We hope that Buddy's story will be a lesson about doodles. These dogs are filling our shelters at alarming rates. Doodles are a combination of two high caliber/working dog breeds, they are by no means a dog designed for novice dog owners. They are not hypoallergenic, there is no such thing as a hypoallergenic dog. People are buying them hoping for a hypoallergenic teddy bear and realizing they lack the expertise to manage them OR are allergic to them and dumping them in horrific conditions. To date, we have had to send more doodles to training than any other dog, they arrive to us BUCKWILD and starved for attention. It's heart-wrenching to watch and frustrating to deal with.

Buddy arrived to us and he was the type of wild we'd never seen before. He could not be handled, managed, or contained, he was CRAZY. If you're his former owner and you're reading this, he is only alive because of us. You just about ruined this poor dog and dumped him to die. SHAME ON YOU.

He spent over a year in training, learning how to be a well-behaved dog and we spent a small fortune getting him there. A big thank you to Pete and his staff for giving Buddy everything they had, and then they gave him even more. We do not give up on dogs here.

Buddy, our sweet pest, I didn't think this day would ever come. But alas, you are on your way now, with your new family and two brothers ready for you to walk them to school. The world awaits you, go show them your skills.

We are over the moon for Buddy and his family, who committed to his training structure.

Happy, happy life, Buddy. We are beyond proud of you. HIPster for life, always in our hearts.

This is one for the books. xoxo

"It was out of the blue" 💥
"He just snapped" ❗
"It happened in an instant".
If we look back, there are often many signals given.
Even if it was just a second before.
For many dogs they can escalate to a bite because every other signal and sign they have desperately given either us or another dog to stop or back off has been ignored or dismissed.
Reading dogs is tricky, but there are things we can do that can help us read our dogs.
✅Read their body language when they are relaxed.
What are their bodies doing?
Is their mouth relaxed?
What are their ears and tail doing?
Are their eyes "soft" and is there facial tension?
All of this can help you decipher when they are escalating and can help you with those "out of the blue moments".

Number one priority for everyone's safety is muzzle training.
While that isn't something many people want to do, a well conditioned and properly introduced muzzle is protection for everyone while you can truly understand what happened and put steps in place so this doesn't happen again.

Learn how dogs display they are uncomfortable and recognise this in your own dogs.
There will be a video in the comments that can help with this.

As the holidays near, we are seeing a lot of festive home decorations as we patrol the neighborhoods and visit with pet owners in need of our services.

While these decors are all lovely and seasonal (and some of the baked goods smell delicious) - please don’t forget that many of these plants, foods and decorations, are unsafe, or even quite dangerous for pets.

These hazards range from chocolate and bread, to tinsel and tree fertilizer, all the way to mistletoe and poinsettias!

Our good friends/colleagues at MSPCA-Angell have put together this great list of Holiday Hazards, in an effort to keep your pets safe and your holidays without incident. It is a worth-read as you prepare your homes for the holiday season.

Please also consider free-roaming cats and wildlife, when decorating and planting outdoors. Animals are curious by nature, which can place them in unknowingly precarious positions. Please report any animals to us that appear sick or injured.

In the event that your pet has ingested something unsafe, or even if you suspect that your pet has gotten into something harmful, please do not hesitate to call your veterinarian, or one of the outstanding emergency veterinary hospitals nearest to our community. We have provided some of these important phone numbers and addresses, just in case – but our hope is that no one needs them.

Perhaps you can print this page and keep it nearby as we further enter and coast through the holiday season.

Our mission, at Dedham Animal Control, is to keep animals safe, and keep our community informed and connected to helpful and vital resources.

Meet Scallywag Saturday 10am-2pm 💙 Look at this face! 😍 He is REALLY hoping to find a home for the Holiday’s. Please help us by liking, commenting, and sharing. Scallywag is a great dog but he is looking for a particular family. He requires an adult only home without other pets. He is looking for experienced, dog savvy owners to work on his jumping and continue his training. He is a 3 year old, male, Labradoodle. He is an energetic dog that needs a lot of exercise. He will make an amazing walking buddy. He is up to date on vaccinations and has been neutered. Come in and meet him! You won't regret it.

“Why do I STILL not have a family? Look how adorable I am!” We are open today 3-7pm & Barnaby Jones has been waiting for so long for a family. Help us find foster or forever homes by sharing, commenting, and liking.

This guy is the face of resilience. He has been through a lot and is struggling through a long shelter stay. Barnaby requires a dog savvy family with experience with his breed. He is a 2 year old, male, Bloodhound mix. He is good with other dogs (pending a successful meet and greet). His ideal home would not have children under 12 or cats. He’s a very good boy that just needs a chance. He is up to date on vaccinations and has been neutered. PLEASE SHARE!
