Stryker update: here is an update from Strykers foster., he is great in a crate at night as long as it’s covered and is perfect in the crate in the car.

He is FANTASTIC when he is out of his crate and only wants to be with her. He follows her everywhere or will go lay down and watch her from a far.

So har he has been out with female dog, and he does fine. He doesn’t know how to interact with other dogs. He is not aggressive just insecure, so he will need some work building his confidence, and slow introductions to new dogs.

He is great on leash, recall is great but to be safe they keep him on the long line as he can’t be full trusted off leash yet.

Overall he is a super sweet boy who would do amazing in an active pet home. He has very low drive to do anything he just wants to be with his person and hang out. Low you drive and doesn’t really like treats or food. Very chill boy…

He’s been great with everyone he has met so far. He has not met any children yet or cats, no real reactivity to much of anything.

We were told he would bark at other dogs when he sees them but so far we have not seen that fr him and he is around a lot of dogs all day long.

We did switch his food from what he was on. He had hot spots from itching, soft and runny stools but is now popping healthy p**p and no longer itching.

If anyone is interested in meeting this boy please let us know. We can schedule a meet and greet when I am back home later this week. Foster applications are pinned in the FB page. Enjoy the cute pictures.

Thank you 🙏 to our foster for taking care of this handsome boy. We can’t do any of this with out our amazing fosters.

Everyone please welcome Stryker, he is a surrender coming into the rescue tonight. He is a 4 year old Belgian mix, who knows his basic obedience. We are bringing him in to have him evaluated, and once we have more information we will update this current post. We will be going through the proper application process, to find him a forever home. He will have to be neutered as part of the adoption process. As always we are always looking for fosters if you’re interested please 🙏 let us know.

NOTE: This handsome by is already neutered, and is up to date on all his shots, he is a LOVE BUG. More updates to follow as we get to know this guy!

I got to meet up with our foster Amanda and sweet sweet Lexi!!! Lexi has very good OB, her temperament is outstanding. She is curious of her surroundings, but social to strangers. She is absolutely going to make a great companion to her forever home. We are so happy to have been able to save this sweet girl.

No rawhide!!!

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1997171460361963&id=589493424463114

Heads up dog lovers! A dog-friendly warning regarding the Xmas treats many stores are now starting to stock for dogs for the holidays.

Many of these so-called treats end up with the dog "enjoying" some time in a veterinary surgery over Christmas.

The vast majority of these rawhide products and treats come from China, where there are vastly reduced safety standards to those we rely on in the U.S.

The chews are made from cattle or horse hides and their journey starts with the hides being soaked in a toxic sodium sulfide to remove the hair and fat. More chemicals are used in order to split the hide into layers which is then washed with hydrogen peroxide to give the white "pure" look and remove the rancid smell. You may know hydrogen peroxide is commonly used to make dogs vomit up poisons but it can cause lasting damage to intestines.

Now come the pretty festive colors and the glue to form cute shapes. On testing, these chews have shown traces of arsenic, mercury, chromium, and formaldehyde! Yeesh - you would never knowingly feed these toxins to yourself or your dogs, right?

If that wasn't bad enough, these "treats" regularly cause intestinal blockages, poisoning from chemical residue and choking. The chews are slippery when wet and are near impossible to get hold of to save a choking dog.

Leave them in the shop where they belong or if some well-meaning person buys them for your dog store them safely away from your dog and then dispatch in the garbage bin!
