A little more than a year ago we decided we wanted another dog to play with Tori our super playful jack russel pit mix. We are huge proponents of rescue dogs. We found a website where people listed dogs in need because none of the shelters in our area had the breeds we were looking for. After a few months of searching a sweet couple got back in contact with us and we agreed to meet at a dog park (it’s best to introduce pets on neutral ground). Both dogs played well together at the park. The couple basically dumped their dog on us even though we agreed to give it a try for a few weeks. The dog we rescued was named Athena and we typically call her Tina now. We noticed some hyper aggressive behaviors in Tina after a few days but it took some time to figure out Tina’s triggers and Tori’s triggers as well. Two things we’ve learned from the process of integrating a new dog into our family are; it’s a process and improvement takes time. The second thing we learned is Tina is absolutely fearless! The video below was taken recently. She jumped in the lake and went for a swim. Some of you reading this might be wondering how to start something new. Take a lesson from Tina and jump in the water. Be fearless! #fearless #jumpin #takerisk #solvetheproblem #justdoit #motivated #starttoday #cheerstoyou #socialimpact #communitydevelopment #economicimpact #economicdevelopment

Rescuing a dog is exciting but it can also be quite intimidating. Whether you’re looking at your local shelter or using a private rescue organization, there can be many dogs to choose from or meet with. We have all of your questions answered in our latest blog:

Myth: Shelter animals are not socialized. Truth: Many shelter animals have lived in homes before and are familiar with people and other pets. Shelters also work on socialization to help pets adapt and thrive in their new homes. If you have a question, we'd be happy to answer!

Myth: You can't find the breed you want at a shelter. Truth: Many breeds, including popular ones, end up in shelters. If you're set on a specific breed, check with shelters and breed-specific rescue organizations. You might be surprised at what you find! If you have a question, we'd be happy to answer!

Owning a dog is more than just a privilege; it's a significant responsibility. Dogs rely on us for basic needs like food and shelter, but they deserve so much more. When welcoming a dog into your life, it's crucial to comprehend the level of commitment that comes with dog ownership. 🐾 #DogOwnership #Responsibility #Commitment

7 - **Expanding Compassion: A Vision for Street Dogs** Continuing the initiative where a wealthy individual envisioned creating a sustainable community for beggars, the focus now extends to our four-legged friends—street dogs. In the same area where homes were built for former beggars, there’s a plan to establish a sanctuary for street dogs. This sanctuary will not only provide care and shelter for these animals but will also offer premium boarding services for pet owners. When pet owners need to travel, they can leave their dogs in this sanctuary, confident that their pets are receiving top-quality care. The fees collected from this premium service will be reinvested into maintaining the sanctuary and supporting the street dogs. This way, the initiative creates a sustainable model where the care of street dogs is supported by the very community that benefits from the service. By continuing to build on this vision, the goal is to create a compassionate community where both people and animals are cared for with dignity and love. #AnimalWelfare #SocialImpact #DogSanctuary #SustainableVision #CaringForAll #CommunityBuilding #PetCare #SocialResponsibility #InnovationWithHeart

Sorry if this post is a little harsh/angry, but it’s tough love time, aka… WHY GIVING UP YOUR PIT BULL IS ALMOST CERTAINLY A DEATH SENTENCE FOR YOUR DOG. The odds of placing a pit bull type dog anywhere they'll survive, let alone have a halfway-decent chance at life, are LONG against. These "odds" are multiplied by the seemingly casual/flippant attitude many people have about DUMPING their dog (read: FAMILY member) The "loving" owner who HAS TO give up his/her dog may post once or twice, adopt a "hey, I tried!" position, and then condemn their beautiful baby to being euthanized by surrendering them to a shelter. It takes love and work —ALOT of work— to find a good home these days. WHY GIVING UP YOUR PIT BULL IS ALMOST CERTAINLY A DEATH SENTENCE FOR YOUR DOG. Every day, the Bully Dog Rescue Coalition --and all other pit bull-centric rescues-- get e-mails and Facebook messages from bully owners pleading with us to take their dogs. They'll tell us a story, which is oftentimes genuine and heartfelt, and just as often lazy and disengenous, about how much they love their beautiful bully, and go on to WHY they HAVE TO give them up. (It's usually because they have to move, although there are many reasons). Just as we are plead with, I am now going to beg the bully owners in return. If you get a pit bull... NO MATTER WHAT... PLEASE MAKE A COMMITMENT TO KEEP HIM, OR HER, FOR LIFE. Here are some facts and figures to think about: -- Statistics on how many dogs are euthanized in shelters each year vary from organization to organization. With that, let's for a moment rely on the ASPCA, which says that in 2022: -- 670,000 dogs were put down in the US. -- Of those, roughly 270,000-- about FORTY PERCENT(!)-- were pit bull-type dogs. That is in comparison to the estimate that only a mere 35,000 pit bulls are adopted out from shelters each year. The math is simple... nearly 9 out of 10 pit bulls enter shelters with a DEATH SENTENCE. So, why can't we rescues just simply take your dog off your hands, and save him from his fate at the local shelter? Believe me when I say... WE WANT TO. But, and sincere apologies for how cold this may sound, ... it's math again. There may be 100 or so rescues in the US that actually own property and safe harbor 20 dogs or more. These AMAZING rescues/sanctuaries--like Shadow's Fund (CA), Dog's Nation (MO), Villalobos (LA) , Best Friends (UT), Luvable (OR), Friends to the Forlorn (GA), Maui Pitbull Rescue (HI) and The Linda Blair Worldheart Foundation (CA)-- are larger, and may have over 100 dogs. Still, AT BEST, there is room for maybe 5000 pups at land-based rescues in the US. And (assuming 5000 is a fair estimate) this mix of 5000 is comprised of many breeds… Read the full blog here: https://lnkd.in/gTwDic-W
