My Facebook friend Greg has experienced something with his dog that I never knew existed and it’s something all dog owners in this area should know about. It’s something that humans can get too and is picked up in wet marshy lands like the areas where many of us walk our dogs. Here’s his story and the symptoms to watch for. Let us know if you’re beloved pet experienced this and where they picked i

Wow, the City of Duluth is on top of it this year.  While on their website I noticed that you can already go online and get your pet licensed for 2017.  I've lived in the country most of my life, so moving to Duluth was a culture shock where pets are concerned.  My dog is now on a leash in the yard for safety concerns, his and that of people passing by.  Before you get busier with holiday festivit

Please excuse my rant, but we are very lucky in the Northland to have several dog parks, nature trails and the Lakewalk to exercise our pets.  It amazes me that so many pet owners either don't take pride in our scenic beauty or care about keeping it nice for others.  This past weekend I found this, which is impressive for the dog's aim, but not impressive that it was left there by the owner for me

July 4th is a tough holiday for pets, but so is Halloween. People always knocking on your door, screaming for candy, all kinds of strangers coming in your yard. This isn't normal to your pet and sometimes they are afraid. Here are some tips from WANE and the ASPCA: Pets will be safest if kept inside the house or keep them in a kennel, especially if they feel safe in it ...

Daryl from Animal Allies wanted to say thank you to everyone, every time we talk about the animals they have up for adoption and put them on our website, we are able to find a home for them, and we couldn't do it without the help of the community. This week is Bolt, I know there is a movie about a dog named bolt, but this is a cat.

This morning while on Facebook I received a share from Katrina and the Missing Pets In The Northland page.  It was about a lost dog named Elvis that his owner had posted.  Have you seen Elvis?  Our hope is that you have him and we can now unite him and his owner, Zach.

Animal Allies if featuring cats in the month of September and our featured cat Callie is one of them. If you have been thinking of taking home a cat or know someone who has been saying they want a cat, visit Animal Allies this month and find your match.

I talked to Daryl this morning and he reminded me that it's adopt a cat month. Every cat 1 year or older is only $25 bucks to take home. Some of these cats would love to find a place and someone to love on. If you are a cat lover this is the best time to take one with you to make part of your family.

Meet Harold! He is a friendly dog with a sweet disposition. I hear that and I wonder, why is that good? Daryl from Animal Allies says dogs with a good disposition are easy to get a long with and have great patience. Harold is ready to go home with someone who promises to love him...

Daryl called me and said that he couldn't help but notice that this cat was a lot like the star they are named after. Betty White has class, is a great sidekick (in more ways than one), and wants to be loved. Here's what he had to say to me about her.

Animal Allies needs your help twice. Buddy is an orange tabby domestic longhair that needs a home and Animal Allies also lost their transport vehicle and is asking for your help to replacement.

Here's a pair of friends that can't be separated. These two work as a pair and function as a duo. Why take Batman away from Robin? Who would separate Hall from Oates or Brooks from Dunn?
