Thanks For Stopping By

When are you going to publish a collection of your eulogies?” is a question we are asked so often, that we felt it was time.

This anthology of love stories and short essays takes the reader on an emotional journey from despair through hope, and onto jubilation. Yes, there may be a few tears along the way, but trust us, they will
be happy ones. Every story is underpinned by courage, determination, some quirky observations and throughout it all, love in abundance.

Join us as we share the heartwarming, unique and often hilarious stories of some of the lucky seniors who have passed through our doors and
enriched our lives.

Inspired by our many years of work in the field of rescue and behavior, as well as boarding at Desperate DogsThe Ministry of Dog takes its name from our often expressed viewpoint that dogs are one of God's greatest gifts to mankind.......sent here to teach us how to love unconditionally, how to live, and laugh, in the moment and how to express ourselves with honesty and sincerity.  Over the years we have captured many wonderful (and sometimes downright unbelievable) moments on camera and shared many of our thoughts and experiences with our followers and friends.

The Ministry of Dog gives us an opportunity to collate all of these into one forum.  Turning these moments into keepsakes helps us continue to spread the love, humor and brilliance of dogs while raising money for the work we do...... from pro bono behavioral assistance to funding our senior shelter dogs at Frankie and Andy's Place

Meet Penny Miller

PENNY MILLER is a British-born Canine Behavior Counsellor living in Georgia where she runs the award winning Desperate Dogs Ranch, a holistic boarding facility that specializes in the rehabilitation and management of dogs with aggression issues, social ineptitude, thunder phobia and separation anxiety using only kind, force free methods. She is the founder of Frankie and Andy's Place; the nation's premier senior dog sanctuary and hospice care facility in Northeast Georgia dedicated to providing comfort and love for cast aside senior dogs in their last months and years, where the dogs are then used to help handicapped and elderly humans in the community. She is a co-founder of 'Off the Chain', a charity that builds fences and dog houses for chained and tethered dogs in Georgia. She is the driving force behind The Ministry of Dog, an organization that helps dogs and needy individuals in the local community with free food, free equipment, help with veterinary care, re-homing and pro-bono behavioral evaluations for rescues. The Ministry of Dog publishes regular blogs and fact sheets to give free advice to dog owners on subjects such as canine lifestyle, behavior and health, as well as books on senior dog care and dog food. Penny and husband Peter have lost count of how many dogs they've adopted or fostered over the years, but say there's no feeling on earth better than the love and gratitude of a rescued dog.
