When he was just a puppy, Larry says Oogy was living in a hell on earth. He was tied to a stake and used as bait for pit bulls in a dogfighting ring. “He’d been thrown in a cage and left to die, and the police raided the facility,” Larry says. “He was brought to Ardmore Animal Hospital, and they saved him.”

Several months ago, I signed up for the PetsMart Visa card. It offered several perks… put your pet’s photo on it, works as your PetsPerks card and offers redeemable “points” for your purchases.
