I'm Alison, a thirty-something, married, mother of two girls, with a passion for animals of all kinds.  My family adopted our goofy, lovable dog {Charlie} from a local shelter.  It breaks my heart to know there are countless animals out there being mistreated {to say the least} and I would love more than anything to help even one animal find a loving forever home.  Think adoption first.  Find a local animal shelter or animal rescue... don't buy your next pet... rescue him/her!
