It's a Ruff, Ruff World

Milo, the fluff ball belongs to Anna

My name is Milo Schneiderman and I am a mini apricot golden doodle. My dad got me for mom's 28th birthday from Pittsburgh. I turned one on July 21st & am slowly growing out of my puppy stage. I love to swim, run, bark & my favorite is playing at the dog park. I currently attend a family manners puppy class on Saturdays to help me with my training. My best friend is Riley another mini doodle! I hope to meet you someday!

Mom, Lauren, is not a stage mom...

Hi!  My name is Brody Marinaro and I am a four year old Maltese.  I am only 4lbs, however, I sometimes think I am a fearless pit bull.  Not to sound conceited, but I am my family’s pride and joy.  I love to snuggle, give lots of kisses and be complimented on my good looks. My favorite time of day is morning because I get to eat my favorite snack, turkey!  When I am not playing or cuddling with my best friend Lauren, I am modeling part time.   

   

Nicole's "King"...

My name is Elvis Guena and I am a Bichon.  I am still running and playing with my best friend Roxy everyday, even at the old age 12… that 84 in dog years!  I love to run around in circles and sleep on my mom’s bed… even though she moved out now and left me with my uncle, and grandparents.  I love to play outside and roll around in the grass, even though it makes my white fur dirty, and I hate when I have to take a bath!
Ruff!

Tara celebrates Gia's 1st birthday

Woof!!  My name is Gia Cardaci and I am 3 years old.  I am a Pitbull that loves to cuddle (even though I am 90 lbs!) 

I enjoy walks in the park, running with my mom and hanging out on the front porch.  My favorite food is definitely Italian.  I love meatballs, sausage and homemade bread. I am just an all around happy dog!  WOOF!

Baby and Birdie cuddle when not in mom, Anne's, lap

Finally, I present to you our resident models, Baby and Birdie.  Baby is a two-year-old pit mix and grew up with Central Park as her backyard.  Birdie, however, has always known Brooklyn as her home.  Birdie is part American Pit Bull and Part Argentine Mastiff who sounds a little like an elephant when she tromps around the house.  She is still growing into her paws! And at just 10 months old, she now towers over her sister. Watch out Baby!

Both Pit Bull owners wanted to speak about the bad reputation their dogs have.  Baby and Birdie's mom says the best thing about this breed is "how sweet, loving and loyal they are.  It is great to see them play with kids and small dogs to prove to people that the threat is not what dogs to do people, but what the people do to dogs.  I hope my sweet girls can help people move beyond the prejudice that our society has against pit bulls."

And from all the dogs, "thank you for loving, petting and feeding us!  We will be waiting at the door when you get home!"
