Hospice Rescue. It's a thing and Brave Dogs Advocacy does it right. Follow and donate as your spirit feels moved.

Loving a hospice dog is like placing your heart
in an hourglass… every precious second taking you closer to the vortex of loss 💔
So while both your hearts beat on this side of the bridge, never miss an opportunity for a gentle caress, a playful boop… a love so fierce a dog will remember nothing else of this world as they cross over… 🌈

-armani

A hospice sanctuary is full of love and constant loss… some dogs leave sooner than expected… ALL dogs leave sooner than hoped. So why choose this rescue path? I will introduce you to the girl that veered me away from behavioral dogs to hospice… however, right now the Tiny House is feeling a bit shattered.

Love your dogs, each other, and the world as much as dogs love you… ❤️

*pictured here is my boy, Argus… I imagine him reveling among the stars ✨ 💫 ❤️

I'm happy to share another Five Star Review from a very happy customer! Duy needed help learning that he didn't have to bite his new family in order to get his needs met and his new family needed help guiding him through this process. Together, we made it happen! Way to go, Team Duy!

"We adopted 3-year-old Duy in November 2022. He was wary of and reactive toward strangers. He was also known to nip when touched in a spot he wasn't fond of. The rescue said he was best suited to a nurturing adult-only home to patiently address and work through these issues. We've adopted rescues since 2003 and Duy was the first one who challenged us. He bit us several times in the first couple of months and we weren't sure if we were in over our heads. Our other dog, Benny, was also a bit skeptical of the new addition to our family.

Sybl was recommended to us by our friend who works with rescues regularly. The initial phone call and in-person assessment provided much more information than I expected and I was pleasantly surprised. We immediately hit it off with Sybl and signed up for the "Good Dog, Let's Go!" training plan. Over the course of 8 lessons, we learned about command training, proper use of tools/equipment (basket muzzle, slip collar, pinch collar, and leashes), and most importantly how to be his coach to guide him in his lessons. We've had dogs for most of our lives and it was eye-opening to learn how to hone in on our dogs' behaviors to better understand them and be better dog guardians.

We appreciate Sybl's wealth of knowledge and accessibility when we had questions between sessions. Duy is much happier and more trusting, making so much progress since working with her. The tools, exercises, and resources she has provided will be beneficial for every dog we adopt going forward. We are so thankful for her!”

Crawdad is looking for a home. Good luck, good boy!

ADOPT ME AT MUTTVILLE! (San Francisco CA): Crawdad (Chihuahua | Male)
Here’s some notes from his foster:

Oh my god Crawdad is the perfect antique specimen!! He belongs in a museum or on a porch drinking sweet tea. He’s so gentle, easy, quiet, friendly and house broken.

He walks great on a leash and traverses stairs with ease. Despite having no jaw, he eats well and doesn’t let it impact his day to…

I'm very pleased to share Buddy's Way K9's newest five-star review! I love helping families and their dogs!

"Buddy's Way K9.....the first meeting with Sybl begins with professionalism and respect for the needs of her client. I met with Sybl to discuss in home training for my 1-1/2 year old playful 40 lb Doberman. She put me at ease discussing her methodology and anticipated time line. My goal was to teach my dog manners, to respond to commands both on and off leash, and in doing all this not break his playful spirit while he was continuing to grow, but teach him boundaries with my grandchildren so that time spent together was enjoyable for everyone. Sybl's commitment to meeting goals we set was on target. She also met with my family and grandchildren (1&3) to help with reinforcing behavior he had learned and make suggestions on how family members could approach him without over-stimulating him with our tone of voice, and especially with the running around the kids do entering the house. We all learned so much and I can't even begin to praise Sybl enough. She is reliable, respectful and loves her work from the heart. I now have a very well trained dog who at 80 lbs current weight listens and responds beautifully. Please consider contacting Sybl for your training needs. I'm certain she will be the last call you need to make."
