Dogma Bakery makes the best cookies and cakes for puppies! They also make Doggie Ice Cream, my favorite is the cheese flavor.
Speaking of treats… these are my absolute favorite, you can buy these at Dogma too, my mom says they’re good for me cause they’re all natural, and better for the chickens too. (They make treats for cats too- I snuck a few from my brother, and loved them!)
Hi! I’m Lexie. I’m 100% pure dog, even if I act like a cat sometimes, and ok, some of my friends think I look like a fox, but trust me, I’m a dog. I’m the professional barker here at TFAW, you might have heard me barking at you, or at someone else over the phone, or my favorite- the UPS people! But other times I’m just under the desk taking a snooze. That’s all for now- and you’ll hear more from me later! <3 Lexington
Hi there! My name’s Bumblebee and I’m new to the office. I have many jobs here at TFAW, and I take them all very seriously. You may have met me doing my most important job- evaluating all incoming people and making sure they’re aware that I’m watching their every move. Many of my best friends refer to me as the official police dog because I always ensure everyone (humans and dogs alike!) are behaving themselves. However, just like my new friend Lexie, I spend most of my time snoozing at my mom’s feet or playing with the toys in the office. Puppy kisses, Bumblebee

Due to the recent oil disaster in the Gulf Coast, many pets are finding themselves displaced with economically stricken owners unable to provide continued adequate care. In this time of need, animal shelters are especially hopeful for finding loving homes for the many dogs that enter their doors. The article below was recently published by the Washington Post providing information on where to adopt some of these pets in need that have been transported to the DC metro area.
GAITHERSBURG, Md. - More than two dozen dogs from the Gulf Coast arrived at the Humane Society of the United States in Gaithersburg on Wednesday, looking for new homes.
After a 20-hour drive, Miss Tee and other lab puppies are now almost a thousand miles from their former home in St Bernard Parish, Lousiana. “They’re sort of these unseen victims of something like this oil spill, where people just can’t care for them anymore,” said Betsy McFarland, the senior director of Companion Animals.
Thanks to what has become the nation’s worst environmental disaster, many people in the Gulf region are without work and giving up their pets. Some local animal shelters are at five times capacity. Among the dogs brought to Maryland include three Shih Tzus dropped off at a Louisiana shelter by an out-of-work fisherman.
“They’re crowded, you could see that they were crowded, someone had just dropped off a dog,” said the Humane Society’s Sarah Barnett. The Loudoun County Animal Shelter is taking in a third of the pups, hoping — after a quick check up — each of them will find a loving home.
Time for a Walk had a great turn out at the 2010 Walk for the Animals, and we were able to raise $4,375 (and still counting), which made us the top fund-raising team! Our walker extraordinaire, Nancy Bush, won a one hundred dollar prize for being the team’s top fundraiser, generating nearly $700. A tip of the hat, also, to Kim H, who raised the most of all our clients, securing the prize of one hundred dollars toward services at Time for a Walk. And, lastly, congratulations to B. Mangan, who won the Time for a Walk raffle, which included a cornucopia of tasty treats and fun toys, as well as $50 of our services.
Thank you to all sixteen employees and clients who participated, and thank you to all who donated; we’re already looking forward to next year’s event.
we’re lucky to have caught these cuties in action!
