This week's pets of the week will melt your heart.

This has been a ruff week (see what I did there?). My husband's been out of town all week and my son is off doing his own thing; leaving me with a house full of chores and other adult responsibilities. Poor me, I know, but at least I get to come home to the dog.

After a long stressful week, even a day, there's nothing better than coming home to man's best friend.  Numerous studies have shown that dogs release stress at home and at work. Just imagine how relaxed you feel when you're around your dog (or cat, let's not leave them out); now, times that by nine.

That's exactly how I got to spend some of my time this week, with nine of the most adorable Pit bull puppies from Noah's Ark Animal Sanctuary.  Seven of them are still up for adoption and Dena shares their amazing story in our newest "Pet of the Week" video that had me feeling like I was in my own personal Puppy Bowl.

 

If you'd like to give one of these puppies a home, visit or call Noah's Ark 815-962-2767, 111 North First Street in Rockford.
