The Indigo Dog Club has been created to catch in-shelter dogs who are the most in need for a potential foster or adopter. We share what makes these dogs special by focusing not only on details about their inner sweet doggie selves that will shine and blossom in a home but also on behavioral issues a foster/adopter would need to know to set them up for success!
Our website is a space to build connections and match potential fosters or adopters to a specific dog in the hope of minimizing the number of trips across the "rainbow bridge".

Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825-1911) was a household name in the 19th century—easily as prominent as Frederick Douglass. In an age, when Black people were routinely diminished as intellectually lacking, she was the 1st Black American woman to publish a short story, was an influential abolitionist, suffragist, and lecturer.

“You white women speak here of rights,” she said. “I speak of wrongs.” —Francis Harper, May 8, 1866

We've got #snow in #Baltimore #Maryland this morning.

Of course. Every accusation is a confession with these disgusting scumbags:

"A former #Maryland school librarian who spray-painted "groomer" on public libraries during Pride Week has been arrested on child pornography charges...

"...The 31-year-old Sutherland was arrested in June after he was caught on video spray-painting anti-#LGBTQ slurs on entrances to public libraries...

...officers also found diapers & dolls in his apt, incl a child-sized doll in his bed." https://www.rawstory.com/charles-sutherland-maryland/
