WHY IS RECEIVING FREE PLACEMENT SUPPORT IMPORTANT FOR YOUR PRAIRIE DOGS?
Many prairie dogs are looking for a well-matched final forever home. However, it is very important to be extremely careful when adopting this species, particularly via Craigslist, social media, and other venues, as many placements are not carefully screened and managed throughout the placement and integration process and wind up bouncing around to several homes unnecessarily at the animal's expense instead of finding their optimal long-term success story we ALL want them to achieve through careful due diligence not only of the prairie dog in need of placement but of all the characteristics of the potential new home that can significantly impact their long term success, lifespan, and behavioral outcomes along with the happiness and suitability for all in the house it is joining.
Placements are always 100% about finding the right match for all the prairie dogs involved. This is not limited to the prairie dog(s) needing adoption assistance but also includes the established prairie dogs in the newly proposed home, the other animals of all species, and all the people residing there. IT IS IMPORTANT to recognize that some prairie dogs may be better matched to some homes MORE than others. When one prairie dog may not be a good fit for one home, it may be perfect in another setting, with careful screening, transition, and integration plans in place to ensure you take the time to get it right before moving them in.
We STRONGLY RECOMMEND *FREE* professional assistance when taking a prairie dog into your home *BEFORE* you leap, be it as a new prairie dog owner or someone with prior experience with one or more that could be extremely different than the prairie dogs being placed currently. Receiving free professional support with prior diet, health history, integration, and other behavior considerations where you can benefit from 30+ years of doctoral work specializing in the species, coupled with the experience of assisting 100,000+ prairie dogs in captive settings, helps ensure a smooth outcome for EVERYONE concerned to make the placement a one-and-done situation instead of taking the animal in just because we can and then seeing it isn't a good fit and bouncing it to yet another home at its expense. No one wants that.
We want to do what's best for this animal as it has no voice, and sometimes doing what's right takes time. While finding the best-fit adoption placement may take time, we can trust it will be a win for all concerned once the match is found. We strongly recommend it, as there are incredible prairie dogs out there if you're looking to rescue. However, because of the uniqueness of each individual soul of this colony-based, working animal, this means that adopting or even purchasing your first prairie dog can be a very bumpy and problematic experience, where getting a bit of *FREE* guidance through a couple of quick phone calls can make all the difference to your ultimate success with the species. Taking that bit of assistance can result in a trouble-free experience that helps them flourish, and if you put in the work, you'll enjoy excellent outcomes and long lives with this unique animal.
Receiving professional, safe guidance on dietary changes or shifts in nutritional protocols during a rehome is critical. For that reason alone, it is a good reason to partner for free to support their success, because the last thing they need is to change diets during the stress of moving. It is sometimes assumed that a prairie dog in need of placement is already on an optimal diet, when that can be far from the case. Dietary migrations and changes can be very challenging for this species, and how you change items, in what order, and in what amounts, along with the timing of the diet shifts, can cause a host of problems if an entire history is unknown. A step-by-step plan can make a world of difference in ensuring a smooth, long-term outcome.
If you're interested in any of the placements on this website or in getting help with a placement you've discovered elsewhere that you're considering and want to ensure you have all bases covered for a smooth transition, please contact Gena Seaberg directly via Facebook Messenger, at 425-870-1729, or by email at [email protected] for assistance.
