We should not accommodate the bigotries of straight and cis people

(SS) The one thing that coronavirus hasn’t managed to shut down is outings with our dogs.

(AP) When the shooter claimed to have explosives during the Pulse nightclub shooting rampage in June, two bomb-sniffing dogs got a "positive hit'' on his vehicle outside the gay bar.

I grew up and lived all my life without a pet. Actually for about two weeks, one summer eons ago, we had a dog. It’s a memory that could fit in a Fellini movie. “Amarcord” comes to mind.

After having a home for five years, my owners got divorced and no one wanted me in the end.

Hi everyone, I’m Stan (ID 639517) the Man. I’m 4 years old and 64 pounds of fun.

I'm Tyson. My family lost their home and now I need to find another family to love. I'm good with kids, but I'm selective about my doggie friends, so a meet and greet would be recommended. A feline-free home would be best for me, since I like to chase them. I'm potty-trained and ready to find some fun folks who will love me forever. 

If you’re looking to make a difference in the life of a homeless pet who really wants a chance to be part of a family, stop by the Humane Society of Broward County and meet Waylon (ID 636017).

Adorable and sweet, that is the best way to describe Lebbil (ID 567503).  This handsome fellow is a 3 year young, long-haired fellow who is also a Hemmingway which means he has extra toes on his front feet.  Sadly the landlord said “no pets” so now Lebbil has to fi nd another family to love… could it be you?  He gets along with other pets and likes kids 5 and up.

After having a family for 10 years, Nova (ID 567577) now is in search of a new home. This fellow is a 56 pound Labrador retriever mix who gets along with people of all ages and other pets.
