🆘 WE ARE FULL 🆘

This is the worst I think I’ve seen it since I started volunteering and today as I gather my treats, bundle up and get ready to head to the kennel for the first time in a while, my stomach is in knots.

I am sad to meet so many hopeful faces just waiting for their people to come for them. I dread having to think about who we could possibly lose because there just isn’t any more room. I’m nervous. I’m angry at their owners and honestly, a big part of me wishes I could just sit home and pretend this isn’t reality- but it is.

This isn’t a drill. This isn’t us exaggerating to any degree. We are full. We have large dogs in small cages, owners that have called but not shown up and more dogs incoming. Where can we put them?! Rescues are full, other shelters are full and dogs just keep coming in with few adoptions. We need this county to show up today. We need owners, adopters, shares, prayers, good vibes and whatever else you can offer. Please help us help these dogs. They didn’t ask to be here 😢

The kennel is open from 10-4:30. Our awesome staff and volunteers will be there making the dog’s days great and hoping to see you. Please come visit.

Managing a two-dog household can come with unique challenges. Here are a couple of common problems and how to address them:

1. Resource Guarding:
• Problem: One or both dogs may start guarding food, toys, or attention from you, which can lead to tension or fights.
• Solution: Feed them separately and provide individual time for each dog. Avoid giving high-value toys unless supervised, and work on desensitizing resource guarding through positive reinforcement training.
2. Sibling Rivalry or Overexcited Play:
• Problem: Dogs may compete for dominance or attention, or their play can become too rough, leading to injuries or stress.
• Solution: Establish clear boundaries and reinforce calm behavior. Train them to take breaks during play using commands like “enough” or “calm.” Monitor interactions, and step in if play escalates into aggression.

Consistent training and fair attention can help prevent these issues from escalating.
