Wriggly, happy and loving, Anya will make a terrific best friend.
At just over 14 pounds, Anya isn't much bigger than a bunny, and she definitely behaves like she'd be scared of one. This is fitting, because as fans of the television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer know, Anya was the name of the beautiful, blonde "vengeance demon" who learns what it means to become human again, discovers kindness and love, and yet harbors a phobia of rabbits. The staff at the Baltimore County Animal Shelter were too busy laughing at the comparison to confirm whether that's how the canine Anya got her name. But we're sticking with it. Anya is a mix between a dachshund and a miniature pinscer, retaining the black-and-tan coloration of the latter. She is about 5 years old, spayed, and desperately enthusiasitc about making …

See what it costs to protect your pet.
Microchipping is a common practice offered by many veterinarians, shelters, kennels, breeders and rescue organizations. But it's scarily high-tech to some of us, who still think that using a pooper-scooper with a long handle is the height of pet-care technology. But microchipping is fast, painless, and can easily help recover a lost pet. What’s microchipping? It’s the injection of a tiny implant, about the size of a grain of rice, under a pet's skin, usually around the back of its neck and between its shoulder blades. The microchip uses radio frequency to identify the animal’s information when swiped with a scanner, so a pet can be quickly returned to its owner. Dogs and cats are the most common household pets to be microchipped, but pet …

Timonium Elementary teacher has saved 25 horses.
Betty McCue has a very busy day between caring for kids and animals. She starts at 5 a.m., and an hour later she’s feeding and pasturing her 14 Thoroughbreds at a barn in White Hall, MD. Two hours and 18 miles later, she’s dressed, showered, and saying the morning Pledge of Allegiance with 24 second graders at Timonium Elementary School, where she is a teacher. At the end of the school day, she does the long drive back up to White Hall to care for her horses until evening. The good part about this evening shift is McCue is rarely alone—students from Timonium Elementary and Ridgely Middle often head up to the barn with her, to get some time with the horses that they too have come to love. McCue teaches the students all the ins and outs of …

Come check out the animals available for adoption every Saturday at PETCO's 1719 York Road location.
PETCO is so busy on a Saturday that you may have to do the unthinkable and park next door in Best Buy’s lot. Sure, there are plenty of customers shopping for their dog leashes, kitty litter, rabbit pellets and fresh crickets for their lizards, but many people show up for the adoption event. PETCO hosts dogs and cats from Pet Rescue of Maryland every Saturday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Scores of local folks turn out to meet the animals searching for a home. Some are visiting just for fun. Some are waiting to meet that one special animal that caught their eye on the rescue’s website. Shirley and John Hines of Reisterstown came just to say hello to the rescue’s volunteers. The couple adopted Jeffrey, a little white mixed-breed dog, a few months …
