The things they do for the dog they love

For many of us, welcoming a pet into our lives can feel like living with a new child or a close friend.

The companionship and joy they bring into our lives gives us a strong desire to make sure they always have the best.

For a lucky dog named Reynard, that meant moving to the woods with endless land to explore.

​Sol Anzorena–multidisciplinary artist and musician–and her partner, Tom, had dreamed about the move for a while…

But once Reynard was part of their family, they knew they needed to make it happen.

The experience didn’t just change their lives… It inspired them to write a book about their dog to memorialize the journey.

Poll results!

Last week, we met jme, a woman who went from getting her first dog, to fostering hundreds, to starting her own rock-themed rescue. For her, it felt like a calling. For others, stopping at a couple fosters might be a more perfect fit. Either way, learning a dog needs help can challenge how far we’re willing, or able, to go…

If you met a pet who desperately needed help, how far would you go?
54.5% -🐾 I’d foster without much hesitation
​36.4% -🏠 I’d help, but only if I knew it fit my household
​9.1% -💝 I’d support rescues in other ways, not by bringing a pet home
​0% -⚖️ I care deeply, but I think people sometimes take on more than they can handle
