Please check out Jean Ellen Whatley's new book about an incredible bond that formed after Jean rescued Libby and took a road trip across America.

- We all know that giving a permanent home to a rescue dog can change the dog's life forever. But, in Jean Ellen Whatley's new memoir, Off the Leash,

you just might wonder, who rescued who? Whatley chronicles how her rescue hound Libby, inspired her to quit her job, pack her car and take a road trip across America to reclaim her life.

"It ain't the money, the possibilities of the future or even the idea that tomorrow can be better; it's the belief that right now is the time to live."Paul Friswold - Riverfront Times

This is a tale of bonding of the highest order and a great Christmas read for anyone who dreams of freedom. Off the Leash is available on Amazon.com or through your local bookseller.

Happy Tails

We wasted too, too many hours searching the internet for the perfect purebred. Then, in May of 2007, we finally came to our senses and decided to check out the dogs available for adoption at BARC.
