From the Pulaski County Humane Society:

This is Dude, a ine-year-old hound mix who has been at the shelter since last June. He's very friendly and loves people and other dogs. He's very smart, and we know he will be very easy to house train. He's walked several times a day at the shelter and knows what he's supposed to do!

For information on how to adopt Dude, visit warmhearts.org or call (501) 227-6166.

One of the brightest moments of my professional life at Today's THV was when Joey The Garden Cat found his way into the Weather Garden. It didn't take long to recognize he was a show stealer with his adorable antics, photogenic features and commanding attitude.

The introduction of Facebook helped launch his popularity…not only in Arkansas but all over the world. And then when Animal Planet featured him in a segment of "Must Love Cats" -- well, Joey's appeal became electric and his fans demanded more.

So, as his primary caretaker I took on the role of Momma/Agent and what a treat it is to hear from and interact with his fans.

Are you prepared? As I mentioned, a pet is a long-term responsibility. In addition to love, a commitment of both time and finances is required. Are you ready for potty training? Monthly puppy/kitten vaccin
