Vote for the Bravest Dog of the Year – Hero Dog Awards!
It never really surprises me when I hear about a dog’s amazing feats of strength, determination, loyalty, and intelligence to help a human (or other fellow animal) in need.

We’ve written before about San Francisco Animal Care and Control sending chihuahuas and chi mixes to New York City for adoption with the help of Virgin America. Now, it seems the lovely state of Idaho can’t get enough of California’s famous chihuahuas either. For the second time in the same number of months, a large group of at-risk chihuahuas and chihuahua mixes have been transferred from an overcrowded shelter in Porterville, California, (where my Joey was rescued) to the Idaho Humane Society where they will be adopted. The San Francisco Chihuahua Meetup and Simply She, a pet fashion company, sponsored the transfer. Volunteers from San Francisco Chihuahua Meetup drove the dogs to Idaho over the course of several days and raised money for the trip. Read the rest of this entry »
