💞 Free daycare package and discounted training to the family that saves her! ❣️

This is Miss Starr. She’s the longest resident at Fayette animal shelter to no fault of her own. This makes her first in line for euthanasia and since we are at full capacity, it is a waiting game on if she will live or not.
She is a staff favorite and the Volunteer favorite. She is just 3 years old, spayed, Hw negative, utd on vaccines and dog friendly. Please visit her at the shelter to see if she is a good fit for you or someone you know. She is truly so beautiful and deserves a happy life. If you cannot adopt, please share!

As someone who is in rescue and my last 2 rescues were senior long hair Chis, I would love to offer whoever adopts this baby free daycare plus discounted boarding! It is SO important to give the seniors a chance and adopting seniors changed my life in ways I never knew possible! I'm obsessed with her, but already have 4 of my own plus fosters. She's perfect and I know someone will treasure her as much as she deserves to be❤️❤️

08/07/2024

Friendly reminder that per our monthly calendar, we are closed Thursday and Friday this week.
We look forward to seeing you again next week!

🐾 INTRODUCING SCENT WORK CLASS🐾
Scent work is an exciting activity you do with your dog that involves them using their amazing sense of smell. This can be used for competition or just for a fun, enriching activity for your dog!

🐶 Scent work is fun AND has COUNTLESS benefits, such as:
- Working your dog’s brain and will tire them out just as much (or more!) than physical exercise. It gives dogs a job and can reduce attention-seeking or boredom-related behaviors.
- Great for building confidence in shy or timid dogs and a great way to exercise high-drive or excitable dogs, too!
- Lowers heartrate and is naturally relaxing. Studies show regular nosework activities make dogs happier and less stressed.
- Great for nervous or reactive dogs!

🐕‍🦺Scent work is one of the fastest growing dog sports! Dogs are trained to locate a scent and alert their handler that they have found it. Q-tips are infused with essential oils like birch, anise or clove and hidden in indoor spaces, exterior spaces, on vehicles and in various containers.
Scent work is based on the work of bomb and drug detection dogs in an environment that is accessible for dogs of ALL ages, sizes and breeds! There are NO previous training requirements!!

⚠️Class details and registration:
-For dogs 12 weeks and older. All dogs must be up-to-date on their vaccines to attend. Proof of vaccines will be due before the start of class.
- Class is held indoors and limited to 4 spots.
- Cost is $175 for 6 weeks. Each class is 1hr & 15mins once a week.
- Contact Barks & Recreation to reserve your spot today! [email protected] 678-870-9010

❤️🤍💙 Our pack is wishing everyone a very happy independence day! Don't forget to keep your pets indoors and make sure their tags are up to date! July 4th is the day that the most pets go missing!

🐾 Thank you for one year!

❤️ this is why small scale, enrichment based centers are so important! Making sure that your dog knows how to self regulate is SO important to their mental state.

Normal, healthy dog play is not 25-30 dogs playing for 8 hours straight. Normal, healthy dog play is a small group of dogs periodically playing with one another and taking breaks when they get tired. The bigger the group, and the longer they play, the more overstimulated they get which can lead to fights and increased behavior issues. Make sure when you're picking out a daycare or play center for your dogs, the groups are small and they get adequate breaks to decompress!

Violet is showcasing the fun she had yesterday at her Tricky Tuesday session! Look at that focus and determination!
These sessions are SO good for your pet's cognitive function, stress levels, and much more! We have spots open every Tuesday in July. If you are interested in signing your pup up, let us know!

Watch Daisy showcase one of the MANY benefits of puppy class! When Daisy (dachshund) first started class, she was not interested in play at all and very unsure of the other dogs. Just a few weeks in, and look at her confidence playing with one of her classmates! 💕 We love to see this! *Contact us today for info on how to set your puppy up for success!

A very special thank you to Archer who helped me catch the creature that broke into the daycare last night! I've been trying for hours, but apparently needed the help of a silly little man 😂

Our sweet friends are having a BLAST doing trick sessions! Just take a look at all of this fun! *We still have a few spots open for May. 2 spots are available on May 14 and 21. 1 spot only available on both May 7 and 28! Contact us today to book!

What is going on with the new Fayette county shelter is unacceptable. On the off chance that all dogs are picked up by 5pm, I plan to attend this meeting. Otherwise, we need YOU to make a stand and be a voice for those without. Pets are getting injured daily due to the unacceptable living spaces. We have to do better for them. Please attend this meeting today at 5pm to stand in support. If you cannot attend in person, please attend virtually : https://fayettecountyga.gov/administration/BOC/county-commission-meetings/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR35CGFtyH6l7dO6xvTaCjuoj86lfIjvYXHhDwnP35j16oPqJQZC3LWmJzU_aem_AXwnHCLZI9grgDABClGHcIpPSeeytzPNBoqv2OwPUXG6_lWIGjkipE1pTtedeM4SLdpbJgd9eO4MJahOD-s1ZdWL

The pups that participated in Tricky Tuesday had a blast yesterday! Check out their trick learning progress! 💃

🥕National Carrot Day🥕 Did your pet like trying carrots?

Our first trick day was a success! Our pups that signed up learned the foundations of trick building! ❤️💕❤️ Check out these cuties & be sure to let us know if you want to sign your pup up!

We had both experienced and brand new dogs play agility last week & everyone did phenomenal! 🏆 New for April- we are going to be offering virtual badges for the dogs to earn. They earn them by learning new skills and new equipment. Some of your dogs may have already earned a badge! As the dogs earn the badge it will be uploaded to their google drive folder for you to view! ⚠️Important note- videos will be saved to google drive for viewing for 2 weeks then we will have to delete them because of google's limited space. Make sure you save your pup's videos to your phone or computer if you want to rewatch them!

🐾 Look how much fun our pups are having during their agility sessions! A huge thank you to Kacey for providing this incredible dog sport to our pack! If your pet attended this past Monday, you should receive emails with your pet's video today! 🐾 Our spots for March are all now FULL! However, please let us know if you are interested as we are trying to plan for sessions in April ❤️🥰

🍌🫐Taste test part 2! 🫐🍌 Part 3 coming soon with the fan favorite, Sardines. *feel free to follow us om Tiktok for more cute videos of your babies - @ barksandrecpc

Here's a few of our friends enjoying the towel game today! Proof that getting your pet's brain going doesn't have to be some huge task... sometimes the most simple things work very well! Watch until the end to see Flori say "Work smarter, not harder!" 🤣🤣

Enrichment Friday was so much fun! Check out some of the pups doing great at searching! Featuring shy Rey at the end, who was too scared of the box... but happy to do tricks for treats instead! 🤣

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to our raffle! We raised $880 and it truly means the world to us. It wouldn't be possible without each one of you who believe in and help us! Since this is a 50/50 raffle, the winner gets to keep $440 of it! Here is a video showing the drawing I just did! Congrats to David! 🥳🥳🥳

A huge congrats to Valeria Childress for winning yesterday's raffle at Gremlin Growlers 💗💕💗💕 thank you all so much for your support, it was an amazing day and means the world to us!!
