❤️❤️❤️ADOPTED ❤️❤️❤️
This morning we are sharing 4 year old Hank & Shelby again in an emotional appeal for them to be rescued from kennel life and into a loving home.
Hank and Shelby have been here for an extended time, their expressions showing their sense of longing and hope to be rescued.
Hank is blind and relies on Shelby, which adds to the urgency of their situation.
Please give them a beautiful forever and rescue them from their long-term stay at the shelter.
They deserve a soft place to land with all the comforts.
*Would require a meet and greet with your dogs and may be able to live with kitties.

Let's talk about this photo. It's cute, except it's not. I see a dog who cannot get up without telling the child to get off. How do you think a dog is going to do that?

The 7 Golden Toddler Dog Rules:
#1: If a dog walks away from you, you DO NOT FOLLOW.
#2: Always leave room for the dog to walk away from you.
---that right there is 90+% of dog bites eliminated---
#3: We do not climb on the dog.
#4: We do not grab or pull on the dog.
#5: We do not hit or throw anything at the dog.
#6: We do not touch the dog's food.
#7: We do not go into the dog's kennel.

I promise these are not overly difficult concepts for littles, nor will they rob a kid of their bond with the family dog. It will deepen that bond, while keeping everyone safe.

"Oh, it looks like Moose is walking away from you. She is saying she wants a break. Let's play with this instead!"

"It's Moose's dinner time! Let's give her space to enjoy her yummies."

"That is Moose's room(kennel) and only she is allowed to go in there."

"If Moose wanted a break, could she walk away from you right now? No she really couldn't. Let's move away from the play house. You can keep playing but now she can leave when she wants a break."

In conclusion, ***parent your child or your dog will do it for you, and you will not like how they do it.***
