PLEASE SHARE: Are you considering getting a puppy, a kitten, a cat or a dog? At Green Acres Kennel Shop we offer a FREE program called Which Pet for Me/Our Family?

This program is an opportunity for you to have a discussion with pet care professionals that are NOT trying to get you to adopt or purchase a pet. You will be able to ask us questions, and we will offer objective advice based on over twenty years of experience with thousands of dogs and cats of various breeds and types. Unlike a breeder, pet store, shelter or rescue we will not be trying to get you to purchase or adopt a pet from us. We will ask you questions as well; about your lifestyle; current and future, and what you are looking for in a pet. Additionally, we suggest that you consider asking us all of the following questions:

• What type of pet will be best for us, a dog or a cat?
• What are the pros and cons of an adult pet vs. a youngster?
• Is getting two pets at the same time a good idea?
• How important is the age of the pet I choose?
• What breed of pet will best match our lifestyle?
• Are their breeds we should avoid?
• Small pet versus a big pet; pros and cons?
• Coat type (short versus long); pros and cons?
• Mix vs.a purebred; pros and cons?
• How can I find reputable breeder or shelter/rescue?
• How will children impact my decision?
• What level of training will my pet require?
• How much is a pet going to cost me, now and in the future?

We offer this program for FREE because we want to help you make the best decision possible so that your pet and you become and remain, best friends for life. Which Pet For Me/Our Family? is scheduled on an individual basis, so give us a call at 945-6841.

PLEASE SHARE – When a dog kills a person or another dog, it makes the news. In the Spring of 2017 a dog in Maine killed a dog, was put into a shelter, and amidst much controversy was then put up for adoption. In Virginia, a rescue dog killed a 91-year-old woman the first day in its new home. That dog had a known bite history but was still put up for adoption by a rescue organization. These are tragic events for all, and they did not need to happen.
This blog post is a combination of two columns I wrote for Downeast Dogs News on the topic of dangerous dogs. I discuss how Maine law defines a dangerous dog and how those with expertise and training in canine behavior would determine if a dog is dangerous. In the second article, I discuss what I believe to be the responsibilities of those placing dangerous dogs into the community or those considering adopting such a dog. Lastly, I have updated the articles as they appeared in Downeast Dog News to include information on the dog attack in Virginia.
