My name is Kathy Blackman and I am the Founder and President of Sophie's Circle. One husky (Sophie photographed right) changed my life and that is why I started Sophie's Circle. Many dogs have since been rescued in her honor. Read her story below.
Learn MoreMax (formerly known as Zeak) was rescued by Jen from a shelter in Orlando. I'm pretty sure Max would not have made it out of there without Sophie's Circle. A black pitbull with one blind eye is not the "cute" family pet everyone is looking for...but, the volunteers at Sophie's Circle have a knack for finding and saving the sweet souls that deserve a second chance.
This group is amazing! I’m blessed to work with Jen at her paying job and I watch her work tirelessly as her phone never stops. These women stop at nothing to save as many as they possibly can and provide the best vet care for each one they take responsibility for. It is truely amazing to witness and be a small part of. Love them!!!
Love this rescue! Between myself, my mom and my best friend; we have rescued 3 dogs from Sophies (Balto the husky, Baylee the pekingese and Shelby the shih tzu and they are absolutely wonderful!! Baylee and Balto are the best of friends. Thank you for allowing us to rescue such wonderful fur babies!
Summertime is the best time for dogs to get outside with their favorite two and four-legged friends and have a blast showcasing their talents for the high reward of praise and attention - well, maybe a few treats here and there too. Keep your dog entertained and active for hours with these top summer picks we know he or she is going to love!
After making the decision to adopt an adorable furbaby for yourself, you've completed the first step in a long journey of caring for your loving companion. Now, there are new decisions to make, such as whether your dog will live outdoors or inside with the family as well as what he or she will require to stay healthy in whichever living environment you choose. But, before making your plans, be sure to include these important factors.
Since the number of reported mental health issues are on the rise, it is no surprise that adopting and training emotional support dogs to assist with such needs as anxiety, stress, and depression is more popular than ever before. This is because the affection and companionship provided by emotional support animals (ESAs) can produce an extensive array of therapeutic benefits. But, before you adopt an ESA, keep these few important traits in mind to help you find the best fit for your mental health needs.
We all know that dogs make loyal and faithful summer companions for those long shady hikes, early morning runs when no one else in the household is awake, or movie nights when you need a friend to share an oversized popcorn. But, adopting a furry friend over the dog days of summer can also improve your life in many other ways.
