Denise has always shared great information with us about pet first aid and she seems to always think of helpful items that you might not think of on your own! Denise has trained with seven NATIONAL organizations on animal saving skills and is inviting all of us to take part in the LARGEST GATHERING EVER OF HUMANS LEARNING ANIMAL LIFE SAVING TECHNIQUES at PAWSTRONOMICAL.com Her sunnydogink.com is partnering with Volunteers of the Burbank Animal Shelter to bring this important event to you!

PET SHELTER OF THE WEEK

Andi Scott from REDBUD Cavaliers in Oklahoma 

REDBUD Champion Cavalier King Charles Spaniels

I met Andi briefly at Westminster and since Joe had grown so fond of Cavaliers I thought this would be a great segment to talk to her and get some details on the breed and also some rescue shelter information for adoption! Andi is quite an expert on the breed and knows pretty much everything to look out for when adopting one of these cute little pups. She also mentioned the two national organizations which are the best place to inquire about local shelters in your area for this breed. LuckyStar Cavalier Rescue and Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club – USA. Check out her site and the great rescue sites also! Andi is showing in Texas this weekend. Best of luck and hope you bring home a Win or two!
