‼️ FOSTERS NEEDED ‼️

We’d love to get these cuties into a foster home or 2. They are only 7 weeks and most go in pairs or together.

✨This is in the best interest of the puppies. Groupings at this age help to ensure they become well rounded adults.

We can’t believe our Bunny girl has been searching for her forever home for over 3 months.

Since we’ve had her for an extended period of time we decided to test her DNA…🥁

However, if we list her as any of her top 5 there isn’t a single person that would believe us. 🤣

Long haired chi ✅
Terrier ✅
Cattle dog ✅
Bloodhound ✅

I’m not sure which of these is the wildest but someone adopt this beautiful bloodhound. 🤣

Our 3️⃣ kids are a mostly unseen part of Sweet Home, however, if I’ve fostered over 3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ animals these girls have been right by my side.

Here are my top tips for bringing home a new dog when you have young kids…

✨Utilize a Crate:
This creates a safe place for your new dog while also keeping your kids out of their space. As parents of young kids you can’t watch a dog and your kids at all times. We are all pulled in too many directions. If you can’t keep eyes on your newest addition they should be in their crate. Side Note: this also helps with house training.

✨Family Time:
It’s important that you create time for the family to interact with your newest addition. This allows you to redirect not only your dog’s behavior but train your kiddos. It’s important to understand your kids will also learn by watching you interact. Not sure how to train a dog? There are lots of trainers in the area. I personally, recommend working with a trainer that will also teach you at the same time.

✨Training Your Kids:
Arguably the most important component is training your kids. Kids do all sorts of things wrong with dogs. Just to name a few: they run, they roll around on the ground, they scream, they play chase, and they can’t read social queues.

✨Understand Your Limitations:
If you don’t have time to teach your kids and your new dog then you should reconsider adopting.

Dogs can do irreparable damage to a human in minutes especially children.

‼️Disclaimer: These are just a few of the things you should do. In my opinion, they are the most important overall concepts.

I spy… 🔍

some major snuggles between Bass (puppy) and his foster brother Walker. Little Bass is just barely longer than Walker’s giant Great Dane head. 🤣

Bass was at the shelter all by himself a few weeks ago. He had a shellshocked vibe, we just couldn’t leave him behind.

We love seeing him gaining confidence & snuggling with his foster siblings. ❤️

Darla was spayed yesterday and had her gastropexy. She is now ready for her forever home. ❤️🐾

Wondering what a gastropexy is and why we do it? Well wonder no longer…

“Gastro” means stomach, and “pexy” means fixation. For a gastropexy in dogs, a permanent adhesion is formed between the stomach and the right abdominal wall, holding the stomach in its normal anatomical position.

Great Danes are highly susceptible to a condition known as gastric dilatation and volvulus (GDV). Which can be life threatening.

Interesting read if you have a few minutes. People in our area are told the same when they see or pick up strays.

We took in 6 puppies (6-8 week old) last summer when the finder was told by AC to leave them where they found them.
