In a Nutshell

Pongo came into my life in May, 2002.  Our life together began in Washington, DC where we lived in an apartment.  I would learn many lessons from Pongo overtime, but the first one he taught me was about commitment to owning a dog.  In the process, I learned that dogs need a lot more exercise than most think, and that some of that exercise needs to be off-leash, moving at their own pace, running and playing with other dogs.   By trying to do what it would take to keep Pongo healthy and happy, and by trying to understand and heal his anxiety, I ultimately healed my own.   

I am currently writing a book titled Rescuing Pongo.  This is his story – the story of one dog who escapes being euthanized in America’s overrun city shelters - a dog no one wanted because he had “too much energy.”  Please follow the blog as we embark on our journey of finding a publisher and garnering interest in our story.
