On January 16th, 2008, Corky disappeared out of his yard on Wendleton Lane in Beavercreek, OH. His Dad was right there talking to a neighbor. One second he was there, the next second he was gone. Corky is a 3-4 years old and is a smaller sable and white male and half of his face is white. There have been many sightings of him, but we can't get there fast enough. If seen, please contact Precious Secrets Sheltie Rescue at 513-336-0559 or call Pam at 513-374-0558.

Question:

Hi! We purchased an 11 week old female lab mix 6 days ago. I am very concerned about her aggressive behavior. At my 1st vet visit with her yesterday the vet was also concerned. She growled and tried to bite him throughout the entire exam. She has also growled at me a few times when I have corrected her, and I feel I have the best bond with her. If she is this aggressive when she is a puppy, will it escalate as she matures? Do I have a personality beyond my control? Would she be better suited to a home without children? I stay at home with with my 3 young children (7, 4, and 1). We also have an 8 yr old Siberian Husky. I am so torn inside and I truly want the best for my family and the puppy. Can you please offer me some advice?

Welcome to the new site for Robyn's Nest. We have moved the site to a new web hosting company which has better performing servers (i.e. faster page loads).  We have kept the same features from the old site (including the photo gallery of Pets for Adoption and the discussion forums). The Foster Application form is now done electronically online, instead of having to print it out and mail it.

The new event calendar has the ability to have volunteers sign up to help. In order to do this (or to participate in the forums) you will need to create an account on this site. Even if you had an account on the previous site, you will need to re-register on this site, as we were not able to import the user information from the old system to the new system.

If you have any questions, please feel free to Contact Us .

We are starting a new feature called "Ask the Vet". If you would like to ask a question to a veterinarian, please click on Ask the Vet in the navigation menu.

We will select one question each month to get answered by an area veterinarian. The selected question and the vet's answer will be posted on our site each month.
