We love our dogs along the Alabama coast so celebrate their companionship on National Dog Day! In fact post their picture on our Facebook page and will will send the person with the most "Likes" on the picture a $25 gift certificate so you can buy them a party treat.


National Dog Day on August 26 encourages dog ownership of all breeds. The purpose of the National Dog Day Foundation is to rescue 10,000 dogs each year. If you are ever looking to adopt a dog consider visiting the Baldwin County Animal Shelter or the Baldwin Humane Society.


According to Rover . com, a dog’s personality and behavior is more important than their pedigree, according to pet parents. In fact, 61% of pet parents chose their dog based on the assumed characteristics of their breed or breed mix, rather than appearance. According to the report, loyalty is the most desired personality trait for a dog and is most commonly seen in American Pitbull Terriers, German Shepherds, and the Chihuahua. Other top sought after characteristics include friendly and/or social, playful, cuddly, intelligent and protective – in that order.


Mixed breed is the most popular type of dog in the US. According to Rover others are the Labrador, Golden Doodle, Golden Retriever, French Bulldog and more. We think the most popular dog is the one that greets you every morning and afternoon with a wagging tail and a sloppy lick.
