Bills Abused Animal Sanctuary

05/05/2024

I am sorry to bring this bad news. I regret to inform you all that my 2nd Cousin Bill just passed away. Bill cared deeply for the dogs in his care and all dogs.

I know he would want us to find good homes for his dogs and the ones he was fostering.

I am in MN, but I can try to help open lines of communication.
Please message this page, and I will do my best to open lines of communication to help find good homes for his dogs.

Teeter has been adopted ♥️🐾

Teeter is stopping by to show off her photos from the weekend 💚 She was happy to be outside with nice weather!

Teeter is an outstanding little puppy. She has such a fun, silly personality inside of her little 7lb body. Her favorite things to do are: zoomies after naptime, collecting shoes to lay with, carrying around toys larger than herself and nap time.

Teeter is a good sleeper and is doing an excellent job with crate training. She loves all of the dogs she is in foster with (and has no idea how small she is!)

Great information read it and do it read it

🐶 Use your Manners! 🐶
The Sniff test - Stop doing that!
The sniff test - a badly engrained habit that society has been taught, without a clear understanding of what they're actually doing.

🚩When you reach out towards a dog, you are using body pressure AT them, giving them no time to assess whether you are safe & whether they require further investigation to pick up your information. You are forcing an interaction of a relationship that hasn't had time to develop. To some dogs, this is quite rude & the reason a lot of dogs snap at or bite people. This can cause alot of behavioral issues because of layered stress due to forced interactions.

🚩If they are on lead, they have no where to go if they are sensitive to spacial pressure, so can end up shutting down, shying away or snapping at your hand so you back off. This is an example of how a dog is now using pressure to turn off pressure & make you back off so they aren't so stressed.

🚩People think by offering your hand it can give the dog time to sniff to know you're friendly... they can sniff without being forced to sniff your hand.Their noses are far more superior than ours & they don't need close contact forced upon them to smell you.

🚩Some dogs might not want to know you. You have no relationship with them and that's perfectly fine. They aren't your dog so you don't need to touch them or steal pats for your own satisfaction.

🤔 If you are meeting a dog, what should you do?
✅ Ask the owner if you can interact with their dog. Not all people want strangers touching their dogs. Especially strangers who you are unlikely to see again.
✅ Stand up straight & relaxed, with your hands at your side.
✅ Ignore the dog & talk to the owner.
✅ Don't stare at the dog & don't try to force an interaction by going in for a pat. If the dog wants to know you, it will come up to you & sniff around. Usually they will move away & then come back for a second sniffathon. Some dogs will bunt your hands & wag their tails, which are good signs that you're likely an accepted new friend. Give them a few slow pats down their back (NOT THEIR HEAD) & then stop. Is the dog happy? Has it accepted your interaction? This will determine whether you can give it more pats.

🐶This is a more stress free option for dogs & a reason why in consultations we can develop a good level of trust, especially with fearful dogs & aggressive dogs, without a bunch of negative side effects from forced interactions.
