Dear Cathy; Our rescue Jack Russell pup “found us” through a humane shelter on the same day I tested positive for COVID two years ago. We had a few hard weeks, but Barkley fit right in with our other dog and has been the typical fun, high-energy guy we thought we were bringing home.

But a few months later, we began to get concerned. At what...Read more
