2012 FOOD DRIVE

Our 4th annual pet food drive is officially kicked off. When you stop by Paws of Distinction, New Paltz Agway, Ireland Corners Natural Pet Center, Sue's Zoo or Bark Place to get your pet supplies, please consider dropping an extra bag or some cans of pet food into the red bucket. 100% of it will be placed on local pantry shelves.( Family of New Paltz & St. Josephs) so that our less fortunate neighbors can continue to feed their pets during the holiday season and NOT place them into the shelter.

2010 1st Annual Woof & Wine at Benmarl Winery

The cause for these dogs in need was amazing in itself-the people that do the rescue work-even more amazing!

 People that think a pitbull is just a feroucious beast haven't had the opportunity to meet the great and loving animals that they can be. I recommend visiting Smiling Pit or any other rescue society to really get to know the breed before you judge them. Pits can make amazing family pets!

2010 Ulster homeshow @ Mac Fitness

Why have a dog trainer at a homeshow?

Because..... If you have a dog in your home, it needs training!
