COVID AND ADOPTING A DOG
Many of us are working from home, studying from home, spending more time with family, and getting a dog seems like the perfect answer. They need homes! We have time. Do we really? Please remember that adopting a dog is for life. Please don't let them down. While we want to save more and more dogs, which depends on how many get adopted, we ask that you are very sure a dog is the right answer for your home. Covid will end, folks. Doesn't seem like it right now, but it will; and off to those busy work schedules many of us will return. Where will your dog stay when you are gone? Do you have time to train it now? When you are gone for 8+ hours a day, will you have the energy or the inclination to walk you dog in the am before work or school? Puppies like the one above are so darn cute! But they grow up. When they hit their teen months, they require focused training, regular exercise, structure and yes love. Please make sure you are ready for the commitment. |
ADOPTING
During this time of COVID, we have fewer foster homes, more applications, and less opportunity to safely meet. In the past, we were happy to show dogs to people who told us, "We are just looking right now." That was fine then, but not now. For your safety and our volunteers safety, we can only set up appointments with one or two applicants for each dog. The process is taking longer because we can no longer set up three or more appointments for the same dog or dogs. We understand everyone wants to get a feel for the dogs they are considering bringing into their home for years to come. Let's work together to find you the right companion. We may not be able to respond to every inquiry and every application. Rest assured we do try. |
LEASH TRAINING
MARTINGALE COLLARS!
we found a great site to review about leash training your dog and want to share it here. Walking a dog sounds so simple, and lots of people may think they know how to properly walk a dog so it's an enjoyable experience, but dogs are often returned to rescues or dumped at shelters because the dog "is out of control," but who is the pack leader? You or the dog? Start with walking your dog with the intent to teach her that it's a fun adventure for both of you, but you are in control; control is not about overpowering the dog; it's not about being stronger or bigger or rough or tough; leadership can and should be calm and assertive. We highly recommend using a Martingale collar, which is a combination of a flat collar and a choke chain. For more information on the different types of tools to use, take a look at this site: Central Park Paws. |
