Nikki Coben is "just an animal lover trying to help our fine furry friends in need," she says.

This new issue, her fifth, includes:

• Fifteen puppies born in the winter woods who need forever/foster homes (they are oh so chubby cute!), as well as other dogs and cats in desperate need
• Upcoming dog/cat/pig/chicken/etc. legislation
• A personal dog product warning
• Happy endings (dogs/cats you helped find homes for, simply by cross-posting)
