Dixon’s FIP diagnosis once might have spelled the end, but after taking part in clinical trials for a treatment, her future is looking bright.

🐾 Join the Doggy-Day Out Program from Santa Paula Animal Rescue Center! Give our shelter dogs the adventure of a lifetime and help us find them their forever homes. Take a furry friend out for the day, capture amazing pictures, and provide us with valuable insights about their experience outside the shelter.

🌟 Spend quality time with one of our lovable shelter dogs, and create unforgettable memories together. Whether you're exploring local parks, going for a hike, or simply enjoying a leisurely stroll, our dogs will appreciate the chance to stretch their legs, breathe fresh air, and feel the warmth of a loving companion.

No control
Damage throats

Retractable leashes allow your pet to travel a great distance away from you, and dangerous situations can occur in the blink of an eye. For instance, an aggressive dog can escape a yard and reach your pet many seconds faster than you can retract the leash. The reaction time between a retractable leash and a traditional leash differ greatly.

DON’T FORCE ME TO BE SOCIAL!
Do we like everyone we meet? Do we all enjoy socialising and spending time with lots of different people? I certainly don’t and refer to myself as a “caninetrovert” – a person that much prefers to spend time with dogs rather than people. Maybe I’m a little different to the “norm”, but be that as it may, we are all individuals with different personality styles and social preferences.

Some of us are extroverts, gaining energy from interacting with people; some of us introverts, who find people draining and need alone time to recharge our social batteries and some of us are somewhere in between.

If we acknowledge that we are all different in this way, we also need to acknowledge and accept that our dogs are similar.

They could be overly affectionate or fiercely independent, approachable or nervous, energetic or laid back, confident or cautious, sociable, tolerant, selective or reactive.

We may be really disappointed when our dogs turn out not to be the socialite we expected them to be.

Some may even see this as a behaviour problem that needs to be “fixed”. Sometimes it can be improved, especially if the cause is from a negative experience, but genetics, breed tendencies, individual personalities, health and age all contribute to tolerance levels and sociability.

Accept your dog for who they are, allow them to choose whether they want to be sociable or not, respect their choices and never force an interaction that your dog is not comfortable with.
