Santa Paws Believes that Dogs Deserve Better!


An anonymous gift from a Texas woman calling herself Santa Paws as well as donations from pet lovers from all across the country means a brighter Christmas for 100 rescued dogs. Santa Paws gave $5000 to the group Dogs Deserve Better based in Altoona, Pennsylvania.  Another $5000 was raised on the Dogs Deserve Better web site.


As a result, Tamira Thayne, the group's representative, was able to buy $10,000 in PETCO gift cards which will go to the foster parents of 100 dogs. Thanks to Santa Paws, Dogs Deserve Better has been able to buy three times the gift cards for foster dogs that had lived chained or kept outside. They will each get a bed, treats and some toys that they never had before.


How do you feel about dogs being kept in pens or chained outside?  Go to Dogs Deserve Better if you would like to support their cause.

Your Pets View is Back!



Welcome back to YourPetsView! Pet parents have been known to say that you cannot teach an old dog new tricks. I disagree.  First of all, I am not an old dog...I am just growing older.  I loved having my pet parent post to this blog.  We were doing so well that we were the recipient of a Top 50 Pet Blog award among others.

YourPetsView was hosted on a very trusted hosting site...but it was eaten by a nasty virus and not a word could be salvaged. My new trick is to back up my data...just like burying my bone in a "safer" place.

As a result of this experience, I plan to bring you more of what I have learned in many different formats. We will be bringing you local and world-wide news.  I wish to enhance the relationships that we have with our pet parents and assist you in raising the passion within them to live their life on purpose. Of course, our biggest challenge is to teach our pet parents to live in the moment just as we do. :-)

The pillow in my photo has the expression "It's all about me."  I want to assure all of you that this blog is more about all of you.  Have your pet parents comment on the blogs and share your ideas by clicking on the comment button below. Subscribe to our blog, podcasts, videos and newsletter as they become available. Pet professionals as well as our pet companions will be invited to share their stories. We will have a way for you to subscribe in our sidebar on the right.  Connect with us now on Google Friends. 

Let's enjoy our lives together by bringing out the best in each other!
