Good morning! Meet Freda, Alma, Momma Freda, Mila, and Chacho--group of rescues is now dubbed "the gang" and are learning to live together in harmony. Four of the five are Xoloitzcuintles (or Mexican Hairless Dogs) or Xolo (pronounced "show-low") for short. Freda, the German Shepherd, is struggling with accepting three new Xolos in the house (Momma Freda, Mila, and Chacho--pictures 3 and 4 left to right) and the three are not dealing with all of Freda's barking all that well. Dog pack assimilation is a bit tricky but can be done for the most part--it just requires controlled interactions, repeated exposure, lots of positive reinforcement, and patience. Please encourage "the gang" to keep up the great work!
