Racing With Rover

Signing up for a race with your dog is a great way to keep you committed to your dog’s and your own exercise schedule, and it often has the added benefit of supporting a cause.

Jacey Birch: From Pet Lover To Animal Advocate

Since I was a tiny tyke growing up in Miami, I had a hobby of helping animals, whether it was saving a squirrel that fell out of a tree, or finding a feral cat a home off the streets, or bringing stray dogs home for my parents as presents.

I named him Arnold. There were many more names, many more animals, and a heart
