Read MoreThe coronavirus pandemic has caused many animal shelters and rescues to seek out volunteers to open their homes and foster or adopt a furry friend. While taking care of a precious pooch is a complete joy, it is still a selfless act, no matter the circumstance, but especially now when everything feels uncertain.

Read MoreWith growing concern regarding the coronavirus, there can be a spread of misinformation. Not only can this negatively affect you, it actually can put precious pups at risk. On February 28th, it was announced by the Hong Kong Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department that a male Pomeranian has tested positive for the virus. The dog, however, appears to be in good health but can not be removed from quarantine until samples from “its nose and mouth” read negative. With all of the fear and misinformation out there, Woof Republic consulted with Dr. Pol one of America’s favorite veterinarian about important realities to keep in mind about Coronavirus and your dog.

If you haven’t met Howard the Dog, he is one of the most unique dogs I’ve ever met. He is the embodiment of Adopt Don’t Shop and what being a rescue dog means, in my opinion. He is a dog who is no taller than a basset hound but is 60 pounds of PURE MUSCLE. Howard took the esteemed honor of winning The American Dog Rescue Show this year which was hosted by The Hallmark Channel. In honor of today, May 20th being National Rescue Dog Day we thought it would be fun to work with Embark Vet who has the premier Doggy DNA Tests. Think 23 and Me but for canines. Many times with rescue dogs there is little to no information about the dog their back story, lineage, and the rescue group has to take the best guess as the breed from what they know.
