Wynn With Dogs- Healthy & Happy Dogs - Pets & Animals on Pet Life Radio (PetLifeRadio.com‪)‬ Raquel Wynn

Today's show should inspire you dog lover's to spread the word about pet rescue and adoption! There are over 7 million shelter/rescue pets ready to be adopted each year, unfortunately almost half of them are put to death. That's over 3 million pets. Join me as I speak with Janice Brown, founder of Tails Magazine, and the force behind "Letters for Pets", a letter-writing initiative asking President Obama to issue a presidential proclamation declaring April 30th National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day.



Whether you want a specific breed or a mutt-mix, a puppy or an adult, I guarantee the right adoptable dog is out there for you. Take the time to impact and shift our current perspective on pets and get involved in this amazing campaign. Want more education on the subject (and many others)?

Join me today as i speak with Barbara Techel. Barbara is proud mom to Frankie, and award-winning author of the Frankie the Walk ‘N Roll Dog book series. Frankie suffers from a common disease in dachshunds called, Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD). After Frankie got fitted with a custom wheelchair, Barbara realized the beautiful opportunity she had to educate others on animals living quality lives even if disabled, as well as help others face their challenges with a positive attitude. And so came about the delightful Frankie book series.



You will truly be inspired by all the joy Frankie and his family are bringing to hearts everywhere. Listen in as we discuss dogs with disabilities and the misconceptions that they are not fully active, involved, happy hounds. The choice is yours to win with dogs!

Terriers are known busy bodies in the dog world. Join me as i speak with Susan Stoltz, author of the Sharkey dog series, about the fabulous adventures of her fiesty terrier Sharkey. We all know we can learn so much from our pups, Susan and Sharkey aim to present these learning moments to children with their wonderful book series. The book series came about after a dreadful experience - Sharkey was victim of a pharmacist overdose and nearly lost her life. After a battle with the court system, including all that goes with that, notably lawyers and insurance companies, Susan decided to put Sharkey's talents to good use helping dogs in need. A percentage of the profits of Sharkey's books are donated to selected animal shelters.

In addition, get some insight on how to awesome shelter dogs are, and how important it is to adopt a healthy lifestyle approach for your pup. Knowledge is power - get involved and you too can win with dogs!!
