Seventeen years, plus a few odd months, my husband and I were looking for a Jack Russell terrier to…read moreadopt. Unbeknownst to me, he had been communicating with Star-Mar rescue in Wooster and showed me a photo of the most ungainly JRT I'd ever seen. The dog had the coloring of the breed but longer legs than any JRT I'd ever seen with crazed look in his eyes. We went to visit Martha, (the Mar in Star-Mar) and met this incredibly heroic woman and a houseful of white and brown barkers. Bosco, originally Bobby, was as wild as his eyes suggested. Martha had the battle scars to prove it with a knee she had destroyed chasing him. This is his story, as best as I can recall more than 17 years later: The year-old dog was a marked man in the Youngstown pound and slated for death when Martha discovered him and whisked him to safety in the nick of time. At their first encounter, he threw up in her car. Not an auspicious beginning. The rescue had him several weeks, a longer stay than normal. It seemed he was an undisciplined thug. Initially, he was being fostered at a farm with horses. Once again, the dog faced certain death due to his penchant for the chase-of the horses. (Those of you who love the breed are chuckling: "A JRT chaser, imagine that.") Bosco was relocated to Martha's during which time she vainly tried to make him acceptable to civilized society. As I recall, she said he had lost two or three e-collars during his nightly hunting trips over her acreage. After what I remember as three hopeful placements, the dog was deemed hopeless by just about everyone but Martha. Then she got an email from a retired guy in Fairlawn who showed an interest in the mongrel. Woah, I'm sure she thought. A possible match? She was reluctant to pursue the possible adoption due to the fact the guy was over 50. Who wouldn't be? Hubby convinced his doubly doubting wife to go meet this animal. During the meet and greet, the wife, hereafter referred to as I, remained unconvinced-knowing full well this dog would be the biggest challenge we'd ever had in a dog. But since it has always been my style to make my loved ones' wishes come true, I reluctantly agreed to take him home. In the car on the way back to Fairlawn, Bosco threw up in my lap. That was the moment I knew this dog needed and deserved a forever home more than any animal I'd ever met. It took several training classes and he has never lost his desire to chase anything that moves. He gets anxious and he still paces as if he's on the end of a chain. He still walks a minimum of two miles a day, usually in his favorite park with his pack, five miniature schnauzers and his best friend Milly, a seven pound fluff ball. The activity is proven life extender for both of them. As Martha says, "Motion is lotion." As we promised on the adoption papers, we have kept our end of the bargain. Our secret to his longevity? Long walks, the absolute best food I can afford (check with dog food advisor) annual trips to the vet, NO PESTICIDES on this paws and probably good Youngstown genes. But Bosco, at 17, has had no major illnesses (one kidney infection) totally deaf and just a tad under weight, still embraces life with a fervor matched by only a few people. He is my . Thanks, Martha.

Instead, I was shocked to be charged nearly $400 for euthanasia on a stray cat. I understand veterinary care has costs, but that price feels excessive and unreasonable, especially for someone trying to help a homeless animal out of compassion. What was I supposed to do -- let her suffer outside and risk my children finding dead kittens in our yard? I stepped in because it was the right thing to do, and instead of feeling supported for helping an animal in need, I left feeling upset, discouraged, and taken advantage of during an already emotional situation. Bills like this make people think twice before helping strays, and that is heartbreaking.

First of all, they got me in the same day which was amazing. The lady at the front desk who checked me in was very kind and checked in on me and how I was doing. They also had a candle lit with a sign for people saying goodbye to their pets. The two wonderful ladies that were involved in my hamsters care were so great every step of the way. Explaining everything in detail, offering options throughout, as well as they were so very gentle and kind to my pet. They surprised me with a leatherbound framed pawprints stamp of my pet and I can't even express how much that meant to me, such a special gift that touched my heart and I'll cherish forever. They also offered and let me check out privately in the room, and even let me walk out a separate door from the front entrance. All of that is to say, there is a reason this veterinary practice is so highly regarded. If you go here, you WILL receive the utmost care for you and your pet. Your pet will be treated with so much respect and care no matter how big or small. Very thankful for this practice.

Timshell breeds Goldendoodles, Cavapoos, and, our favorite, Cava-Poo-Chons…read more The Cavapoochon (a tri-breed mix of King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, Poodle, Bichon) is the most intelligent, INTUITIVE, healthy, "perfect" dog blessed to man. The puppy is hypoallergenic. My child is asthmatic and has not reacted to the dog in 3 years. The dog does not shed hair or skin and he is not oily. When regularly bathed he has no odor -- adverse or pleasant. (Regular bathing means every 4-6 weeks when his hair is long and longer intervals when he has short hair.) His fur is very soft and pleasant to the touch. He looks like a puppy when born and never loses this "puppy" appearance. His face brings joy to those who do not like dogs. He is playful yet not needy. He loves to play fetch and has favorite toys. He has a toy "cat" that he sleeps with every night. He is very, very smart and constantly alert. He can figure out how to assist his master and will employ self-help to assist himself when necessary. He communicates effectively and differently depending on the person to whom he is attempting to relay a message. For example, with me, he stands and stares at me then the thing he needs -- the door to go outside or his food or his toy that is too high for him to reach. If I am not paying attention, he will gently place his paw on my leg to get my attention. For my child, he may "talk" and look at what he needs because getting my child's attention takes more effort. This behavior was learned intuitively and remarkably. He is a companion dog who wants to be close to you but does not want to be held or in your way. Ours was easily trained as an emotional support dog. He is the sweetest, kindest dog. He goes to work with me while my son is at school. He is protective yet friendly...the consummate "professional yet friendly" dog personality. He can tell when one of our family is not feeling well -- physically or otherwise. When one of us is ill, he will not leave our bedside. He is very loyal and a blessing in this way. I could tell you so many things about this wonderful dog. He trained easily and quickly because he wants his master to be pleased with him. I say he came trained because we were never able to train a dog before this one. This dog is trained on command with either hand or voice. Most training commands were learned the first time he was shown. Even the trainers were amazed. Ours is truly the "perfect" puppy. Since the time that the Rogers of Timshell Farms worked with geneticists and veterinarians and other professionals to create this breed, many unrelated others have capitalized on their idea and financially benefitted from their efforts. However, not just anyone could create such a special gene pool as the Rogers created when they put together this very special line of genetics which have such unique and desirable traits. Again, ours is truly the perfect puppy and we are grateful, grateful, grateful.
