Lee came to Every Dog as a shelter dog in need of a chance. He was full of energy and a little intimidating in his kennel, but anyone who knew him knew he was one of the sweetest, most loving dogs ever. After being adopted and returned due to circumstances beyond his control, he faced nearly another year in the shelter.
Lee attended Rowdy Manners at Every Dog, getting a break from the stress of the shelter and the space to learn, decompress, and practice calming his wildest behaviors. By graduation, he was calmer, more focused, and ready for what came next. The very next day, Lee was adopted!
Training didn’t change who Lee was, it changed what was possible for him and helped someone feel confident saying yes. Now, Lee lives his best life traveling, hiking, and being spoiled by his loving family.
This is the impact of Every Dog’s Shelter Dog Program. Through partnerships with Austin Humane Society, Austin Animal Center, and Austin Pets Alive, we provide free training so behavior doesn’t become a barrier to a loving home.
