Lisa Dougherty rescued Sunny at 5 months old from the Orange County Animal Shelter (see his picture on the right). He’s almost 7 now and a big part of Lisa's life! But it doesn't end there! Lisa just adopted Scout, an adorable shepherd mix who is about six years old, from the Orange County Humane Society on Monday, July 17, 2006 (see his picture on the right). Lisa's goal is to help these "homeless" dogs find loving homes and to get people to volunteer and donate toys and towels that are much needed. If you are interested in donating items, volunteering, and/or adopting, please contact her at (949) 631-4065. For a list of Orange County shelters nearest you, please visit HCA Animal Care Services at www.ocpetinfo.com/animalshelterlist.htm. Below are additional dog(s) that have been rescued from shelters:

It started with a simple question: Why can't I bring my dog to the bar? And has developed into the hottest, new nighttime event. Starting as a small vision and developing into luxurious reality. The newest underground place to be seen is SkyBark. |
Although Los Angeles is the birthplace of SkyBark, it is not the only location for it. SkyBark is spreading nationwide. In September 2006, look for SkyBark Las Vegas and in August 2006 SkyBark will start up its East Coast division with a bang in Boston, Massachusetts.
