Thank you for visiting! Please sit here by the crackling fire, enjoy a cup of tea, snuggle with your favorite furry friend and stay a while. Pet Home Magazine is very a special bi-monthly publication. Not only does it cater to the health/decor-conscious pet lover, it helps to save lives with a percentage of net proceeds donated to the Animal Miracle Foundation. Pet Home gives you fresh ideas, inspiring stories, whimsical crafts and holiday projects that you can do by yourself or with your kids in honor of your pets. We'll show you how-to tips on everything from installing an outdoor dog shower to securing your pets properly in the car. Our health section will help to quell those allergies for both you and your pet and teach you proper pet care and behavior advice by top experts.

From the stable to the barn, we'll talk about the emotional health of horses and farm animals, helping you to learn just what they need in regards to nutrition, exercise and environment for all seasons. We've got cooking for your pets with some of the nation's greatest chefs and even feature holiday dinners that your dogs and cats can enjoy with you! Don't forget the heroes! Every year we'll award a hero pet or hero person that has made a difference in the life of another. We'll feature stories of amazing and heartfelt animal rescues and life beyond abuse. Contests galore will be going on at all times with some really terrific prizes and we'll even have a section for kids and pets, as well as a section to memorialize your babies that have crossed the Rainbow bridge - so keep that Kleenex™ handy.

My life has been devoted to saving those who have no voice - hence, Pet Home's biggest focus is animal rescue. Many pets are abandoned, neglected and abused because of a lack of education about how to properly care for and live with them in peace and harmony. Often, people bring pets into their homes without proper research of the species or breed, resulting in problems that occur from a breakdown of the relationship - ultimately ending, many times in the death of the pet as a condition of over-crowding at animal shelters and rescue facilities. There are many pet owners who relinquish their pets simply because they shed their fur on furniture, dig in the garden, climb the curtains and scatter feathers and bird seed onto the floor.

My goal with Pet Home Magazine is to help prevent you from abandoning your pets by teaching you how fun and easy it can be to share your life with them. There are so many simple and easy ways to co-exist with animals of all kinds and still have a beautiful, stylish, clean smelling home. Sharing our hearts and homes with our pets should be fun and life enhancing - not stressful. Your family and friends may not always treat your home or what's in it, with concern or care...but you don't just send them away! Ok, so I know at times you may want to, but when it comes down to it, a pet deserves your love and commitment just as much as your family does. You've chosen to bring them into your home and must take responsibility for them. You cannot just cast them away like an old sofa. All you need is a fun and enlightening resource to continuously teach and encourage you along the path of your journey through life with your pets. You need a resource you can count on to deliver just what you need. I want Pet Home to be that resource for you." ~

Warm wags and wishes,
