Tricks to Make Halloween a Treat for Your Small Dog.
Halloween is days away. If you plan to pass out candy to trick-or-treaters, here are some ideas to make it enjoyable for your little doggy. If your doggy goes bonkers when the doorbell rings or someone knocks, consider keeping your furry friend in a room well away from the front door or doorbell. Think about putting your dog's favorite blanket and toys, or crate in a room until the trick-or-treating ends.
If you have a doggy that loves people, remember, he or she may not love people in costumes, especially short, excited people traveling in groups. If your pup becomes overly excited or nervous when trick-or-treaters arrive, consider keeping him or her away from the door.
For those with a "door buster" doggy, one that tries to bolt out any open door, be extra careful on Halloween night. Make sure your doggy is wearing an ID tag and be extra careful each time the door opens to pass out candy.
If you're planning to take your doggy trick-or-treating with your children, remember you'll probably see lots of zombies, monsters, fairies and superheros wandering the streets. Keep you pup on a short leash and remember, just because your dog loves people, don't assume he or she will love people in costumes. Also keep an eye out for magic wands, swords and other costume accessories that could scare or injure your dog.
One more thing, don't forget to keep you Halloween candy bowl well out of reach of your pup. Chocolate is a no-no for doggies.

Two years ago Adam Sandoval and Scooter, his beloved Chihuahua, set out on what would be their first of six trips across the U.S. on a motorcycle. The duo was on a mission to raise money for Wounded Warriors. Over the course of two years, they covered 82,000 miles, visited every Harley Davidson dealership in America and hauled in a whopping $250,000 for Wounded Warriors.

We're so proud of the Charleston Animal Society for successfully moving 200 dogs and cats out of the path of Hurricane Matthew. The Animal Society staff and a whole bunch of volunteers put their own hurricane preparation plans aside to get the shelter animals safely on their way to higher ground, and to find forever homes. Another 100 animals we placed in foster homes away from coastal South Carolina. Big thank you to all involved.

AIRBNB- Marnie the Dog from DKC PRODUCTIONS on Vimeo.
Did you know Airbnbhas over 600,000 pet-friendly listings? To point that out, the company enlisted the help of the oh so cute Marnie The Dog, an adorable Shih Tzu found on the streets of Connecticut when she was about 10 years old. Thankfully this sweet little gal was rescued and is now living the pampered life she deserves, splitting her time between NYC and LA. We love hearing stories about older dogs being rescued. As a bonus, Airbnb made a donation toMuttville, a San Francisco-based charity dedicated to bettering the lives of older dogs through rescue, foster care, adoption and hospice services.

Are you tired of being on your knees, hunched over the bath tub while you wash your small dog? The Bathe & Go Grooming Tub might be just what you need. This durable plastic tub stands three feet tall and fits inside a standard bathtub, elevating your doggy to a much more comfortable height for washing.

Beneath The Fur from National Dog Day on Vimeo.
National Dog Day was started in 2004 to raise awareness of the need for homes for shelter dogs. Along with raising awareness for just home many dogs need homes, National Dog Day is also meant to celebrate dogs of all breeds, especially working dogs - police dogs and other dogs that put their lives on the line to keep humans safe.
One great way to celebrate National Dog Day is to make a donation - financial or dropping off something from their wish list - to a local shelter or rescue organization.
For all of you out there who have welcomed a dog (or multiple dogs) into your life, give yourself a pat on the back and your furbaby some extra lovin'.
Visit the National Dog Day website to discover more about this important day.

Talk about bravery. When three men saw a car sinking in the Baton Rouge flood waters, they sprang into action to rescue a woman, and her small dog. As you'll see in the video, the car is completely submerged when the woman is pulled out of the car. The rescuer went right back under the water to save the woman's little white dog. An amazing act of kindness.
