Myth: You can't find young animals at shelters. Truth: Shelters often have puppies and kittens, especially during certain times of the year. They also have young adult pets who have plenty of energy and love to give. If you have a question, we'd be happy to answer!

“One Sale, One Shelter”. The characters from “Shep Learns A Lesson” were created with shelter dogs in mind. The character of “Chevy” is based on my own rescue dog, Chevy, who literally changed my life for the better: more than words could ever describe. A portion of each book sale goes to animal shelters in need. #rescuedogs #writersandauthors #childrensauthors #animalshelters #socialemotionalskills

Whether they're big or small, young or old, rescue dogs come in all forms, each with a unique story to tell. Don't be afraid to open your heart and home to a furry friend in need from a shelter or rescue organization. Many of these dogs have ended up in their situation through no fault of their own, and with the right love and care, they can thrive in their new forever homes. Transitioning to a new environment can be challenging for rescue dogs, but with the help of an animal communicator, the process can be made easier. Animal communicators have a special gift for understanding and connecting with animals, allowing them to communicate the needs and emotions of rescue dogs during this crucial transition period. Whether it's helping to alleviate anxiety, building trust, or addressing past traumas, an animal communicator can play a vital role in helping rescue dogs feel safe, secure, and loved in their new homes. Today, let's honor the resilience and spirit of rescue dogs everywhere and celebrate the joy they bring to our lives. If you're considering adding a furry friend to your family, remember that rescue dogs are always ready to repay your love tenfold. Help make the transition easier by scheduling an animal communication call! 🐾💕 https://lnkd.in/egftChqE #NationalRescueDogDay #AdoptDontShop #PetRescue #AnimalCommunicator #AskYourAnimals

Has a coyote ever "followed" you or your dog while you were out on a walk? If so, you may have felt afraid, thought the coyote was stalking you, or believed an attack was imminent. The truth is, you were likely being “escorted”! Despite common misconception, coyotes generally don't "stalk" people with intent to harm. However, they often engage in a behavior called "escorting," which is when a coyote, sometimes with their mate, follows nearby to ensure that intruders leave their territory. This behavior is most often seen from early March to late April when coyote parents are caring for young pups. Escorting usually happens in the early morning or evening and is frequently observed by dog walkers because coyotes may see dogs as a threat to their families and vulnerable offspring. ❓ What should you do if you're "escorted" by a coyote? Don't panic; the coyote is naturally much more afraid of you! 🐶 If you don't have your dog leashed (which you should in coyote country), immediately leash up and keep your pup by your side. Most conflict with coyotes arises in the presence of a dog, so it's important to practice responsible animal guardianship to avoid conflict before it happens. 🚶♀️ Calmly keep walking as normal. Soon enough, you'll be out of the coyote's home and they will stop escorting you away from their home! 🐺 On the off chance that the escorting coyote starts to approach too closely, shout and wave your hands to frighten them away.

We simply must learn to understand their behavior and modify our own in order to coexist. #ProjectCoyote #CompassionateCoexistence #Coexist #Coyotes
