Also how about we don’t pull right up to the crossing guards knee caps and stop…. Or turn right into the crosswalk she is still standing in after the kids cross but her

marks not only the start of a new school year, but it serves as a reminder to motorists about the return of school buses to their daily commutes. Motorists should stop as soon as the red flashing lights come on.

There are currently 67,019 puppies for sale on Puppies.com with more than 15,000 active breeder profiles. Most of those puppies are coming from breeders in Texas, California, Florida, Missouri and Kansas.

Our team is currently doing an audit of all of the breeders who sell through Puppies.com to determine if they hold the proper licensing for their state or federally so we can file all of the complaints. We will share a short list of some of the more concerning facilities that sell through this site as well. While that massive project will take time, we will continue to share pieces of information that we learn with you all!

Please do your part in helping us put an end to the cruel puppy mill industry by reminding your friends, family and coworkers that it is easier to find a puppy mill online than it is a responsible breeder. Do your research before you buy, read the inspection reports, read the reviews, visit the parent dogs in person and don't forget to reach out to your favorite researchers at Bailing Out Benji with any questions or concerns! Don't forget that there are amazing animals waiting for you at your local rescue or shelter too- including many purebred and made-up mixed breeds!

If you are able to support our work, please consider making a donation! We are a small organization that isn't afraid to take on big projects like this, if it means we can discover and put an end to inhumane breeding operations.

Good to know that just because it says it’s health or tasty doesn’t make it good for them

Someone took this picture at the vets office…
About time Veterinarians are acknowledging Purina's Beneful is bad and harmful to your dog.
They should also write:
It may cause cancer, cardiac problems, strokes, blood pressure abnormalities, thyroid, renal failure, hepatic failure, and more!
Glad to see this in a Vets office as they are taking note (finally)!

Hey French host. Some of you have reached out looking for a hosting opportunity but I have retired this year after 25 years in the World Exchange hosting program. But good news is I have a friend who works for the Cleveland Council on World Affairs and is in need of families to house 1 or 2 students for a 12 day stay in July. The difference is they go to classes week days and you don’t need to transport. Here is the info

Article: Should I Use a Prong Collar on My Dog?

When people get a new dog, they know they need a leash and collar. But first-time dog owners never start with a prong collar. This is because the subject of a prong collar only comes up if a behavioral problem develops. Then, a friend or local dog trainer tells them they need a prong.

That's when they do a little research and find this article.

On the right dog, prong collars are a great training tool. I describe them as putting power steering on your leash. They allow small people to control large dogs. They produce behavior changes at a correct level that is often 90% less effort than what is required on a flat collar.

The first impression people have when they see a prong collar is “It looks like some kind of a torture tool.” Like every single dog training tool, they can be abused. But that's not a good enough reason to not use it in your training protocol. A slip collar or even a flat collar can also be abused as well. But when prong collars are used correctly, they can actually produce far fewer injuries than a slip collar or choke chain collar.

We share the 3/3/3 Rule to help those considering to adopt a rescue dog - or for those that just adopted a rescue. Dogs are sentient beings with feelings too and it can be quite scary being thrown away or dropped off at a shelter; spending days or weeks in the shelter; and then being adopted. Patience, love and routine will help them adjust to their new home with you. We also urge to you have your dog microchipped and to use a Martingale collar with newly adopted dogs for double leashes. So many of the cases we are called on are from newly adopted dogs escaping their new homes.

I have been working with Phyllis since November and she is move in ready… crate trained, housebroken, knows all basic commands, walks great on a leash and socialized daily with all sizes/breeds of dogs at my daycare. Please spread the word. I would totally keep Phyl but there is always another dog/puppy who needs a foster and that has been my goal since starting Quinn’s dog pack

Our pack lost 2 more good old girls this month. Both were part of the very first gang who helped make Murphs dog pack become what it is!!
Ruby was the GOAT- well fainting goat. Hope her owner told me many times she won’t walk or go for a car ride and I said I’ll trainer she’ll love it but she kept fainting if she had to do anything she didn’t like.. so most know her as my fainting goat 😂. Her sister Jade will miss her tons

And then there is Ellie. Ellie was Jacks service dog and kept him safe and calm with many years of service
She got to retire for a few years after training her new brother Jake and had a peace life up till the end. She was Murphs first really love
Prayers for their families in this sad time

P.S Jack is with Ruby and his mom is with Ellie. Just realized Jack was helping me the day I took this
