Why the Name Dog House Heating & Plumbing?

This is a question often asked.  Since 2000 John and his wife, Maria, have adopted 13 dogs (most elderly and/or special needs) from local animal shelters and rescues from as far away as Virginia (this is not counting the cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats and hamsters also adopted).  There is no doubt there will be more furry family members that will share their home in addition to these in the years to come.  It seemed fitting to name the business after something so prevalent and important in their lives.

The animals in shelters are not defective, they end up there due to many reasons and there are simply not enough homes for all the animals being born.  Spaying and neutering companion animals plus rescue/adoption would help the overpopulation problem immensely.  The estimate is about 80,000 dogs & cats are euthanized in U.S. shelters (imagine the number worldwide) each week! 

Please, please consider adoption if you are thinking about adding an animal (any animal, not just dogs and cats) to your family.
