Help us find Raven 🐦⬛ a beautiful cane corso mix puppy a great home. She is very gentle mannered, learns quickly and has done excellent with the other dogs in the home. She’s available at Guilford County Animal Services
Tonight we had the pleasure of working with Otis and his awesome foster mom. Long story short, Otis got put in some situations that didn’t set him up for success and he kind of got lost in the mix. BUT…this dog is so smart and affectionate, all he needs is structure and consistency. Otis blew us away at how fast he picked up on training. all he wants is to snuggle on the couch with his humans. He’s available for adoption ASAP or he’ll have to go into boarding again. He will need to be the only animal in the home for now. Please spread the word or DM us for more info!
A little midweek humor 🤣
This is my new foster puppy, Neo! As his foster this little darling will have socialization to both dogs, cats, chickens and a parrot 🦜. He’s just a pup, so we’re working on manners and potty training. He’s pure puppy love, please share, I want him to find the best home! If interested please PM me! 🐾❤️

Herding and guardian dogs are FASCINATING , and this video is such a cool and accurate depiction of what these dogs are designed to do. My purpose in sharing this is just to drive home the point of doing research when you’re picking a breed. Working dogs want, no NEED to work! This goes for any herding dog, shepherd, Great Pyrenees, malinois,etc. But man are they amazing! They have very specific needs!
Some shelter animals take time to warm up and decompress, but we can tell you from experience, it’s so worth it ❤️🐾
We highly recommend checking out this site. So much fantastic information about your pets behavior! 🫶🏼
Supercharge your relationship with your dog using renowned dog trainer Victoria Stilwell's Positively ecosystem of online courses, articles, podcast episodes and videos.
Absolutely! When welcoming a new pet in your home, things are never rainbows and butterflies! All pets in the household need time to get to know one another in a managed environment.

I’m researching the validity of smart plugs emitting high frequency sounds, but if your animal is exhibiting anxious behaviors out of know where, doesn’t hurt to check your electronics
PSA: We adopted our dog, Rowdy, from the shelter 5 years ago. He was already an adult dog, so we estimate he is about 11 or 12 years old at this point. I love this dog. He is the sweetest soul and my BFF. For the past week or so he hasn’t been acting like himself. He licked a raw spot on his foot. He was panting constantly. He was pacing. Sunday morning, the pacing and panting got so bad, and I was REALLY nervous that there was something seriously wrong with him. For 45 minutes, he panted like crazy and constantly paced back and forth. He was keeping his tail tucked down all the time. His ears were pinned back. He would not settle down and he wouldn’t eat. We tried everything. I ended up giving him a trazadone that he takes sometimes when he goes to the groomer. It seemed to take a little bit of the edge off, but not much. He still wouldn’t eat and still wouldn’t settle. I took off work on Monday so I could take him to the vet. We did bloodwork and x-rays. Knowing he is a senior dog, I was trying to prepare myself for the worst case scenario. I was glad to see his bloodwork was great except for some elevated liver enzymes. The x-rays showed he was a little backed up but no major issues. He got an anti-nausea injection and some Gabapentin to help with some tenderness in his back and to hopefully help keep him calm. When we got home, he was ok for a little bit, but eventually started pacing and panting again. We walked around the neighborhood for a long time and he used the bathroom a lot. He seemed pretty happy about that and was in good spirits until we got home and he refused to come back in the house. Every time I took him out that evening, he would hunker down like he didn’t want to come back in the house. When my vet called and I gave her the update, she suggested there may be some new electronic device in the house that was emitting a high frequency noise that is hurting his ears. We had just put new smart outlets in the house about a week ago. His pacing and panting were worse when the lamps were on, so I unplugged all the smart outlets. He stopped panting, stopped pacing, and ate his food. His tail was even up and wagging again. When I plugged the smart outlets all back in and asked Alexa to turn on the lamps, he immediately started panting and pacing again. My husband used an app to test the frequency of the smart outlets. It was off the charts. We've left the outlets unplugged for two days and have confirmed that it is definitely the smart outlets that are causing his stress and discomfort. He's back to being a totally normal dog now. I really thought this was the end for Rowdy based on the way he was acting. I am so thankful for Dr. Newell at BoonesCreek AnimalHospital for figuring out this simple solution. If your pets are exhibiting similar symptoms, you may want to consider checking your electronics first. I cannot express how relieved I am that he is ok now. 😭♥️🐶
As the owner of 2 pittie mixes, I felt the need to acknowledge the ban on bullies in the UK. There seems to be little talk of it here in the US, but my heart can’t help but feel heavy and sick that tomorrow thousands of dogs will be euthanized due to their breed alone. Not their behavior on an individual basis, but perfectly sweet, healthy, intelligent sentient beings. As a dog owner, trainer and lover, I am so sad about the heartbreak about to ensue. Say a prayer and stay aware.

My little rescue pup starting chasing the vaccum this morning, and it made me cry…tears of joy 🥹 Why you ask? It’s such an annoying behavior! But considering where she came from and how far she’s come, her little personality quirks and being comfortable mean more than having a behaviorally perfect dog. So this is your reminder to be patient and lenient with your shelter pet. Have reasonable expectations of them; they’ve been abandoned and traumatized and it’s not the end of the world if weird or more undesirable behaviors reflect that ❤️🐾
If you’re needing to give your dog a little socialization, take them shopping!

Too funny, who can relate!? Our message here is that not all dogs need a huge fenced in yard to be happy. They want to be where you are. Food for thought if not having a fenced in yard is holding you back from adopting your new best friend ❤️🐾
