  • Farewell to Zack, a "throw-away" dog.

    My dog Zack died today. Zack was just eight years old and like all your dogs are to you (I am sure), he was very special to me. I am not writing this story to make you all miserable with me. Heavens knows if you love your animals you are either going...

    Foxy's story is really unique and very special. She was a very expensive horse and was purchased by a wealthy woman for her daughter. They built a stable for the horse, and hired a stable boy to care for the horse. The girl that owned the horse was...

  • The Adventures of Cam

    Some of you may be sick of hearing about Cam, but to me, his story is the finest example of what an organization like Best Friends can do. Take a "throw-away" dog, a dog that practically any other shelter would have put down, and turn that dog...

  • Our New feral cat house!

    So while Sara was alive, she had made a deal with a group of cat lovers that ran a feral cat shelter down in the city. Their shelter was in a tentative location and they were not sure how long they could remain in that place. They had the foresight to...

  • Sunny the goat, goes home…

    So it turns out that with the new master plan from Best Friends for Pets Alive, we need to find a good home for some of our farm animals. Chenoa Manor is trying to work with us on taking some of them (they helped us with Andrew the steer and BoBo the...

  • Senior dogs going home in droves....

    So do you remember my blog about senior dogs and how important that I thought it was that we try to get them a real "home" to live in, at least once in their lives? Well, it seems our senior dogs are really flying out of here. Lots of them are...

  • Memorial Service at Pets Alive

    It started out with my blog about the loss of Jason. People really responded to it. You can see all the posts in response to that blog, but none responded more to the loss of sweet Jason, than the volunteers that saw him every week, that had come to know...

  • The terrible loss of one very sweet, elderly dog.

    This is the story about Jason. Jason is a very senior German Shepherd Dog that lived at Pets Alive for just about as long as I was there. I am going to preface this story with some warnings. This is not going to be one of my happier blogs. I apologize...

  • Pixie and Dixie, our resident troublemakers.

    Every school, every party, every large family has it's resident troublemakers. Pets Alive has our own "bad kids" too. They go by the name of Pixie and Dixie and they are our two Muscovy ducks. These two are always in trouble. (that is not...

  • The Will to Live of One Blind Duck

    Anyone who has ever been to Pets Alive knows the story of 'Blind Duck'. That is not actually her name. It is just what we ALL call her. Her real name is Daisy. I don't know if any staffer would know that though...we all call her 'Blind...

  • There's something about Karen....

    Something glaringly missing in my blogs is the mention of my right-hand man…well…woman. Karen Lieberman. I don’t leave mention of her out on purpose, it is just that every time I start to mention her, my blog winds up being completely about her, and that...

  • A few of my favorite things....

    I'm no Julie Andrews (in more ways than one!), but I think we all have some things that we look at and say "wow, how lucky can I be?". I have a lot of those things in my life, and I try to never take any of them for granted. Here at Pets...

  • The Rescue of the Elusive Guinea Hen

    Let me preface this blog by saying that I was not there for the CAPTURE, only the release, but I heard this story from so many laughing people that I feel as if I can tell the story...if however it is a little fraudulent for me to do so. I don't know...

  • Pig Migration

    Did I ever mention that we have 17 pigs here at Pets Alive? How or why, has never been determined, actually. I do know how a few came to be here, but most we have no idea what their stories are. We did get six pigs when the Catskill Game Farm, a big "petting...
