Shawna's Dogs

12/17/2024

What a fulfilling day! Today we delivered all of the wonderful, thoughtful, generous gifts that so many of the Shawna’s Dogs Pet Parents donated this Holiday Season! Through Catholic Charities, we adopted 5 people, along with their pets, and happily made sure they were going to have a truly magical Holiday! Thank you to all who made this possible! Thank you to Catholic Charities for helping so many people in our community, as well as for allowing us to be a little part of that! Happy Holidays!

What a fun time last night at the Town of Bethlehem, NY Holiday Parade! Thank you to Hatchet and Pirate for braving the cold to walk the route! Can’t wait to do it again next year! Hopefully it’s a little warmer!
Ps: thank you so much to all of you who reached out wishing us a fun night! We definitely understand the weather was not ideal for all the dogs walking!

There’s no such thing as an ‘alpha’ in dog training. It’s a made up, opinion term, by tv ‘trainers’ to justify aversive ‘techniques’.

What’s the difference between a dire wolf and an alpha wolf? Dire wolves actually did exist.

Dire wolves seem like fantasy, and star alongside dragons in Game of Thrones, but they were real and actually did wander on our planet.

Alpha wolves are just made up fantasy and don’t exist. It’s an old, outdated term used to describe the mating male in a wolf family. Otherwise known as “dad”. However, you’ll not only hear it as a term used to describe modern day wolves, but it comes up in dog behaviour as well. Don’t let a backyard trainer spin myth to justify using corrections on you dog!

Good morning Everyone!
It's that time of year again! Shawna's Dogs, for the past 7+ years, has adopted families or individuals with animals through Catholic Charities to help provide some Holiday Magic to them for the holidays! Many of the people that need a little help are people struggling with medical conditions or food insecurity issues so being adopted makes such a huge difference in their lives! Each year, the Shawna's Dogs Family STEPS UP and always has Michelle, the coordinator, beyond amazed! I'm sending the link to the 'Sign up Genius' that I created with all the items that each individual NEEDS as well as WANTS. This is not a family. This year, Michelle didn't have one family with animals but had 5 individuals with dogs/cats/birds so she asked if we could take them all and I said, "Yes!".

Please click on the link below, scroll through all of the items needed and wanted, then click on the item you'd like to purchase and wrap, put their name and client number on the gift and drop it off to us BY FRIDAY 12/13. That's the day I'll be delivering all items to Catholic Charities so they distribute everything to the people in time for the holidays. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

HELLO EVERYONE! It's that time of year again where we adopt a family through Catholic Charities and help make their Holiday Season MAGICAL! This year, they didn't have a family with any dogs so they reached out and said that they had 5 single people with either a dog, cat and/or bird. Michelle at Ch...

Thank you to all who serve and served.

Shawna’s Dogs will be closed today to observe Veterans Day. We will be open for normal business hours tomorrow, 11/12.
