Dog news for the Sarasota Florida area
By Suzanne Quick It’s been a month now since Jamaica Joe and Ralphie came to live with us. Ralphie the Yorkie is making all kinds of progress. I think he knows his name, and consistently wags his tail, if not his whole body, he’s a joy. For all the world you would think that this [...]
By Suzanne Quick Both dogs are really coming into their own personalities. As in the beginning, Ralphie is acclimating the most quickly. He’s wagging his tail and bouncing around the house.

Lori is a pet psychic and communicates with all kinds of animals. Lori said that Joe had lots of questions for [...]
When 263 dogs were discovered in Venice living in deplorable conditions, Sarasota County Sheriff’s Department Animal Services accomplished what seemed impossible. Within 3 days, local rescue groups had relocated all of the dogs. Groomers shaved long neglected locks and furs, veterinarians evaluated and provided medical care, and rescue groups lavished love and attention on [...]
