This picture is so rewarding to me. It’s not just a group of dogs posing for a picture.
It’s years of my time invested into the rehabilitation of behaviour problems.
It’s proof that our program works.
But most of all, it is the reward of seeing these dogs come together to live their best life.

6 of the 9 dogs pictured came through rescue and needed some sort of behaviour help. Some sweet but shut down, some dog aggressive, some anxious.

But with the right guidance and dedication from their adoptive families, they become just as wonderful as the rest.

If you were here with us, you wouldn’t be able to tell who came from which background.

Side note about the muzzles. Both of these dogs have had their histories but are both considered rehabilitated. Wearing a muzzle isn’t a punishment. It’s no different than wearing a seatbelt. We never get in our cars anticipating an accident but we sure are glad we have them if an accident happens.

On Saturday afternoon, we got a call from a vet clinic with a plea for help.
This beautiful, healthy 2yr old dog was brought in to be put down but the vet felt that he deserved another chance.
With only 2hrs to clinic closing, he needed somewhere to go or this was the end of the road for him.
….sooo, we took him home! 😅

Here is what we know so far:
•Bandit and his family were here on vacation from out of province
•A stranger entered their accommodations and approached him
•Bandit bit the stranger
•Bandit has acted defensively before, but this was his first official offence
•The family has young children and made the responsible parenting decision that Bandit wasn’t safe around them
•Because they were traveling, they felt they had no other options

Biting humans is never acceptable but circumstances matter. Is the dog inherently aggressive towards people or was this an unfair situation?
When assessing potentially dangerous dogs, we typically take 5 to 7 days to draw a conclusion. It’s important to give the dog time to decompress in our environment. We give them time to get to know us, to build trust and relationship, to set boundaries and expectations. That takes a minimum of three days and we still need more time to assess the actual problem.

He is on day 5 with us and he is sweet as pie.
He is under socialized, insecure and genuinely scared of new people. He has not been given adequate guidance and leadership to become a confidence and emotionally stable dog.
In the time I have gotten to know him, I wholeheartedly believe stability is achievable for him.
He simply hasn’t been given the opportunity.

We are committed to giving him the second chance he so greatly deserves.

They say it takes a village, and we are reaching out to our followers in hopes of creating a village for Bandit.
The rescue we work with is on an intake freeze and doesn’t have the capacity for him so we are looking for a rescue willing to take him on. He would remain with us as a rehabilitation foster until adoption.
If we can’t find a rescue to take him, we would explore looking for sponsors to help cover his expenses and training.

Please like, share and follow Bandit.
