Pharm Assistance Dog Program in Missouri

It's rare for me to be able to report good news about dogs in Missouri. So, my tail is really wagging right now.

I'm barking about the PHARM Dog program. PHARM stands for Pets Helping Agriculture in Rural Missouri. These folks pair farmers with disabilities with dogs who can assist with various tasks around the farm, such as herding livestock, opening gates, carrying buckets or tools.

A new program, they're just this year placing the first assistance dogs with farmers. A three year old Border Collie was the first and he now helps herd sheep and cattle on a northern Missouri farm for a farmer disabled in an accident. That farmer has agreed to give back to the PHARM program by raising a puppy for another farmer.

According to Jackie Allenbrand, a specialist with the Missouri AgrAbility Project and the founder of PHARM, the goal is to help farmers maintain their independance, and continue their ability to productively farm their land. Want to help? PHARM can use dogs, dog trainers, donated puppies and volunteer puppy raisers. They could also use donations of dog food and venterinary medical supplies.

For more information on the PHARM Dog program contact Jackie Allenbrand at 816-279-8558 ext 1026. Visit the Missouri AgrAbility Project on the web.

West Highland Terrier Dog Jewelry Gifts

My best friend Judy had a Skye Terrier dog for several years. The sun rose and set with that dog and it could do no wrong. Then Judy's husband convinced her to get a Westie as a companion. Oh my! Judy's head was turned in a major way. She, nor anyone else, could resist the little white imp.

I hope my own love for this wonderful dog breed shows in my West Highland White Terrier dog breed jewelry. Shown above is one of our handcrafted For Love of a Dog jewelry pieces dedicated to the Westie. This West Highland White Terrier dog breed necklace showcases one of our little dog sculptures, a Westie, of course. In this dog necklace I've combined it with rose pink rhodonite gemstones including a nice fat heart, plus nice natural white marble. Pink not your color, then take a look at our other Westie necklaces.

For Love of a Dog jewelry is always handcrafted, always unique and one of a kind. Thoughtful, cherished dog lover gifts!
