Ya'll keep your outside time to a minimum! Stay safe

This picture makes me cringe. It should make you cringe too!

Let's talk about this photo. It's cute, except it's not. I see a dog who cannot get up without telling the child to get off. How do you think a dog is going to do that?

The 7 Golden Toddler Dog Rules:
#1: If a dog walks away from you, you DO NOT FOLLOW.
#2: Always leave room for the dog to walk away from you.
---that right there is 90+% of dog bites eliminated---
#3: We do not climb on the dog.
#4: We do not grab or pull on the dog.
#5: We do not hit or throw anything at the dog.
#6: We do not touch the dog's food.
#7: We do not go into the dog's kennel.

I promise these are not overly difficult concepts for littles, nor will they rob a kid of their bond with the family dog. It will deepen that bond, while keeping everyone safe.

"Oh, it looks like Moose is walking away from you. She is saying she wants a break. Let's play with this instead!"

"It's Moose's dinner time! Let's give her space to enjoy her yummies."

"That is Moose's room(kennel) and only she is allowed to go in there."

"If Moose wanted a break, could she walk away from you right now? No she really couldn't. Let's move away from the play house. You can keep playing but now she can leave when she wants a break."

In conclusion, ***parent your child or your dog will do it for you, and you will not like how they do it.***

Adopters get mad when we won’t adopt out a single kitten and this is why. Please don’t bash rescues who follow the practice of adopting out pairs or a kitten to a home with another cat we have our reasons!

A Galapagos sea lion named Panchita was caught up in a net, which left deep cuts all over her body. She managed to get away and make it to this hotel, where animal advocates lovingly nursed her back to health for three months.
A special bond was formed between Panchita and her rescuers. After she was fully healed, Panchita was released back to her natural habitat in the wild. But every day she returns to visit the humans who rescued her after being out at sea all day. She spends time with her rescuers and takes a peaceful, afternoon nap on her special chair. Then she'll return to the sea, and her rescuers know she'll be back to visit them the next day.

We love a happy ending, and this was a doubly happy ending for Nala and her guardian!

After Nala was brought to us due to her guardian's personal circumstances, he continued to check on her regularly, calling in to see how she was doing. And while Nala got lots of attention at the shelter, and even went on an adoption sleepover, she still found herself looking for a new home after several weeks. But as it turns out, she was just waiting for her old home all along!

After her guardian's personal circumstances changed for the better, he was able to re-adopt Nala and take her back home to the family she loved dearly. We are so happy for Nala and her family!

While animal control has a dog food budget, the overwhelming number of animals can make that money go quickly.
