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.

Check out one of our latest Dolly’s Dream Dogs… 1-year-old, 84-pound Ace (ID 635206) who is ready to have fun with you.

Meet Dora. We think she probably got her name because of her heart of gold. 

Sweet Jack (ID A632363) is 4 years old, 53 pounds and looking for a family to call his own. He is an active fellow who loves to be with people. Based on his loving personality, he might make a great walking partner.

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. 

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. Nova is described as being very calm and extremely loving. He is a big cuddle bug who likes to play fetch. Can you open up your heart and home to him?
