According to reports the Diaz family dog fell off of his owners boat Sunday just before midnight. They say it happened in the Apollo beach area near Bahia Beach. The dog is to believed to have gotten as far as the shores of St. Petersburg by now because, at the time, the winds and currents were pushing toward MacDill Air Force Base.

Foster a homeless dog for a couple nights.

I love this idea. You sign up to have a two night “pawjama party” with a dog from Friends of Strays Animal Shelter in St. Pete. No commitment beyond those two nights. Just give a homeless pup a loving home, food and water for 2 nights. You’ll actually be part of a study… they’ll ask you how it went, how the dog behaved, etc. Their research tells them that even just a couple nights away from the shelter helps not only the dog, but shelter staff and volunteers. For a homeless dog, they get some love, peace and quiet. They found that fostered dogs become less likely to be returned once adopted. You pick a date and time that works for you to host a homeless dog for a two nights.
