I HAD THE BEST DAY AT ANIMAL HAVEN WITH @THEDOGIST AND LOVE THY BEAST

Animal Haven (and that it is)! I spent the afternoon with Tiffany Lacey, the director of the shelter, and was undone by its pristine cages and the friendly staff.  What a job!  Not sure I could do it myself everyday but KUDOS to Tiffany.  Pictured here are a FEW of the dogs currently up for adoption and I hope @thedogist and I did them justice.  I have a special place in my heart for Barney as I know you will to! Please consider bringing one of these beauties home today.

MR.OLLIE PANTS, HAVE YOU EVER?

We rescued Ollie from the North Central Animal Shelter In Los Angeles, CA.  He was brought in as a stray at the estimated age of 3/4months.  When we met him, he simply walked over to the front of his cage and gently kissed our hands, and we knew we couldn't leave without him.
Shy and a bit skittish as a puppy, Ollie has blossomed into a wonderful adventurer and companion.

I found these guys, Bone & Rag, on Instagram; I love their product and I know I am only showing their beds (great photos!), but they also do a hell of a lead, some great collars and bowls to boot!

AMY TURNER LOVES DOLLY PARTON

My girlfriend, Sammy, and I were not sure if we were ready for a new dog after the death of our beloved dog, Edith Piaf. We went to an adoption fair from a wonderful rescue group in LA called Dogs Without Borders. We were very sad, and not sure if we were ready to bring another animal into our world… until we saw her.

JANE LARKWORTHY HAS A FASHION HOUND

“I think I’m an old soul,” muses Remy Lark-bassi, a five year-old black Standard Poodle. “I’m so comfortable in vintage pieces—especially capes and berets and head scarves—that I really think I must have been a part of Coco’s  or Cristobal’s or Christian’s posse in a past life.” Such lofty claims could only come from a Standard, though this Standard is anything but lofty

I AM MAX AND THE GUY BEHIND ME IS VINCENT FLOURET

"My name is Max! I'm a 2 year old Golden Retriever and Labrador mix. My dad tells people that I'm a "Goldbrador" - I don't know what that means but it sounds chic, I love it! My schedule is quiet busy: walking, playing, eating, napping, smiling, and posing most of the time. Speaking about posing, my day job, as a pre-light model and studio assistant, is to keep everybody happy on dad's set. Aside from that, I try hard to push the limits, to get what I want from everybody (i.e. sad looks, overt tenderness when sitting next to the pizza, those kind of things...). Indeed, one day I might quit my day job to become an actor! We'll see!"

BROOKE ASTOR'S DOG, GIRLSY, JUST RECENTLY WENT TO DOGGIE HEAVEN

William Waldron and I were lucky enough to photograph Brooke Astor for House and Garden magazine in the late 1980's at her home, "Holly Hill", in Briarcliff Manor, NY.  My friend Bob Morris just informed me that Astor's last doggie heir, Girlsy, recently died at the ripe old age of 21 which is really 147 years old in dog years - although the breed is known for its longevity. Iris Love, who raises champion dachshunds in VT, cared for Girlsy after Mrs. Astor passed away in 2007.  She said she was the only dachshund in the house who refused to use the doggy door.  Well done, Mrs. Astor!
