Calling all German Shepherd lovers!
Meet Celeste, just one of several GSD’s at @GalvestonHumane right now waiting for their forever homes!
Watch Celeste’s video and please share her. I will be posting other GSD’s that are also at our overcrowded shelter over the next couple of days.
I know, I know, you guys are being inundated with animals who need homes, but we LITERALLY CANNOT do it WITHOUT YOU! So keep sharing these posts, and help these animals be seen far and Wide.
Transport is an option. Dogs have been adopted and transported to New York, and all the way to California.
So please, keep doing your thing! SHARE, SHARE, SHARE!
People created this problem, and people will have to solve the problem.

How to Beat the Summer Heat with Fido
By Trelle Dandridge
Baby, it’s hot out there!
If it is too hot for you, it is too hot for fido also. Here are a few quick tips to keep Fido safe this summer while you enjoy some summer festivities as well.
Exercising Fido
Make sure to schedule Fido’s walks early in the mornings, or late in the evenings. The mornings are even better because the sidewalks, roads and sands have had all night to cool off.
Teach Fido how to play games indoors. Some fun games can be fetch, tug-of-war, or how to jump through a hula hoop.
Work on Fido’s known behaviors. Known behaviors are behaviors Fido has already learned like sit, down, paw, or touch. Simple behaviors like these can be mentally engaging enough to relax Fido so he can settle.
Beware of heat exhaustion
Heat exhaustion in dogs can be a very dangerous situation that can lead to tragic circumstances. Sadly, we hear of stories where animals are left in hot and poorly ventilated vehicles all the time.
It is never okay to leave your dog alone in a vehicle. In Galveston, if you leave your dog in a hot car, you can expect anything from a broken window, to stiff fines and even jailtime.
Here is what to look for if you suspect your dog has heat exhaustion
Excessive panting or drooling
Dry or sticky gums
Abnormal gum color or bruising in gums
Lethargy or disorientation
Seizures
If you suspect heat exhaustion in your dog, immediately move him to a cooler or shady spot and poor cool (not cold) water over him.
Most importantly, call your veterinarian or emergency veterinary clinic.
Until next time, keep it pawsitive!

How To Help The Texas Animal Shelter Crisis Situation When Your Inn is Full, Or You Can’t Have An Animal
By Trelle Dandridge
We are all getting bombarded by social media posts putting out pleas to the community to adopt and rescue dogs due to the crisis the state of Texas is facing in over populated animal shelters. Don’t worry, this is not EXACTLY another one of those posts. It may seem that way at first, but I really wrote it to encourage our community that there are actually many other ways to help besides adopting another dog or cat, especially if you already are maxed out or cannot afford another animal financially or in time.
The truth is we ARE facing a crisis situation in our Texas shelters, and the problem is NOT going away anytime soon.
The ONLY way this is going to get better is if we CONTINUE talking about it and EDUCATING the community and public abroad on how to STOP the problem.
The obvious (and perhaps to some not so obvious) ways are to:
SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR ANIMAL FRIENDS
No Birth Really is the real no kill. If people continue irresponsibly and even responsibly breeding their dogs and cats, we will NEVER catch up. We literally do not have enough humans on the planet to give every animal a home right now. That is the sad truth.
So please, even if you purchased your dog, spay or neuter them. If you really can’t afford it, there are many programs out there to assist you. If you need help finding them, private message me, or call your local shelter.
It took us all to create this problem, and it will take us all working together to get out of it.
ADOPT OR RESCUE YOUR ANIMAL FRIEND< RATHER THAN SHOP OR PURCHASE THEM
The above statement makes me cringe just a little, because I am not trying to be judgey at all. I bought a dog, after all, but after A LOT of homework, and with lots of recommendations. I was also looking for a specific temperament and per
Meet Simon, a dog in foster with Happy Faces Pet Ranch! He worked on sit, down, loose leash walking and four feet on the floor, but his ultimate reinforcement came at the end when he got ALL…The…Belly…Love!
Being tactile is just one of many ways we can reinforce our dogs. Besides food, what does your dog find reinforcing?
He is up for adoption, check him out by going to www.happyfacespetranch.org !
Our mission at Mutts With Manners has always been to keep dogs out of shelters and in homes, where they belong!

Sally is being fostered through the Mile High Lab Rescue Mission!
We love watching her come more and more out of her shell with strangers! She worked on sit, is learning down, and also worked on stay. She loves to play fetch, and enjoyed her first trip to the beach on Sunday!
You can learn more about Sally by going to www.Mhlrm.com !

How many of you can relate? You buy the expensive toys, and they get excited over a broken pooper scooper handle! 🤦🏼♀️🐾✌🏻❤️🤷♀️🤟🏽 #MuttsWithManners #LearnTrainEmpower #KeepItPawsitive #PlayTogetherStayTogether #TrainForLife #BabyGirl #WarriorPrincess #Shilo #7YearsOld #AdoptDontShop @trellecvc
@MuttsWithMannersTX has been volunteering with Galveston Island Humane Society since the beginning! That would be 2009! 13 years ago when we open the doors to the business, we knew we wanted to dig into our community and spread the pawsitive vibes!✌🏻🐾❤️
We work on the basics, and in our world, we believe that of people can adopt a dog who can walk nicely on a leash, sit and not jump on people, everybody would be happy!😁🐶
One of our favorite things to do is to grab a dog and take him on a #DoggyDayOut !
So, without further ado, meet Mr. Finegan! He’s looking for his forever home. Mutts With Manners is donating a training package to whoever adopts him. A group class of your choice and one private lesson. He already has some of the basics though, and absolutely loves training! He will sit, lay down, crawl, stay for 6 to 10 seconds or up to two steps away with the release word “OK“! His recall is pretty good and he really doesn’t jump on people too much.
Friday we grabbed him and ran some errands around the island and visited @Galveston_CBD_American_Shaman and had some lunch at @TaquilosTexMex .
He met a couple dogs on the strand and just enjoyed watching the world go by in general.🌞
Let’s share this guy, it’s his turn for his forever home!
Go to www.galvestonhumane.org and fill out an adoption application! Set up an appointment and go meet him. He is waiting!

Turbo indicates to his handler, Gina, that he has found the specified scent, birch, by sitting. Good job, Turbo!🐾❤️🐶✌🏻

Check out all of this good body language during the socialization segment of our #AKC #STARPuppy class on Sunday.
Socialization is such an important part of puppyhood, and they learn body language so much more easily from each other than from us two legged family members.
Give us a call and find out when our next puppy class starts, it is the perfect class for puppies under the age of one.🐾😍💯
