Walk Fido: Modern Retrieval

For those of us who work with rescue organizations every day, there is a sad, sad phrase that is often uttered about the single most difficult type of dogs to find homes for: big black dogs. No matter how lovely the dog is, no matter how perfect the temperament, many potential adoptive families overlook big black dogs at shelters all across the country in favor of dogs that have more unique coloring (blue! red! orange with stripes! white with brown spots!). This issue is so close to our hearts (we have a little black pit bull after all!) that we've decided to feature a weekly roundup of local BBDs that need homes. Their photos and links to their profile on PetFinder will remain on our site until these dogs find a home.

Modern Retrieval

As we quickly move into full-on summer, we know you're all planning trips with your pups. Whether you're going to the mountains, beach or just hanging out at a house with a pool, we always find we never have quite the right toy to play fetch with...that works just as well as it does on land as it does in the water.

Behold:

Imagine our delight when we saw this toy at DWR. (That's right, high-fallutin dog toys from your favorite high-fallutin home store.) Pretty as it might be, it's actually rugged and water-proof. Function and form at not a crazy price? We give this a thumbs up...way up. Just thought we'd share!
