So. Indiana Blue Heeler Mix Needs Loving Foster Home

If you're looking for a furry friend who’s equal parts cuddly and cute, look no further than ASH, our Pet of the Week from It Takes a Village! This adorable 5-month-old blue heeler mix is currently hanging out at ITV's Spencer County location, but she’s really hoping to find a cozy foster home (and maybe a forever family to call her own),

Remember, if you become her foster, that means you will have the first chance to adopt ASH once her vetting is complete. If you can offer ASH a temporary foster home filled with love (and maybe a few belly rubs), head over to ITVrescue.org to fill out a foster application.

If our pet of the week isn’t the right fit for your home, please visit It Takes a Village to see the other rescues that need to get fostered and adopted. And don't forget about their RENT A DOG Program. A quick fill form and copy of your photo ID will allow you time out with one of ITV's vetted shelter dogs. These day dates are great for the rescues - it gets them some exercise and new information to help us get them adopted. It’s been a big hit- so don’t miss out!

25 Unusual Things Owners Say They're Pets Have Eaten

Having a pet, especially a dog, is like having a toddler all the time. If you don't see or hear them for a while, it usually means they're getting into something they're not supposed to be getting into. After my dog had to have surgery to remove a lump of carpet she had eaten, I wanted to know if there were any other strange or unusual things other people's pets have digested. How some of these animals still have working digestive systems is nothing short of a medical miracle. It's a good thing they're cute.

Because the regulation of exotic animals is left to states, some organizations, including The Humane Society of the United States, advocate for federal, standardized legislation that would ban owning large cats, bears, primates, and large poisonous snakes as pets.

Read on to see which pets are banned in your home state, as well as across the nation.
