Zina, a stray picked up on a highway and due to be euthanized has a striking resemblance to Carmel. Interestingly, of the photos received that are emailed each day for rescue, no dog has ever appeared that resembles either her or Carmel.

Open Your Home, Open Your Heart

Too many dogs and cats — needing to be adopted — face euthanization.

It was the kind of October day that we always remember: crisp air and vivid leaves. It was also the day when I had to say good-bye to Carmel, my canine companion of 10 years. He died of cancer. Carmel was my joy and he made me laugh and I expected at least five more years of fun. Dogs ask only that we love them and just as they begin to truly understand our language, they are gone. It is terribly unfair.
