My dog, Frou Frou, (he’s a Doberman, it’s a long story) has suddenly, like in the last week or so, developed bad breath – really stinky, disgusting bad breath. It’s not like he eats garbage or anything, but suddenly it’s more than I can stand just to let him sit on the couch with me. What should I do?
Autumn was rescued after three years of fending for herself with the help of an elderly couple who kept her fed. When they had to leave for assisted living, some kind-hearted neighbors called us for help and we took her in. That’s when we found that she has an apparently chronic “sneezing” issue. She has been medicated, checked for polyps, but she still sneezes and snorts a bit, you know like a lot of humans with allergies.
Mia and Maverick are an inseparable pair. Mia is more outgoing with people and Maverick will take more time to warm up but he will come around. They are about one and half years old, friendly, quiet, and loving. They like to cuddle together and they both like to be petted and shown love.

Journey is a people cat – old people, young people, little people, big people – she loves them all. Dogs barely exist for her.
I just looked at the weather prediction for the next couple of weeks and it’s not going above 30 degrees for days. Goofy, my Husky mix, couldn’t be happier. But Bubba, my little Pitbull mix, is crossing his legs and begging me to just this once to not make him go outside to do his business. He keeps eyeing the cat’s litter box as if he’s thinking, “That’s not such a bad idea.”
Mellie is a sweet and pretty gray tuxedo female, 2 to 3 years old. She was abandoned by her owner and left to fend for herself outside. Her foster mom took pity on her when the weather started to turn bad and you can see that she has made herself right at home!
Ben Hur is a big, devilishly handsome boy, sort of like his namesake, don’t you think? Unlike his namesake, however, he is a true pussy cat who loves laps and backscratching. He may be skittish at first and will probably require some time to adjust to you. It took his foster mom all summer to make friends with him. They are BFFs now!
Heidi came to us as a “young mother,” a sad situation that plays out too many times here in Oswego County. Her babies all found wonderful homes. But Heidi is still in need of a home of her own. She is a sweet girl, friendly and playful, and used to other cats, dogs and kids.
