My name is Ali, I grew up in Ross, graduated from Bowling Green (ohio, not kentucky), absolutely love chocolate, enjoy playing tennis, and I have a strong love for dogs. It started early... at about 6 years old, just as any normal child who just wants a family dog, but it took me about 8 years to convince my parents that they wanted one as well. I used to clip out newspaper ads of dogs for sale and leave them on my parent's pillows, just as a little reminder in case they changed their minds. I would beg and beg and beg... until one day my family threw me a surprise party, saving the best present for last: A card telling me that I was getting a dog....finally! I went to the Humane Society and picked out our first family dog, Holly, a beautiful mutt. She sadly passed away my senior year in college, it took a long time to get over losing her, but I missed having a dog around so much!
Now age 24, I have my very own pup, Zumaya. He is a black lab, and just about 1 year old. I adopted him from the Humane Society up in Trenton Ohio. He has adjusted so easily into my life, and I couldn't imagine not having him around.

Dog Park of The Month Otto Armleder Memorial Park 5000 Wooster Pike Cincinnati, OH 45226
There is a great canopy for shade when you first walk in. It covers an open cement slab with benches that is fenced in until you are ready to let your dog run into either the small dog or large dog area.
Also there is plenty of drinking water to go around. There is a water fountain with a drinking bowl attached to the side. Just be careful during the really cold months of winter they have to turn off the water in case of freezing. Then you just have to bring your own.
Do you have a favorite dog park that you visit, and would like to share? Email me and it could be the featured Dog Park of The Month!
Great News! All $11,000 has been raised for Andrew to get his service dog. Up until 6/30/08, $3,000 had been raised, until an anonymous donor donated $8,000! Now they just need help raising travel money, money for a 10 night stay in a hotel in Xenia where they are picking up their dog, donations for 2 kennels, pet supplies and food.
If you would be interested in donating for any of the above items, please send an email to 4pawsforandrew@gmail.com
My name is Andrew Smith, and I'm almost your typical
nine-year-old-boy. My life revolves around football and baseball, and I
tend to get stuck on one thing for months at a time. I love the Bengals
and the Reds: I am, after all, from Cincinnati! I play on a football
team and a baseball team, but it's hard for me when I miss the ball or
the tackle, I just can't seem to deal with it. I've been mean to the
coaches even, but they usually cut me a break. I get upset when my
school work doesn't show 100% perfect and even more upset when my mom
asks me to stop playing and do something, even come and eat!
Wardens had ordered 39 dogs checked for flea and fly bites. They also
issued citations for extreme heat, insufficient bedding and floors
dogs' feet could fall through.
Apparently in Pennsylvania it is legal for an owner to put their dog down by shooting it. There is no reason for the owner of these dogs to do this. If you can't take care of the animals you have either give them up or recognize the consequences that you may face if your miscare is discovered. There is no reason for animals to live like this...they have no choice, but the owner sure does. If you didn't want these animals anymore, then give them up. Simple as that.
Adopt Nadine from Animal Friends Humane Society!

Nadine (5513095) is current on shots, licensed and microchipped. She is
a cute little girl that is 2 years old. Very calm, yet curious. She
gets excited when you show her the leash too.
