Happy Birthday to our old man, Homer, who turned 11 years old last month!

Homer is our first dog together & our first foster fail. He was abandoned in a barn for 3 months & was severly undersocialized so we took him home to work with him. After a year of fostering him, we decided to make our move back to IL. We knew he wouldn’t fair well in the shelter so we adopted him & made him ours. Watching him blossom & gain confidence over the years has been an absolute joy 💙

Another successful puppy class at Bones & Belly Rubs of Darlington, WI

We helped build confidence with the pups by practicing going over & under obstacles. They did wonderful!

Kyra is our current foster dog who would love a forever home! She’s lived most of her life in the shelter since she was a small pup. It’s been amazing watching her blossom & come out of her shell. She loves to give us kisses, play & enjoys our other dogs. She does well with our cats also.

I’m offering 2 free sessions to whoever adopts this sweet girl 💜

Name: Kyra
Age: 1 year old
Breed: Large mixed
Gender: Female
Weight: ~40 pounds
Altered: Yes
Crate Trained: Yes
Housebroke: Working on it! Pee-pad trained at the moment.
Good with kids: We don’t have children but due to her timid nature, younger kids will most likely be too scary for her. Recommend kids 12 yrs of age & up.
Good with dogs: Yes, she gets along great with our dogs. They help make her more comfortable & confident!
Good with cats: Yes, she watches them but never tries to engage with them.
Foster location: Freeport, IL
Fee: $150 that includes spay/neuter, age appropriate vaccinations at the time of adoption, microchip and health certificate. Please apply for me at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HFAH/Dog (403644-DS)

**Meet and greets for approved applicants must happen within 3 days or the closest weekend (for long travelers). It’s in the dogs/puppies best interest to be placed into their furever homes in a timely fashion. All household members must attend the meet and greet.

Bio: Kyra is a timid, sweet girl. She is unsure of the world around her & people but we are working to show her things & people are safe! Other dogs help bring out her confidence so I recommend a home with another pup. She has low to moderate energy in our home. Once she feels comfortable, she becomes playful & likes being pet. Even though people initially make her nervous, she does like to be around us & spend time with us. She is just a sweet girl looking for someone to show her she can be comfortable enough to be herself.

This is definitely something I’ve learned over the years. As you’re working with dogs, you’ll look back & realize all the things the previous dogs taught you. It’s great to see the impact they’ve made on myself & my training. 💜

05/22/2024

Part of our puppy class is dedicated to getting the pups confident & comfortable with new things! Our pups practiced walking on different surfaces including water! Owners often run into the issue of their dogs being unsure of new surfaces so we wanted to provide them with the experience of guiding their dogs through a sensory course.

Happy National Rescue Dog Day!

We've been fostering both cats & dogs for 8 years now! When it comes to dogs, we have always picked the ones that have a tougher time adjusting, have behavioral/medical issues or are long-term. We love helping them learn & grow to make their transition to a forever home easier. Helping them is truly a passion for us.

Here are a few of our foster pups we've had over the years 💜

Happy Birthday to our girl, Aspen! We celebrated her 2nd Birthday last Friday with her sister, Ellie. We picked out some toys & treats, went to the dog park & stopped for a pup cup afterwards. We all had a lot of fun 💜

Happy Mother’s Day to all who hold the title & play the role! We wouldn’t be here without you & appreciate all you do 💙

As temperature’s begin to rise, remember to protect your furry family members. Cars heat up quickly in the sun so if your pup can’t come inside with you, it may be better to just leave them at home.

Summer is coming my friends!!!!

This week during our puppy class we did an exploration course. The pups got to explore some different items that may make them a little unsure or nervous. Our goal is to help build confidence & show them new items don’t have to be scary.

During our last 2 Beginner courses we challenged our owners during our first class & our final class. One by one, each owner got their dog to sit & we timed it to see how fast we could do this as a group.

The top 2 times were from our Monday class, the time on the left was the first class & the time on the right is the final class.
The bottom times are from our Thursday class.
Although not everyone could make it out for our final class, you can still see the difference!

We love seeing these pups make such awesome progress during the course! 😊
