It's My Dog's World: I Just Live In It

Yet another reason to love Zachary Quinto: a dog adoption short film comedy

Besides the fact that he's from Pittsburgh, went to CMU, scared me as Sylar, crushed it as Mr. Spock, and did a dyno-mite job in the revival of "Angels in America."

Now: He and his rescue dog Noah (who appears to have a British accent) are starring in a short film about dog adoption.   And the project, directed by Sian Heder (who! wrote! for Men of a Certain Age, my favorite series of late), is blowing up on Kickstarter, which will also raise awareness about adoption, and feature pound dogs.   Enjoy, and spread the word.

 

 

 

Boyd the pirate beagle needs a home

I wandered across this beautiful one-eyed boy at an adoption fair in Brooklyn's Prospect Park. He's a healthy little guy who's survived major surgery, and he's ready for you to take him home.  

Adopt Shortcake for Christmas!

 

 

Shortcake is still waiting for her magical adopters to walk through the door.  I had a lovely walk with her yesterday--she is happy to meet any dog, any human, and her 'sit' is getting much better.   Then I took her back to Water4dogs, where she had a delightful group swim with my dog Faith, and the pool mascot, Jinjer. 

Shortcake was left at the doggy daycare for boarding a couple of YEARS ago, and her owners never came back.  She would be an ideal dog for a triathlete.  She's a fantastic runner and swimmer, and I bet if you hitched her to your bike,  you would come in first.

So, if you're in New York City during the holidays, check out Shortcake at 77 Worth Street...she's a sweet girl.  Interested, call Water4dogs and ask for Jen. 212-285-4900.

She's waiting...

 

 

 

 

 

Yep, Shortcake still needs a home

I was lucky enough to have an appointment downtown this week so I had time to walk the glorious Shortcake, part Dal, part Akita, all cuteness.

Shortcake lives at The Wagging Tail/Water for Dogs, a doggie daycare and pool, amongst other dogs.  She was rescued off the street as a pup.  As a result, she is a little lopsided in terms of her training.  She is terrific around other dogs, good around people,  rambunctious, and still in need of some obedience training.  She will sit if you stand directly in front of her.  Heel is a challenge. (A trainer is working with her.)  But I can walk her on the streets of lower Manhattan and give strangers directions while she waits patiently. Which is pretty fantastic.

Interested, call Water4dogs and ask for Jen. 212-285-4900.  She LOVES to be walked. 

Shortcake STILL needs a home

A video from a couple of months ago. She's still looking for her forever home.Still waiting for you at Tribeca's cool doggy day care and swimming pool,  Water4dogs. Please email me if you want more details.  Because she lives at a doggy day care, she is super dog friendly.   Training?  Yep, she needs it.  But I took her out this past Saturday amongst a gigundous crowd of people biking and running and rollerblading in lower Manhattan, and all she was was friendly. 

Scary pitbull of the week (not) who needs to be adopted
