Is your dog nervous about thunderstorms or fireworks? Here is a good basic article to help or to handout

A black and white dog leans against its owner for comfort. The sounds from fireworks, thunderstorms and other loud noises are common sources of fear and anxiety in many dogs.

Repost of a comment - this was a reply to a FB friend who posted a photo/meme about the stress and abandonment of bringing a dog to a shelter by showing a pic of a soiled concrete run. Full props to the poster, who did respond to my comment thanking me for my perspective. I respect that a great deal - no flame wars just a 'point made' and let's move on friend.... I just wanted to repost my comment publicly for share/consideration/just because.

Please do not shame those who surrender an animal to the shelter - it is not a uniform demographic:

Be careful posting this type of graphic. You are going to cause a lot of collateral damage while you may prevent a small number of targets. Many people have to surrender pets for reasons that are heartbreaking....loss of a job, inability to continue care due to physical or mental breakdown, loss of homes, and more. Some of the very best, kindest, and most compassionate people I've ever had the honor to work with have been municipal shelter workers. People like Susan Shearstone at Toronto Animal Services, James Mclean, Shona Gage at Brampton Animal Services, Heather White at Oakville Milton Humane. When you post this you not only exponentially pile on the person's guilt and trauma, you may inadvertently send them to a 'free to a good home' post on Kijiji where far less rigorous screening occurs. In every population there are some immoral bad actors, but never assume that most people who surrender their beloved pets do so with a cavalier attitude. For so many, it is a loss among many at the worst times of their lives.

Before you ask owners, breeders, plumbers, and Uber drivers for medical advice about your pet - consider reaching out to your vet and going to a resource such at Cornell Veterinary below. Breeders, owners, and enthusiasts may provide wisdom and guidance, but it is always important to follow up their input with your vet as well.

Hi! I'm Robbie! I have four legs and I'm looking for one loving family or person to snuggle, play, run, and hang out with! I'm an intact two-year-old Blue Heeler. I'm not a cat person, but I do like some dogs, and would love a playmate! I really bonded with a friends' Red Heeler puppy, but they couldn't keep me :-(

Deets are below! Please share to help me along my journey.

Robbie's dad is looking for an active home for him. He loves Robbie, but he travels for work, and although he has been taking Robbie with him, he feels that it just isn't fair to the dog, and wants Robbie to be happy and active.
Robbie is used to staying in hotels, and travels very well. Dad feels he would be a great disc dog, or perhaps even a working farm dog.

Robbie's dad is located near Orillia, Ontario, but travel routes include Eastern and Northern Ontario for work.

Please DM for the owner's e-mail address if you are interested in learning more about adopting this great dog. I will reply only with the e-mail address for you. :-)

Recently, FBRN has seen an increase in surrenders of fad-color Frenchies. Many of these dogs have health issues that must be addressed before they can be adopted. That is nothing new for us. Many of our foster dogs require extensive vet care regardless of whether or not they happen to be a fad color. Indeed, it is difficult to say whether the increasing surrenders of fad-color dogs are due to health problems related to the dog’s coloring, or if there are just more fad-color dogs in the general population. Regardless, we feel that we, as a group dedicated to the well-being of French Bulldogs, should address the issue of fad colors.

The discussion of fad colors can be a heated topic, but as advocates for the breed we want to ensure that our supporters are aware of the potential health issues that French Bulldogs with fad colors may endure as well as the larger implications for the breed as a whole. Is it possible for a breeder of fad-color Frenchies to produce relatively healthy, sound dogs? Yes. A fad-color breeder can employ scrupulous selective breeding and genetic testing. It seems, however, that the majority of fad-color breeders are not selecting for healthy, conformationally sound bloodlines. They are not investing in the health and genetic testing commonly practiced by reputable breeders. They are merely breeding dogs that carry a certain color because they can convince members of the public to pay exorbitant prices for dogs with an unusual appearance. They are driven by profit, not a commitment to produce healthy dogs.
