Pet of the Week

Missy and Leviya are two good friends who are complete opposites. Missy, a brindle Aussie mix, is shy but sweet. She is a little wary of new people and can close up pretty fast around sudden movements or loud noises. However, if you sit down with her and take the time to slowly introduce yourself to her, she is very loving. At first when you start petting her, she might seem scared or uncomforta...

Marson is a senior guy who's had a rough time. This lovable guy was found by Humane Society personnel after having wandered the streets for some time. As a result, his fur was terribly matted, he was emaciated, and he was very terrified. The workers at the shelter did their best to fix him up, but it seems that only time will fully heal him. Marson was extra scared when he first arrived at the ...

"HI I'M MAMA I WANT TO BE YOUR BEST FRIEND COME AND PLAY WITH ME AND HUG ME I LOVE YOU ALREADY!!!!!" That's what Mama's probably thinking at any given moment. This 8-year-old mutt is an adorable lovebug. She may seem shy at first glance, but once you really meet her you'll see that she is energetic and bouncy and always ready to play. However, what Mama really loves more than anything is to be...

Sandy is a two-year-old Lab mix at the BGWC Humane Society who has a big, big heart. When I walked by her cage at the Humane Society this weekend, she sat and looked out from between the bars with the saddest eyes. Of course, when we took her out for a walk, she immediately perked up and ran around sniffing all of the new flowers and grass. Even more than the outdoors, however, Sandy loves being h...

Farlo is a good-spirited guy who just needs a little TLC. This 1-year-old Flat-coated Retriever mix is currently at the BGWC Humane Society after spending some time as a stray. As a result, he's a little shocked by everything he sees. Though he wants to make friends with everybody and greets new people with enthusiasm, he gets scared when new dogs approach him, even if they're tiny little Chihuahuas...

Sampson looks tough on the outside, but he's a real sweetheart on the inside. This 3-year-old Bulldog/Pit Bull mix is currently at the BGWC Humane Society looking for a new home, but surely he'll find one soon. Though he's very serious and stoic most of the time, making him look pretty intimidating, he's actually very gentle. He is a big dog and is pretty much all bone and muscle, so he's very strong, but he...

Homer is a 12-year-old Shetland mix at the BGWC Humane Society, and he is just the sweetest dog you'll ever see. He came to the Humane Society as a stray and so his fur is very matted and he's very skinny. Because of this, and the fact that he is older and a little shy, he has to move very slowly. However, he is super affectionate and he loves to give people kisses and be pet. He is even more ado...

A Pet of the Week feature on Radar the Weather Dog is long overdue. At over 10 years old, this Border Collie is the mascot of the local weather and news station WNKY, and has been voted Best Local TV Personality Bowling Green for 7 years! However, Radar hasn't always been a legend. When he was just a puppy, he certainly would never have dreamed that he would be a local celebrity, loved by all ...

Forest is a 2 year old Doberman mix at the BGWC Humane Society. Though he's a big dog, he's got a little puppy's heart. Forest is strong and athletic like a purebred Doberman, but his floppy ears and long tail set him apart from first glance. He is very energetic and playful, though he knows not to be too rough, and he loves to play-wrestle and play tug-of-war. He also gets along great with other ...
