In a room inside a North Hollywood warehouse, dozens of pets are ready for their owners to take them home.Boots, a young black-and-white domestic shorthair cat, lies on his back, pawing playfully at the air. A trio of red, yellow and green parrots and cockatiels sit on wooden perches, oblivious to the piercing stare of a blue-eyed feline a few feet away. Princess, a senior Chihuahua, rests with her eyes closed and body curled into a tight cocoon, as a frenetic hamster named Ponby stands upright, his eyes bulging. There’s a naked guinea pig, a giant red macaw and an…

(That covers more AKC breeds than any dog DNA kit we researched.) Comparatively, Embark includes 90%, and DNA My…

More puppies bred with the best traits for service dogs will help more disabled adults, children and veterans, officials said. There aren’t enough service dogs for the 60 million people in the U.S. living with a disability, according to Canine Companions for Independence CEO Paige Mazzoni. With the groundbreaking of a new canine health and wellness center, Canine Companions, a nationwide nonprofit organization based in Santa Rosa that breeds and trains service dogs, is working to close that gap. “It’s all about more puppies,” said Mazzoni, who hosted the groundbreaking Friday at the organization’s Dutton Avenue campus. “We are groundbreaking…

As heartbreaking as the number of dogs and puppies waiting for forever homes in shelters is, there is a place in the world for ethical breeding of dogs to keep certain breeds from facing extinction.

Watching Australian cattle dogs fly over jumps and border collies sprint through tunnels gave veterinary student Natalia Sytch a greater appreciation for purebred dogs and their abilities. “Currently it’s popular for people to go adopt dogs from shelters, and that needs to happen,” said Sytch, a second-year student in the College of Veterinary Medicine who participated in the 36th annual Wine Country Circuit Dog Show, held Sept. 29 to Oct. 1 at Sampson State Park in Romulus, New York. “But there’s kind of a lack of appreciation for purebred dogs,” Sytch said. “It’s really impressive to see how the animals…

A photo of two dogs sitting on passenger seats on a Sydney light rail service has ignited a heated debate online, with many labelling the act as “entitled.” The image, posted to Reddit, shows two small dogs seated next to their owners, who are holding onto their leashes. “Typical entitled dog owners flouting public transport rules,” the original poster wrote. The comment section quickly filled with Sydneysiders divided over both the etiquette and legality of the situation. One remarked, “Great, now those dogs have their dirty butts rubbing all over the seats. Gross.” Another added: “I love dogs and have…

On page 69, Roberts rails against the Swampoodle dog park in Washington, D.C., for having too much room for dogs to play and not enough for children, blaming this on “the antifamily culture shaping legislation, regulation, and enforcement throughout our sprawling government.” Many of these comments echo anti-choice positions taken by Project 2025 and its partner organizations. The Project 2025 policy book, titled Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, recommends a potential Trump-Vance administration to attack reproductive rights from several angles, including by removing the term “abortion” from all federal laws and regulations, reversing abortion pill approval, punishing providers by…

A therapy animal could be involved in a wide range of therapies. Examples include equine therapy for kids with anxiety and canine therapy for childhood trauma.The therapy animal might simply be in the session to offer comfort. Or, it may take a more active role, like when a therapy client interacts with the animal by grooming it or walking with it.2.

There are currently over 40 different types of Poodle mixes—or doodles, as they’re lovingly called. These dogs are a mix of Poodles and other purebreds, like pugs, Labradors, or Cocker Spaniels. Poodles come in three standard sizes—everything from mini Goldendoodles to the standard Cockapoo and the larger Newfypoo. The kid- and dog-friendly breed has increased in popularity since the 1980s, and it’s not a wonder why. “Doodles are great pups,” says Colleen Demling, dog behaviorist at Dogtopia. “They shed less and have less dander than the breed that the Poodle is crossed with.” Their personalities also make them ideal companions.…
