Hello everyone,

I would like to kindly request your attention and support for a very special cause. My friend's son, Aiden, was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy at the tender age of three. Despite this challenging diagnosis, Aiden remains determined to live his life to the fullest.

Aiden has a deep passion for meeting and working with Police K9s. He particularly loves the Malinois and Shepherds that his mother owns and trains. His radiant smile has the power to brighten up any room he enters.

I am reaching out to humbly ask for your support in contributing to Aiden's GoFundMe campaign. This cause is of great importance to Aiden and his family, and every little bit counts. Whether you are able to make a donation or simply share the fundraiser, your support is deeply appreciated.

Thank you for your kindness and consideration. Together, we can make a positive impact on Aiden's journey.

Meet Aiden! Aiden’s journey began at the tender age of 3, wh… Gideon Kopitchinski needs your support for Creating Miracles for Aiden: A Journey of Hope and Comfort

I have a 20 week malinois that needs a good, suitable home. Please message me for more details.
There will absolutely be a thorough screening process. I want to ensure this pup ends up in forever home.

What would make someone good owner?
Patience, fenced in yard, time to train, time to dedicate appropriate sports, understand that mal pups do bite, nip. Someone who has had experience with high drive breeds.

If you do not have these things, do not ask. It will be no.

Mr. Cooper is en route to Hawaii. It has been a distinct privilege to be a part of Cooper and his owner's training journey. From initially hearing "he is not particularly food motivated. He barks at other dogs on our walks" to witnessing him successfully pass all three Canine Good Citizen programs, being rewarded throughout with fresh pet treats. He and his owners dedicated themselves diligently to achieving their objectives within a short timeframe. We accomplished it, and we did it as a collaborative team!

I am immensely proud of you all! Cooper, I hope you thoroughly enjoy your time on the beautiful beach, my friend! I eagerly anticipate seeing all the photographs your mother shares with me.

Please take a moment to sign the petition to help us stop Jeff McArthur.

Jeff McArthur of Sentinel Canine out of Talladega county Alabama has abused and unalived several dogs in his care.
He not only filmed his gamebred APBT unaliving a malinois that was tied to a tree. But he encouraged it, he gained pleasure out of it, he said "oh my god, good boy"
Jeff McArthur starved dogs on the daily. Jeff McArthur unalived several dogs in his care, presumed unalived the same way the malinois in the video was.
Jeff McArthur is being protected by the local justice system around him. Perhaps because he and his family are tied to a dog fighting ring. Perhaps the people in charge of stopping people like Jeff McArthur are not stopping Jeff because they have something to hide in relation to this dog fighting ring.
Jeff McArthur needs to be stopped. And we need help. We have escalated this up the justice system food chain and no one cares. Alabama governor Ivey has said "It is not my job" she is too worried about all her photo ops.

Please sign and share the petition. Help us draw a line in the sand with these people who abuse dogs.

As a dog trainer I am disgusted by people claiming to be trainers only to abuse dogs. I am sick of people like this in my industry. I am sick of dog owners being scared.

Hello everyone! These two sisters are looking for a new home. No fault of their own or their owners. Life just happened. And the owners have decided to make the incredibly selfless decision to find them a new home(s).
Narah (black coat) and Rahma (tan coat) are 8 month old German Shepherd/Malinois mixes. They are potty trained, kennel trained, and up to date on all shots. They have a little bit of obedience as well but haven't had any formal training. They get along with other dogs and people, including kids. They are not fond of cats though. Although sisters, it is not required or important for them to stay together. We understand splitting them up might be our only option.
I have not trained these two. The owners have just reached out for help in finding a good homes for them. I will be evaluating these two more in depth soon and will be able to provide for information and videos soon. I be evaluating their behavior, drive, and handling skills for anyone that may be interested.
All inquiries will be heavily checked to ensure home,family, enviroment are suitable matches.

**Urgent: Assistance Required in Locating a Corgi** SHARE***SHARE***SHARE!!!***

We kindly request your assistance in locating a corgi that was entrusted to a "trainer" named Jeff McArthur, who operates Sentinel Canine in Alpine, Alabama. The owner of the corgi has not had any contact with the dog since it was sent to Jeff McArthur, who has subsequently ghosted and blocked all communication attempts.

Concerningly, Jeff McArthur is facing multiple allegations of animal abuse. As a result, we are deeply concerned about the well-being of the corgi and are actively seeking its whereabouts. Many around Jeff also suspect drug and alcohol use being a major factor. Which is also very concerning when we are talking about the safety of dogs in his care.

We kindly request that you share and disseminate this information widely. If you have recently acquired a corgi that resembles the one in question, we urge you to contact us immediately. Our primary objective is to ensure the safe recovery of the corgi. Additionally, we are committed to ensuring that Jeff McArthur is held accountable for his actions.

For further information and updates, please visit our TikTok account .

Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Is there anyone who could help caring for this beautiful sweet dog?
A client of mine and her friends have been working very hard at gaining this pups trust. They found him lake bottom area and have been giving him food andwl water. Slowly he has gotten closer and closer, even hanging out with them. They are now working on trying to get him into a car so they can get him to vet. He some wounds that need attention and just general check up.

If I know anyone who could help care for him. We could possibly set up gofund me to help develop funds to help with vet care and food for whoever can foster him until rescue opens up.

Update: he has been vetted. He will do best in a house without another dog, and warms up to women much quicker. He gets very attached very quickly, though, and trust quickly with treat and enough space.
