I have been working with Heidi from the start and can attest to her sweet nature. She is very loving and kind. She loves people. She’s intelligent and learns new behaviors very quickly! I’m at a loss as to why she’s still a shelter resident…. I never advocate pets for the holidays but, knowing her stable personality, she would be the exception to that rule.

🐾 ❄️ WINTER IS COMING!!! ❄️ 🥶
Now is the time to prepare and make plans to protect your pets.
Chained, caged and confined animals are most susceptible to cold temperatures.
🐾Be sure your pet has a dry, warm place to get in out of the weather. In extreme temperatures it would be recommended to bring pets indoors, into a home or even just a barn or garage where they have a windbreak and a doghouse with bedding inside for warmth.
🐾Your pet must have access to a sturdy shelter (roof, 4 walls and a floor) and that shelter must have organic bedding (straw) not towels or blankets. If your pet is in any non-heated area like a garage or barn they still need access to shelter such as a doghouse to keep their body heat contained.
🐾 Be sure that the area your pet is housed is dry and free from standing water. A layer of straw should be spread to cover muddy spots. Being wet can cause frostbite or hypothermia.
🐾 While outdoors be sure that your pet can move around freely to generate body heat.
🐾 Stack flakes or bales of straw around your pet’s shelter to create insulation.
🐾 Be sure that the shelter is placed in the best area to block wind and weather with the opening facing away from the wind. Being placed on a certain side of a structure and right against the structure can be helpful.
🐾 If your pet has an enclosure, use tarps and straw to create windbreaks. Tightly stretch and zip-tie tarps around chain link kennels to create a barrier from wind and precipitation.
🐾 Provide constant access to fresh, unfrozen water and plenty of quality food.

🐶 We will provide a crate if you will bring your outside dog indoors during the weather!
🐶 Assistance with straw is available!

Call (859)737-0053 to request assistance!

Calling us for assistance means that we provide help with preparing your pets for the weather. If we receive a complaint from someone else and find your pets without the needed resources you may be criminally charged with animal neglect. Take action and take care of your pets.

Please avoid RAWHIDE as treats for your dog! These “treats” are extremely dangerous….

There are dangers lurking in rawhide chews that treat manufactures don’t want you to know. What are rawhide treats made from? Rawhide chews are made from the inner layer of a hide from any split hoofed animal, such as cattle and horses in the United States, water buffalo in China, Thailand and Kor...

My GSD peeps - this one’s for you. Great information on what to look for from a breeder you may want to purchase a puppy from to prevent heartbreak:
