Pet lady: That's my role in the Miami Herald newsroom. I've been here since 1989, during which time I've had 11 dogs, a ring-necked parakeet, a chicken, and a lizard named Lance. At the moment, I have four dogs, one step-dog, and two cockatiels. A native New Yorker, I came here from Louisville, Ky. I'm a graduate of the University of Arizona, and had a Nieman Fellowship at Harvard in 1988. I have written 309 stories containing the word "dog" in the past 20 years.

As far as I'm concerned, EVERY month is adopt-a-shelter-pet month, but it's officially October. A good way to find shelters is at petfiender.com, with 140,000 adoptable dogs listed through a network that includes more than 11,900 animal shelters and rescue groups.
Go get one!!
