Chewy is donating to the the animal rights (AR) organization HSUS!
The HSUS is a deceptive animal rights group that markets itself as "animal protection" but their idea of animal protection is to write and introduce laws making it more and more expensive and difficult to own animals including pets. According to HSUS tax records less than 1% of your 19 dollars a month actually goes to any hands on animal care!

***THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE TAKING AN ADULT SHELTIE INTO YOUR HOME!

This information can be applied to any dog of any breed at any age.

Too many adult dogs are lost within the first 48 hours of leaving their previous homes. Some will say accidents happen, yes they do, and they WILL happen if you leave room for them to happen….Meaning you should understand that as soon as these dogs leave the care of their previous owner they will become scared. This doesn’t mean they haven’t been raised right. This means that you are not their person and this new place is not their home. If you give them the opportunity to escape they will absolutely take it and they will NOT come to anyone they do not know.

Dogs can slip out of flat collars, harnesses and bite you out of fear to escape. The safest place for them is in a crate inside your vehicle. If they might need a potty break, it should only happen inside a securely fenced area. If they have an accident in their crate during transport, it’s a lot easier to clean up rather than trying to catch a scared dog on the run. If that dog is killed, you will look back and that pile of p**p in the crate will not seem like such a big deal.


❌ Don't take the dog out of the crate during transport unless absolutely necessary.
❌ Don’t try to walk the dog outside of a location that’s not securely fenced, just move them to and from in the crate.
❌ Don’t let the dog off lead at your home if you do not have a fenced yard.
❌ Don’t let the dog roam free in the home if the front door (leading to an unfenced yard) will be used frequently (this is a big concern with homes that have children running in and out)

The 3-3-3 Rule:

3 Days:

In the first 3 days after your new dog comes home, he is likely to feel overwhelmed with all the changes and may be scared. He might not want to eat or drink and may just curl up in his crate or hide somewhere and that is okay. Patience and setting them up for success is vital during this time period. Be sure to give them time & space to get comfortable and more familiar with their surroundings and routine.
It is important not to ask much out of them during this time, bonding will come so you shouldn’t try to force it. Things like calling their name over and over or trying to lure them to you with food/treats is a big DON’T. A better approach is to ignore them and let them come to you when they are ready.

3 Weeks:

After about 3 weeks, your dog will start to settle into his new home. He will feel more comfortable and start to figure out his new environment. He will get into a routine (don’t forget, you need to help with that!), and start to show you his true personality. Of course, that can have drawbacks and if your dog has any behavioral concerns, they will tend to manifest around this time. At the 3-week mark, it is a good time to invest in some training, teaching tricks, obedience etc. This will get his mind working and will begin to create a bond between you and him in a healthy setting.

3 Months:

After 3 months, your dog should be settled into their routine and feel completely comfortable in his or her new home. They should be developing trust in you and gaining a sense of security with their new family. And don’t forget brushing up and continuing to work on new tricks or skills is always a good way to continue to build your bond and keep them mentally stimulated.

Bringing an adult dog into your home can be very rewarding and the right move for those that just want to skip the puppy stage. However, it is a night and day difference between bringing home an adult vs a puppy….so you’ll need to weigh the pros and cons. Then be honest with yourself about your own capabilities. Both require time and patience. But with an adult you must be diligent and keep them safely secured until they accept you as their new family. Well even after, but with time, you can trust them with more freedom.

For breeders rehoming adults, I recommend placing a tracking collar on the dog that stays on for the first month minimum. For me, going forward the purchase of a tracking collar will be factored into the purchase price of the dog. A copy of this information will be sent prior to any agreement taking place.

Take your dogs out early in the morning and late evening. Keep them off the asphalt and concrete exposed to the hot sun.

A purchase of a well bred purebred dog does not condemn another dog to death.
A purchase of a well bred purebred dog does not result in an uptick in the shelter dogs.
A desire to have a dog with predictable temperament from a healthy line does not result in another dog not getting adopted at the shelter.
A careful research on the most responsible breeders who meet all requirements is not the problem. It's not what you should be mad at.
It's not who you should blame.
I am not the one who irresponsibly brought these dogs into this world and left them in a shelter. Responsible breeders aren't the ones bringing these dogs to animal shelters either.
It's my home, my life and my choice what kind of dog I want to bring in. Maybe I need a working dog, sport dog, show dog or just a companion dog of a certain breed that suits me best.
Whatever reason I choose to support a reputable breeder, it will not send an animal protection dog to death.
A breeder who does health tests, temperament tests and titling of their dogs does not contribute to the number of stray dogs.
The number of stray dogs in the world is a problem, but it's not a problem made worse by reputable breeders or those who buy from them.
Your neighbor who gets a "purebred" dog without papers because they're cheap is contributing to the problem.
Your friend who spontaneously bought a puppy from Petland is contributing to the problem.
The person scrambling to pump out the hottest designer mix ASAP is contributing to the problem.
Your relatives who have to get their dog covered once, "so she can experience what it's like to be a mother" or because "she's such a good/cute/sweet girl" are contributing to the problem.
Your old school mate who bought a working dog with lots of energy without taking the time to research its needs and character who ultimately sees it doesn't fit his lifestyle is the problem.
A reputable breeder offers lifetime support. A serious breeder would never allow their dogs to end up in a shelter from the start.
It's understandable to be angry about the number of homeless dogs in the world, but if you look closer, you'll find that your anger is misplaced.

THE DREAM THAT MANY WILL NOT UNDERSTAND:
My Dogs are my personal dream.
One day when I am very old and when I can not walk anymore, it will be in my heart as a trophy of my memories.
Every time I am with my dogs, I think about how wonderful they are.
I stopped talking about it to those who do not understand, and I learned to communicate with others of the same mindset.
I have met some amazing people I now call friends from all over this big world because of my dogs.
I spent money that I did not have, giving up many things, but all these things are not worth even one special moment with my dogs.
They are not just a pet or a thing that I own, they are the lost part of my soul and my spirit.
And when someone says to me: "It's just a dog", ... I do not answer. I just swing my head and smile.
A dog..... only the person who loves them understands it.
Wishing good Karma to my friends and all their dogs...
And the adventure continues. .
