"Did you know 50% of dogs who are surrendered to a shelter don't make it out?"

😳😳😳😳😳

That means 50% of your furry little family members will leave in a body bag!!

😱😱😱😱😱

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Dogs, as well as other pets, are a lifetime commitment NOT a part time choice! Do not get a dog unless you are willing to take care of them until the end 🐾

😭😭😭😭😭

This is what it looks like when you surrender your dog to a shelter. This is from a dog who was dropped off to the shelter after being in a quiet home, with a bed, with a family. This is diarrhea from having an upset stomach. Have you ever been so anxious to the point where you get sick to your stomach? This is a 24/7 feeling for a dog who has been surrendered. “Where is my family?” “Why am I in a cage?” “Why are all these dogs barking at me?” Imagine one day you’re taken from your luxurious life and thrown in prison for no reason, never to see your family again. Did you know 50% of dogs who are surrendered to a shelter don’t make it out? Pets are a lifelong commitment. Do not get an animal if you cannot financially, emotionally, or physically care for one. Newsflash, there is no such thing as a perfect dog or cat. They are expensive and a lot of freaking work. The loyalty of an animal is unmatched. They would never do it to you, so don’t do it to them.

Meet Kiara! 🩷 This big girl is with us for a week of training! 🐾

We want to ask a BIG favor! If your dog has stayed with us for training, boarding or if Nathan has come to your home for training, has done virtual training sessions or just answered your questions, would you take a moment and leave us a review on Facebook and Google? You can just copy and paste from one to the other to make things easier!

As you know, reviews are very important for businesses. People like to see other people's experiences before making a decision, especially when it involves their furry family member!

We greatly appreciate your help with this! As always, thank you for the love and support! 🐾

**May I have your attention real quick**

Over the last 10 years I've seen so many dogs MENTALLY lost in fear, overcome by despair, and suffering from depression because they were abandoned. They feel love, abandonment, and hurt emotionally just like we do!

If you are planning on getting a dog please do your research on the breeds that you are considering. Make sure they match your lifestyle and activity level. Don't just get a dog breed because it's cute, free, or because you've always wanted one. This is one of the number one reasons dogs are rehomed 😢

Secondly, dog ownership is NOT cheap nor is it a choice after ownership. You cannot purchase, or adopt, your dog and then throw it away after you've had it for 5 years like an old wardrobe that went out of style. It is a lifetime commitment and yes things change in life. However, you make it work!

Just because you lost your apartment, got laid off, or broke up with someone doesn't mean you get to abandon a child because you can't afford it. The same goes for your dog. If you are not willing to make this type of an agreement when you get a dog then you SHOULD NOT have a dog.

I do want to add that there are resources available like rescues, people, organizations, and businesses that may be willing to temporarily help you. We personally have donated to private fundraisers to cover medical expenses for other people's dogs.

So if you are considering dog ownership ask yourself the following questions:

*Am I willing to take care of this dog for the rest of its life?

*Am I willing to take care of this dog even when times get hard?

*Am I willing to take care of this dog even if I lose my job?

*Am I willing to take care of this dog even if I break up with the individual who was supposed to help me raise it?

*Am I willing to take care of this dog and choose a housing situation that allows my dog to stay with me?

*Am I willing to pay for all medical fees to take care of this dog even if it costs thousands of dollars?

*Am I willing to love and protect this dog as much as I do or would a child?

*Am I willing to pay for training so that my dog can live its best life with manners and obedience?

If you answered no to any of these questions you should seriously consider NOT getting a dog. PERIOD.
