I ask everyone before you tuck into your warm bed with a belly full, THINK BEFORE YOU GET A DOG….
If your pet’s life is on a chain THIS IS NOT LIVING, it’s WRONG. NO, it’s not a crime but it’s damaging to your pet….a six foot circle dragging a weighted a chain is not living it’s prison…
If you want more information on shelter pets available, we can try to match you with a perfect shelter in your area! If it’s a certain dog you want, maybe we can match you to a certain rescue that can HELP! PenPals, DCI. 225-634-6051

Angels doctor called us and reported she is A DREAM….she is super sweet and on the HEALING SIDE of LIFE!
Special thanks to Cathy Bissell 🐾and BISSELL Pet Foundation for making her a GRATFUL PET creating her a HEALING PLAN❤️‍🩹
Angel is a doll. If you are looking for a pet that has struggled and WON! Angel could be the one! 1️⃣
Angel is a gentle soul. She loves runs and jogging, camping BUT AT HEART is a couch potato. She would love to see the beach and sunrise/sunset waves.
She does require an experienced handler that can work on “new” pet introduction …..
