It’s Ella’s turn, please share her post to help Ella find her forever family!! She’s been waiting 7 months!

Ella has been in rescue for 7 months with no interest! She was returned to rescue after having a home for 4 years because the family had a baby.

She is 5yrs old, 40lbs, American Bulldog mix. She has gone through a board and train, is potty trained, crate trained, knows obedience cues, walks well on leash, rides in the car great, and loves meeting new people! Her favorite activity is to play fetch! What more can you ask for?!

Ella needs slow introductions to new dogs. She currently is living with 6 other dogs of all sizes. She seems to love young dogs that like to play, otherwise she would be thrilled to be the center of your world!

Ella comes with free training sessions to ensure a smooth transition for her and her potential adopter. We will also dog sit Ella when you go on vacation! Please apply through A Second Chance Puppies and Kittens Rescue

Ella is being fostered in Lake Worth Beach, FL.

Phoenix is 11 months old, 43lbs, Labrador/sharpei mix! She is potty trained, crate trained, knows obedience cues, great with dogs of all sizes and age and cats! She is such a happy pup with everyone she meets! She is so quiet, doesn’t bark, loves to play with her friends. She’s very gentle when playing with dogs or people. She is looking for her forever home, in hopes of finding another dog that loves to play just as much as she does!

She is available through A Second Chance Puppies and Kittens Rescue and comes with a discounted training session from Safari Dog Training

Phoenix is being fostered in Lantana, FL 📍

Please share to help this beautiful pup her forever home! She is a delight!

Ollie has been in rescue for a full year… 😞 he’s been to countless adoption events with no luck..

He’s such a fun dog, he loves playing with the hose or sprinklers, chewing on toys, he walks well on leash, does great for car rides, loves meeting new people!

Ollie is potty trained, crate trained, obedience trained, he can be trusted to be left alone free roaming in the house as he likes to be a couch potato. He’s a low maintenance pup!

Ollie is currently living with 4 other dogs of all sizes. He does great with puppies!

Ollie comes with a free training session from Safari Dog Training to his adopter to ensure a smooth transition into his forever home. We will also dog sit Ollie when you go on vacation!

Will you give this sweet pup his chance?

For your⬅️ exercise needs
To clear your⬅️ head
For you⬅️.
They stop for a second, they are pulled and yanked along.
and if I see one more dog limping beside a runner!
Your dog wants to keep stopping.
You can't see exactly what is happening or the gait change in your dog because your eyes are forward, but you feel the "hesitation" from behind.

Some runners may see it as "interfering" with the pace you have set, so you may just keep "yanking" them along when they are trying to tell you stop, the only way they can!
Some people have heard running is great for dogs.
Well, that depends entirely on the length of time, the pace, the breed and the individual dog themselves.
Not every breed is built for what we expect them to do.

This isn't anti joggers/runners as many walkers can do exactly the same.
You have 30 mins after work and you "must" do that 4 block circuit in 25 mins.

No stopping
No sniffing
No engagement

They stop for a second, they are tugged at, pulled and yanked along.

If your exercise interferes with what your dog NEEDS, it's well and truly time to separate the two.
For everyone's benefit.

How can you tell if it is an appeasement signal?
Is there suddenly something new around them or in their environment?
What is happening around them right now?
They can be such innocuous actions to us but can be a BIG sign that dogs can give.

Another clue❓

They are often shown in combination.
For example a dog may blink slowly and yawn.
They may scratch and turn away.
The lowering of the head can cause a posture change and curving of the body.

Individually they can be just everyday, ordinary behaviours....context is everything here.
Just because they show these doesn't necessarily mean something needs addressed, it just means we need to look a bit deeper at what that licking, nibbling or yawning may be trying to communicate.

(This isn't available yet but should be in the shop in the next week or so.)
