Milky, age 11 months
Golden Retriever/Chow mix
Queensloch Drive
Hi. My name is Milky. I guess my dad likes Milky Way candy bars. My siblings and I were rescued, and I stayed in a foster home until I charmed 5-year-old Morgan into taking me home with her. The doctor said I would be a little more than 40 pounds when …

People see our curly fur coats and fall in love instantly. We’re lucky that the three of us – siblings born a year ago in Cleveland, Texas – were adopted by loving families living right here in Bellaire.

Onni, age 1 1/2
Cockapoo/Poodle mix
Wedgewood Drive
My name means “good luck” and “happiness” in Finnish, and I think my name pretty much says it all. I was lucky to be rescued last year from the Poodle Rescue Center, and I do, indeed, bring happiness to my family. I was skinny, hungry and covered with parasites when I was found. I’m …

A year ago, I delivered nine precious puppies. I was one proud mama, keeping my pups close to me in an inflatable swimming pool lined with hay and soft blankies. I became very ill while nursing, and my pups had to be fed by hand until they were adopted by several local …

While working on a story about when to put your pet to sleep, staff writer Cheryl Laird ran across Mary Lippman, a 51-year-old homemaker, kid schlepper and dog runner. Mary’s email made us laugh and cry. We just had to share it (edited only for space) with you:
“We have always been saddened by the loss of a pet (although …

Our dog Rudy lay sprawled on the exam table. It had taken both the veterinarian and an assistant to lift him. He was arthritic and awkward.
His brindle-striped coat was shedding, and he was panting, as usual. He turned toward my voice as if to listen, even though he couldn’t see me. The diabetes that required twice-daily insulin shots had …
