🚨 Important Update: Leptospirosis Now a Core Vaccine for ALL Dogs
The 2022 AAHA Canine Vaccination Guidelines have been updated to classify the leptospirosis vaccine as CORE for all dogs starting at 12 weeks of age – regardless of lifestyle, location, or breed.
Why the change?
🌆 ALL dogs are at risk—urban, suburban, and rural.
⚠️ Potentially fatal, even with treatment.
🔄 Zoonotic—it can spread from pets to humans.
🏢 Dogs in daycare and kennels also face exposure risks.
You can find the full update in the Nov/Dec issue of JAAHA, or check out the full 2022 Canine Vaccination Guidelines here: aaha.org/canine-vaccinations

Video of Everest! Apologies for only post one at a time. Facebook doesn’t make it easy 😆

Found another one of Tutti Fruitty, who I’ve nicknamed “Autumn” as her coat reminds me of the fall leaves 🍁

One more of Orion…he’s a cuddle bug 🐶💜🐶

One more of Orion 💕 He just wants to curl up on someone’s lap and be loved.

EVEREST!

Got to spend some time with Everest again today. He did even better today. His tail never went between his legs, he RAN after a ball we threw and as you can see, he gently takes a treat from Mike's mouth. In case you're wondering, Mike does that so that the dog learns to trust him and Mike extends his trust to the dog. It's a two way street. Two visits ago, Everest wouldn't get up from the ground much less let Mike or I touch him. I say 'MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS" are happening for this guy.

Puppy Tails !!!

ORION HAS FOUND HIS NEW HOME❤️❤️ Sadly, Orion is STILL at the shelter. All his siblings are gone and I simply don't understand why this sweet baby hasn't been swooped up yet! Look at that tail go!!!Mike & I had him out just for some playtime, cause puppies need to play, BUT, he did REALLY great on the lead. A little crazy directionally (LOL) so watch your step, but he is smart as can be and would learn basic commands pretty quickly. He is one of the friendliest puppies I've ever met and all he wanted to do was crawl up in our laps and be petted and played with. This guys will make someone a fabulous BFF! Come on gang...NO PUPPY SHOULD GROW UP IN A SHELTER!

Tutti Fruitti!!!!

Tutti Fruitty being such a good girl on lead & sitting pretty for treats! This little lady has just been spayed as is looking for her "furever" home. Needs someone who will go slow and steady with her as everything is pretty scary right now. Call the shelter for all the info on this sweet girl.
