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!

Dog socialization is a crucial aspect of raising a well-rounded and well-behaved dog. It involves exposing your furry friend to various environments, people, and other dogs, helping them develop positive behaviors, and reducing Anxiety in unfamiliar situations. Well-socialized dogs are less likely to experience Anxiety in new environments or around unfamiliar people and animals. Socialization builds confidence and a sense of security in your furry companion. Read more: https://lnkd.in/d3QPSRUH #dog #puppylove #dogtraining #socialization #dogboarding

One of the major challenges resides in the differing views on the best way to approach helping canines find their forever home the first time. Shelters are overwhelmed with dogs being returned. Dogs are all too often viewed as commodities. A fix the problem(s) or return them mentality is unacceptable, in my opinion. Impulse adoption of any dog that may not be suitable for a family's lifestyle or household dynamics is one of the root causes perpetuating this revolving door. Adding any dog to one's family is a lifetime commitment. Every dog is unique. Each has a story. Adding a canine to any family requires time, careful thought, and an understanding of everything that will follow. Family dynamics should include everyone living in the home, frequent visitors as well as other animals living in the home. Meet and greets are important. Once you place that leash on the dog you've chosen, you are responsible for them. Remember - #dogsarefamily

Today, we recognize that these animals are not just looking for shelter; they’re searching for a family, for a chance to give and receive the unconditional love that only a pet can offer. Research shows that adopting a pet can significantly reduce stress and increase happiness in humans. But the impact goes both ways. By opening your heart and home, you’re not just saving a life, you’re transforming your own in ways you never imagined.

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
