It’s been a while since Mrs. Sizzle has visited a shelter and I was lucky enough to have some national outreach from AUSTIN, TX. Nicole Mlakar, a fantastic Austin photographer, and Anne Christian, of the brilliant dog collar & leash co, DOG + BONE , came together to do a series of portraits at the local shelter, AUSTIN PETS ALIVE.
One of my biggest mentors, both with cancer advice and with rescue admiration, is my cousin Kris. She is a cancer thriver, and wellness warrior, not to mention, compassionate and informative also. I couldn't help reach out to her to have her share her compelling story about Buddy, who she found in the woods with her husband Brian Fassett. I have to say the journey was one of my favorite Intsagram feeds ever!
I had not yet been to the Humane Society of New York until today and it is with great joy that I can report I finally met my friend Sandra DeFeo who Richard Phibbs had introduced me to! Today I was there with the great Tara Sgroi to photograph some gorgeous dogs who are in need of furever homes. The most fun thing is they are wearing Peruvian Connection sweaters that CEO and Founder, Annie Hurlbut, dreamed up that use the remnants of the alpaca garments that are knit for Peruvian Connection.Tomorrow these sweaters will be for sale with 100% of the proceeds benefitting the Humane Society of New York
This one...Ok she may be small but I think she is larger than life! Chic, quirky, positive are just a few of the words that come to mind when I think of Ella Bean the Dog but go ahead and see for yourself. Mrs. Sizzle grilled her the other week!
DOG & CO. hit the road this summer with V.P. of Quality Control/Cheif Product Tester, Cheeky the Dog, to explore the South. Their stop in Clarksdale, Mississippi took to us to the home of the blues, where she sported all-American looks from some of our favorite designers on location at the incredible Shack Up Inn. Mrs. Sizzle is in awe of the result and had to share this summertime story!
I came across this amazing dog and owner on Instagram called @extrememairlulu and was undone. But became even more so when I heard she was missing! Read all about Lulu from her owners!
We have all heard the horror stories of puppy mills and buying dogs from pet stores. Here at Mrs. Sizzle we are big advocates for adoption and rescue dogs and we love showcasing fellow advocates. We came across Holly Brookhouser on her instagram page: @pawsofoz. Holly posts hilarious pictures of her motley crew or should we say muttly crew.

Sophie Gamand is an animal lover, photographer, and animal activist extraordinaire.
I was lucky enough to be along for the ride last week in Brookhaven Long Island, a town that I live in and one that has a very special need which Sophie could fulfill - Pit Bull awareness - by extending her series "Flower Power, Pit Bulls of the Revolution". We visited the Brookhaven Animal Shelter, with Ashley Boyd at the helm, and over two days, Sophie was able to photograph more than 50 dogs. I was in awe!
We rescued Ollie from the North Central Animal Shelter In Los Angeles, CA. He was brought in as a stray at the estimated age of 3/4months. When we met him, he simply walked over to the front of his cage and gently kissed our hands, and we knew we couldn't leave without him.
Shy and a bit skittish as a puppy, Ollie has blossomed into a wonderful adventurer and companion.
My brother, Doug Donaldson, introduced me to this wonderful yogi named Shannon Brady who has a delightful blog and does not have a dog. What she does have, however, is a big heart, a generous spirit, and a way with dogs.
One of the first things I did when I moved back to LA from New York was begin the search for a rescue dog. All the big, green spaces were calling for a pup! I spent all of my free time obsessively scouring rescue websites and adoption centers for a dog. I had no idea what kind of dog I wanted, other than that I was probably more well-equipped to handle one on the smaller side.
