dogs

There are alarming reports of a disease that is fatal for dogs that is spreading in Missouri and already several animals have had to be put down as a result.

Intense heat in Missouri unexpectedly took the life of a Missouri police dog this week after the squad car he was in had the air conditioning fail according to a police department statement.

I don't understand why anyone would be heartless enough to do this. Statistics are showing that dog thefts in Illinois are skyrocketing and there's no good reason why.

There are few dog species more intelligent and fun than huskies. One good boy in Hannibal proves that point as he's currently being cared for by the Northeast Missouri Humane Society, but he really needs a forever home soon.

I would like to have been in the room when this idea was first presented. A place to take your dog where you can also sample tasty brews. That is how the concept of a dog bar was born and now USA Today readers say the best ones in America are in Missouri.

She's a good girl and she would love it if you have a place for her in your home. Her name is Ethel and this loving dog is being cared for at the Northeast Missouri Humane Society in Hannibal, but she needs a home now.

The Marin-Sonoma County Fair in Petaluma, California holds an annual World's Ugliest Dog Contest where owners showoff their unique looking dogs.

It took three boatloads to safely bring all the pups to shore.

This little girl needs a home as soon as possible and maybe that home is yours. She's a 4-month-old dog being cared for by the Northeast Missouri Humane Society that is apparently a canine kissing machine for those that love her.

An updated video shows there's more to this awkward encounter.
