa asking if she could help find Lucy a new home. Of course, Melissa said yes and Lucy is staying with her as a foster dog. Lucy already knows basic commands and is always eager to learn and please. She loves to go for walks and car rides and is good with other dogs and children. Lucy would be a great family dog. She greets everyone with a wiggly wag and big smile. Melissa is hoping that Lucy can find her forever home, so she can take in more foster dogs who need help.

Susan Daffron talks to Darci Pfeiffer from the All Fur Love Animal Society in Las Vegas, Nevada about a three-year old female calico cat named Kallie. This sweet kitty loves dogs and people, although she's not a big fan of other cats. Kallie loves to be petted and will come over to you and start to rub and purr at you. If you stop petting and she wants more, she will reach out and lightly touch you as if to say, "Did you forget something?" She will snuggle with you as long as she can, but if she's not snuggling, then she is looking at you from high above. Kallie loves heights and the higher she can get the better. She will find someplace high to explore, no matter the challenge to get there. She is a talker who likes to engage people in conversation (Kallie's foster mom has had long chats with her). Kallie loves all kinds of toys, but her carrot, pepper and banna cat toy is her favorite. If you want an affectionate lap buddy to share time with on the sofa, Kallie is the kitty for you!

Susan Daffron talks to Lisa Morabito from Animal Rescue and Care Shelter (BARCS) in Maryland about a dog named Valentino who is available for adoption. This brown and white pit bull terrier mix is about two years old, housebroken and a favorite around the shelter because he's such a great all-around dog. Valentino was rescued by animal control who took him out of the horrid living conditions he was staying in and brought him to BARCS. When he arrived, Valentino was extremely emaciated and scared of people, but now he is now a very happy, healthy boy! Valentino loves going out for walks on leash, play time with other dogs in the yard, and crunchy dog treats. He also is a peanut butter-filled Kong fanatic. After he eats the peanut butter out of the Kong, he likes to throw the toy around and play catch with himself. The volunteers all love Valentino because he has such a great personality and loves everybody, including kids. Valentino is a laid back guy who already knows how to "sit" on command and loves cuddling and sleeping in the lap of whoever will let him. This wonderful dog is one of the longest term dogs at BARCS and he would love a home and family to call his own! Questions or Comments? Send them to: SusanD@petliferadio.com.

Ollie was the favorite dog of volunteers in a rural shelter, and a special plea was made for Pet Connect to rescue him. He was adopted, but then returned to Pet Connect by his original adopters because he got out. Ollie is a mix of several different breeds, probably hound and terrier mixed a smaller breed because he only weighs about 30 pounds. Ollie is an affectionate, playful dog who gets along with dogs, cats and kids.

Susan Daffron talks to Mindy Kelley, the cat volunteer coordinator from the Pet Welfare Adoption Center in Florida about a male gray tabby cat named Cyber who is available for adoption. Pet Welfare is located on the Eglin Air Force Base and often takes in animals from military families who are deployed to locations that make it unfeasible or impossible to bring their pets. Cyber was adopted from Pet Welfare when he was a kitten and earned his name because he used to sit next to a little boy who was playing video games. After several happy years in his first home, his family was deployed overseas and had to return Cyber to Pet Welfare to find a new home. Although Cyber has only been back with Pet Welfare for a short time, he has already been voted Mr. Personality because he's a talkative guy. He likes to chat with the volunteers, who tend to spend an extra minute or two petting him and finding out what he has to say. Cyber is extremely friendly loves attention from everybody. He loves kids and would do well in a family situation with children who are beyond toddler stage. If you're looking for a big, beautiful cat to join your family, consider adopting this lovable fellow.

Susan Daffron talks to Judy Ambrose from the Neponset Valley Humane Society in Massachusetts about a two-year-old female short-haired cat named Ruby. This beautiful pure white kitty has striking amber eyes and a few extra toes on her feet, so according to Judy, she looks like a "ballerina" when she walks. Ruby was found as a stray and was close to death when she was first rescued. She has a flea allergy, so she had skin problems and sores in her mouth that made eating painful. She was close to starving, but you'd never know it now. As her health has returned, her playful personality has emerged. Judy calls Ruby a "rough and tumble" cat because she just loves to play. She loves to stalk, run, pounce, plop and leap into the air with excitement all in an effort to catch her favorite string toy. This game never seems to get old for Ruby! She is a social cat who likes being petted or brushed and doesn't mind being held. However, she is not fond of other cats, so it would be best if she is the only cat in her new home. If you want to share your life with a fun and entertaining cat who also happens to be extremely pretty, then Ruby is the cat for you! Questions or Comments? Send them to: SusanD@petliferadio.com.

Susan Daffron talks to Abbi Collins from the Cat Care Society in Colorado about a female buff and white tabby named P.J. who is available for adoption. P.J. is a sweet cat who loves to cuddle up with people. She's a bit shy at first, but warms up to people once she has spent a little time with them.

Although she gets lots of human visitors throughout the day who stop by to make copies, it can get a little lonely at night. P.J. will probably bond closely to her new family and Abbi is hoping that P.J. can find a home where she can be the only cat.

Susan Daffron talks to Eddie Nichols from the Foothills Animal Rescue in Arizona about a dog named Lenny who is available for adoption. Lenny is a 3-year old large yellow Labrador retriever mix who weighs about 70 pounds or so. Eddie calls him a "gentle giant" and says that he loves to run around the yard and play. It would be ideal if Lenny could be an only dog, since in the past at the rescue facility he was somewhat selective in the dogs he got along with. Now that he's in foster care, he's more relaxed and seems to be getting along better with other dogs. But if you have a dog already, you'd still need to do an introduction before adopting Lenny to make sure the dogs like each other. The ideal home for Lenny is one that has adults and older children that will be gentle and loving. Right now, that two teenage girls at his foster home love walking him because he's very good on leash. Lenny does know basic commands and will sit nicely when you ask him. Eddie points out that even though Lenny is doing well in his foster home, he needs a forever home. When you adopt a dog, you make it possible for the foster family to help another dog.

Susan Daffron talks to Eric Gray from Smilin Pit Bull Rescue in New York about a Pit Bull named Aspen who is available for adoption. Aspen's foster mom Lorna was also on the call to give more details about this sweet dog that has made an amazing transformation both in health and personality thanks to the tender loving care of the volunteers and supporters working with the rescue. The detailed story of her rehabilitation is on her Web page, but the short version is that in January 2010, a rescuer found a female pit bull on the East Side of Buffalo, New York. Aspen was so emaciated Eric thinks she was one or two days away from dying of starvation. She had obviously been living on the streets for a long time and was severely underweight. She had an open wound and was losing fur due to lack of nutrition. In the photos, you can see every rib and the bones in her spine. But even though she'd obviously been through a lot, Aspen was a loving girl. Over time her health has returned and her personality has blossomed. Aspen loves people, has learned to play with toys, and adores a good tummy rub. At this point, all her medical issues are behind her and she's a beautiful dog again. Today, Aspen is a normal weight and her coat gleams with good health, so she's ready for her forever home. Aspen doesn't like cats, so Eric hopes to find a home where she can be an only dog.

15:34

Susan Daffron talks to Pamela Pinta from the East Coast Maine Coon Rescue (ECMCR) about two 13-month old male cats named Basil and Thyme who area available for adoption. Their equally herbally named siblings (Sage, Rosemary, etc.) were adopted as kittens but these two gorgeous cats have been in foster care for almost a year now. Basil and Thyme are a mix of Brown Tabby Mackerel Maine Coon and American Bombay. Many people aren't familiar with American Bombay cats, but they are nicknamed "Parlor Panthers" because of their sleek and glossy jet-black coats. Their unusual mixed-bred heritage means that both Basil and Thyme look generally like Maine Coon cats, except they have an extra sleek ebony coat. Pamela says the pair is a bit of a mischievous duo, but like most Maine Coon cats, they are extremely friendly, easygoing and social. Basil and Thyme are both "love bugs" who enjoy being around people and cuddling and purring in your lap. They also extremely playful and have a particular fondness for cavorting in the bathtub (minus water). Ideally, Basil and Thyme would like to be adopted together since they are so bonded. They would make ideal family companions, since they enjoy being around children, other cats and dogs.

Susan Daffron talks to Rebecca White from the Collie Rescue League of New England about a 6-year old smooth-coated collie named Jake who came into rescue because of a divorce in his family. Most people are more familiar with rough-coated collies, which have long hair like the TV star Lassie. Smooth-coated collies like Jake have the same pretty collie coloring and markings; they just have a shorter coat. Rebecca says that Jake has a typical collie personality which means he's a bit of a "velcro dog" who loves to be wherever his humans are. Because he loves people, he'd do best in a home where his family isn't gone all day. Jakes gets along with other dogs and cats and he loves kids. He particularly enjoys having his hindquarters scratched and will reward you with a little dance Susan calls the "butt scritch stomp." Although Jake can be a bit cautious about trying new things sometimes, he loves to play with his toys, romp around the yard, ride in the car, and go for walks. Jake knows a few obedience commands already, but like most dogs, he will bond even more strongly to his new family if they are willing to take him to a training class. If you love collies, check out this sweet, beautiful boy! More details on this episode MP3 Podcast - Jake - This Smooth-Coated Collie Can Dance on PetLifeRadio.com…

Susan Daffron talks to Kay Stout from the Second Chance Animal Sanctuary in Oklahoma about a dog named Oz who is available for adoption. Although his Web page says he's a Fox Terrier mix, looking at his photo, it's somewhat difficult to determine the various breeds that might make up Oz. Kay says he's an "All American" dog, which probably sums it up. He's a black and tan dog that is more or less lap-dog sized at about 20 pounds. Oz also has fabulous attentive-looking pointy ears and deep brown eyes. Personality-wise, Oz is one of those dogs who just loves people. He's a laid back guy who enjoys spending time with his humans, so a home with semi-retired or a work-at-home parent would be idea. Unlike a lot of dogs, he's not a super high-energy fellow and he's well past puppyhood, so he doesn't have extreme exercise needs. If you're looking for a cute, well-behaved dog that loves curling up in your lap, Oz could be just the dog for you.

Susan Daffron talks to Jen Nagle from the Standardbred Retirement Foundation about Dilly, a 9 year old Standardbred gelding available for adoption in Hamilton, New Jersey. "Another Creation N "Dillion" aka "Dilly" had a career at the harness racing track, but is happy to be a riding horse now. He is a 15.2hh dark bay horse with an easygoing personality. Many people don't realize what a versatile breed of horse Standardbreds are; they can do a lot more than just pull a cart. Because they are an easy-to-handle, people-loving type of horse, Standardbreds can be taught to do mounted police work, jumping, barrel racing, dressage or therapeutic riding work. Jen says that Dilly is lovely mover with a nice trot and canter. Because he bends well, he could be a great dressage horse with the right person. Jen points out that adopting a former racer has advantages in that these horses have already dealt with crowds and a lot of noise from being at a track. There isn't much they haven't already seen; they're used to grooming, bathing, farrier care, shipping, and not one, but two bits! These horses already have been taught basic manners and they come off the track already knowing how to start, stop, and steer. Because they are such an intelligent breed, the transition into life as a riding horse is usually an easy one. Like many of the other retired racers at the Standardbred Retirement Foundation, Dilly is an all-around great horse who can easily be trained to take you wherever you decide to go, whether it's the trail or the dressage show ring.

This beautiful cat has been in foster care for about a year and a half after being found as a stray when she was a kitten. Princess Anne is an incredibly playful, curious cat who bonds strongly with just one person.

Like any other member of royalty, she likes to be in charge and enjoys playing with her laser light and kitty toys. Princess Anne takes a little while to warm up to new people, but once she knows you, she is extremely vocal and loves to tell you what she thinks. Princess Anne is stunning cat with long silky hair, and Kathy has spent a lot of time helping her learn to appreciate the joys of a good combing, so she's easy to groom.

Susan Daffron talks to Cindy Hewitt from Miami-Dade Animal Services. about a three-year old white bulldog named Fred who is available for adoption. Miami-Dade is an open-admission shelter that receives 30,000 animals every year. Fred was a stray who unfortunately had a lot of ticks when he was brought in. Although he's tick-free now and looking much better, Fred did test positive for a tick-borne disease called Ehrlichia, which is sadly fairly common in the area. Fortunately, it is extremely treatable with antibiotics and (sometimes) corticosteriods. Fred does not seem to have an advanced case of the illness and Cindy expects him to make a full recovery. Personality-wise Fred is a bit reserved. He's not boisterous and walks beautifully on a leash. Instead of pulling, he is a gentleman who walks along with you nicely, simply taking in the surroundings and observing what's going on. Like many dogs at shelters, he's just waiting for the right person to come along and see his potential. That lucky person will be rewarded with a wonderful companion for years to come.

Susan Daffron talks to Jen Chapman from the Pet Welfare Adoption Center in northwestern Florida about a Australian Shepherd/Doberman Pinscher mix named Bear who is available for adoption. Pet Welfare is located at the Eglin Air Force Base in Northwest Florida and often works to help members of the military and their families with their pets. Bear is a sweet 7-year-old neutered male with pretty black and tan "dobie" marking and a happy smile. Unfortunately, he is back at Pet Welfare after having been adopted for two years and then returned. It's likely that his owners didn't spend enough time with him and Jen thinks he may have a bit of separation anxiety, so it would be great if he could be adopted by a family where someone is home often and can spend time with him. A retired couple or someone who works from home would be ideal. Since he's 7, Bear is well beyond the puppy phase and although he does need daily walks, he's also just happy to hang out with his people. Bear is a great dog that is looking for a second chance to bond with a family who will give him the love and attention he deserves.!

Susan Daffron talks to Kathy Akopov from PAWS Atlanta in Georgia about an American Staffordshire mix named Bonita. When she was three years old, Bonita was found roaming as a stray and taken to the shelter. She was in bad shape and almost furless, but the staff knew there was a beautiful dog underneath, so they named her "Bonita." She has been at PAWS Atlanta for 5 years now and grown into a hilarious, fun-loving girl. Bonita is housebroken, crate trained, and knows some basic commands. She gets along well with most other dogs and enjoys eating fruit. Kathy says that watching Bonita eat a banana is hilarious! Bonita has her own special dinnertime dance complete with spins in the air, which you can see in her video on the PAWS Atlanta Web site. Among her other fun, quirky behaviors, she also snorts like a pig when exploring and "smothers" you to get attention. She also snores with the best of them and even prances like a show dog. As you can tell, Bonita has a big personality and although she does love to run and play with her toys, she also settles down and is happy to just hang out. No one at PAWS Atlanta can figure out why this wonderful dog has been overlooked for so long. Bonita is energetic, funny, and adds joy to your life whenever you're in her company. PAWS Atlanta is doing a special "Home for the Holidays" promotion for long-term residents like Bonita and are offering 50% off her adoption fee through December 31, 2011.

Susan Daffron talks to Janet White from Camp Cocker in California about a cocker spaniel named Alvin who is available for adoption. Alvin is such a sweet and special little dog, his foster mom Janet started up a blog for him, which you can see at Little Alvin's Big Life. Alvin now has friends and supporters all over the world. He's a small caramel-colored cocker mix with huge brown eyes. Because he's smaller than most cocker spaniels, he has a perpetual "puppy" look, even though he's probably at least three years old. Although the folks at Camp Cocker don't know much about Alvin's past, they do know he came in as a stray in a Los Angeles area shelter. It's likely Alvin was an outdoor dog who was kept in a back yard with very little human contact. He can be shy and nervous around new people, particularly when he's inside. Unlike many small dogs, you can't just pick Alvin up and put him in your lap. Initially, he was fearful of being touched at all, and even now after lots of love and attention in foster care, Alvin still needs to warm up to new people a bit. He is responding extremely well to obedience training and he is motivated by food so he's easy to train. Janet says that just teaching Alvin to "sit" has reinforced the bond between them. Often learning a few obedience commands can give shy dogs more confidence, so Alvin would do best in a home with a patient owner who will give him the time and attention he needs to bond and learn. Wouldn't you just love to come home to that adorable face? More details on this episode MP3 Podcast - Alvin - A Sweet Little Dog Who Will Melt Your Heart on PetLifeRadio.com…

Susan Daffron talks to Carie Broecker from Peace of Mind Dog Rescue (POMDR) in California. POMDR works with both senior dogs and senior people. They specialize in finding homes for older homeless dogs or dogs whose owners can no longer care for them because of illness, death, or other circumstances. Lobo is an 8-year old Saint Bernard/Golden Retriever mix who weighs about 75 pounds. He is quite a bit smaller and has shorter fur than a Saint Bernard. Lobo came to POMDR with his 14-year old father Kaiser after they lost their home because of foreclosure. He was very bonded to Kaiser, but unfortunately Kaiser passed away a few months ago, so now Lobo is alone. Even though he doesn't have his buddy anymore, he's adapting and Lobo is still a happy older dog who particularly enjoys being around children. In his past life, he probably was an outside dog, so he would do best in a home with a doggie door or slider to a fenced yard, so it's easy for him to go outside when he needs to. Although he hasn't had a lot of obedience training, he's a smart boy who loves food, so he should be easy to train. Contrary to the old saw, old dogs can new learn new tricks! This sweet goofy older guy deserves a second chance at love. If you love big mellow dogs, check out his pictures and his smiling face.

Susan Daffron talks to Sansa Collins from Sanctuary One in Oregon. Sanctuary One is a Care Farm, a type of shelter more commonly found in the UK and Europe. In fact Double Oak Farm is the first such shelter in the United States. Sansa describes it as a working farm where people, animals and the earth are brought together for mutual healing. Bubba is about four years old, a beautiful orange and white tabby with perhaps a trace of Abyssinian. He has a sweet disposition, and is very loving with people of all ages. He's friendly with other cats and not too bad with dogs after the initial meeting. Bubba was transferred to the farm from the Rogue Valley Humane Society. It appears that he was hit by a car at some point, since he has a pelvis fracture that rehealed on its own. When he first arrived at Sanctuary One, Bubba dragged his back right leg, but a combination of diet and minor treatment has done wonders (he's on a wet cat food only diet and will continue to require a mild laxative). Bubba can now use his leg, and is a very active kitty. His perfect forever home includes indoor accommodations and a little extra care, but Bubba the super love bug would be a welcome addition to any family!

Star is a spayed female Canaan/Lab mix who ended up in rescue after she was almost killed (her prior owner slit her throat and left her to die). She was saved, recuperated and has been at Braveheart for a while now. According to Brandi (who has seen a LOT of dogs) Star is actually one of the smartest dogs she's ever met. Star is an easy dog to be with, walks well on a leash, gets along with other dogs, and loves going for car rides. Star also is an amazing athlete and her claim to fame at Braveheart is that the first day she was at the rescue, she scaled a 10-foot fence with ease. (She didn't actually go anywhere, but Brandi turned around and there was Star sitting looking at her.) Star is an amazing survivor and after her rocky start really deserves a fantastic home with someone who will appreciate what an amazing dog she is. As it says on her page on the Braveheart Web site, Star is "a perfect companion animal or working dog ... she has the capacity for both. She is an extraordinary dog and whoever she finds a home with will be a happy person/family."

Susan Daffron talks to Char Boroni from the Shelter Pet Rescue Network (SPRN) about a dog named Chelsea who is available for adoption. SPRN is a non-profit shelter located in Henderson Nevada, which offers services to southern Nevada and southern California. Specializing in the "bully breeds," SPRN rescues strays, homeless and death-row pets. Chelsea is an adorable, active American Pit Bull Terrier who is around two years old. She weighs about fifty pounds and has all the energy and agility that is characteristic of her breed. Chelsea loves playing with tennis balls. Her athletic ability makes her a natural for flyball, agility training or maybe even water sports. Chelsea's perfect forever home would be a loving family, couple, or individual who could keep her active both mentally and physically. Because she has been boarded for a while, children over the age of 12 would be a better fit. Chelsea is not aggressive with other dogs, but can be somewhat selective, so ideally any other dogs in the home should be around the same size and temperament. If you have an active lifestyle, Chelsea could be your new best friend! More details on this episode MP3 Podcast - Chelsea - An Active, Athletic Ball-Playing Dog on PetLifeRadio.com…

Riverfront Cats, located in downtown Miami, has seen an explosion of homeless felines. Christine rescued both these cats as kittens from a nearby colony, though neither one is feral. They were probably dumped or strays who had a home at one time; they love the cushy indoor life at their foster home with Christine. As Christine points out, contrary to popular myth, most black cats actually aren't "scaredy cats" at all and are extremely social. And Johnny Walker and Tiffany are no exception. Johnny Walker is about a year and a half old and extremely people-friendly. He loves laps and even is willing to go to the store on a leash. Tiffany is a small petite female, about a year old, who loves to play. Both cats are pure black and Christine hopes someone will adopt them together, since they already enjoy each other's company. In fact, because it's "Black is Back" month, Christine is offering a two for one adoption fee, along with a gift basket including his/her pet bowls, a food mat, a bag of premium dry cat food, a stack of premium canned moist food, new toys, the book 50 Games to Play with your Cat and a bottle of Coppola wine.

Berkeley is a dog who was actually transferred from Georgia through the Paws Across America program. When the Animal Welfare Society has space available, they work with volunteers in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Georgia to transport puppies and dogs from overcrowded facilities to Maine for a second chance at life. In Berkeley's case, a Georgia volunteer saw this 2 1/2 year old Labrador Mix and realized that as black dog, no matter now nice he is Berkeley might be overlooked for adoption simply because of his coloring. Berkeley was treated for heartworm and then made the trek northward to Maine. He is an energetic smart dog who is treat-motivated and eager to please so he'll be extremely easy to train. This loveable dog would be a great addition to almost any family, even if you're a new dog owner. If you've been looking to include a great dog in your life, Berkeley could be just the dog for you.

Lois is a sweet tan and white "Benji look-alike" dog who ended up at the shelter after her owners turned her in.

Susan Daffron talks to Chase Inman and Nicole Cook from the Martinsville-Henry County SPCA in Southwest Virginia about two dogs who are available for adoption. Tattoo is a male neutered American Staffordshire Terrier mix with huge soulful brown eyes and a pretty reddish brown coat. He has a very round face, so he might have some bulldog in there somewhere too. Tattoos best canine buddy at the SPCA is another AmStaff mix named Elvira, who has a fawn-colored coat and white markings. These two wonderful dogs would fit in well in just about any home. The volunteer dog walkers all love these two friendly dogs -- fans and supporters range from elementary school age to retirees. Both Tattoo and Elvira are about two years old. The SPCA doesn't know too much about their history because they came into the SPCA from other facilities after being picked up as strays. If you're looking for all around great dogs who walk beautifully on leash, you won't find a nicer pair of dogs than Tattoo and Elvira!
