Luca is looking for a forever home!!

Luca is a German shepherd/ Australian shepherd mix puppy up for adoption through Australian Shepherds Furever a 501c3 non profit

Luca is an amazing, sweet hearted dog, but due to some genetic anxieties, he is looking for an understanding and experienced home. Luca struggles with stranger danger, and fear based reactivity. He often feels very overwhelmed when meeting new people. He will need time to adjust to his new family, and may not want to cuddle right away. Once he does warm up, he is a real couch potato and love bug. I have been working with Luca and his foster family to help him overcome some of these anxieties, and be prepared for this next step in his life. Its hard not to meet Luca and fall in love, he has piercing eyes that look right through you, and is so gentle once he learns he is safe. He’s an extremely trainable puppy, and just needs an owner with patience, and the willingness to learn.
If you or someone you know is interested in this beyond sweet baby, please contact Australian Shepherds Furever.
If you aren’t interested in adopting Luca, share his story to help him find his forever family!

This new year, I would like to highlight a pet parent that needs the communities help. Toulouse is experiencing serious health complications, and if his owners can’t afford the vet care soon he may unfortunately not make it.
THIS IS HIS GO FUND ME LINK

please feel free to share if you are not in a position to donate. No one should have to start the year with this kind of grief. Here’s what Toulouse’s owner had to say about the situation.

“Toulouse, aka Goose is a happy, healthy cat in many ways. If you met him today, he’d purr when you walk in the door, sit in your lap, and be your best friend. He spends his days playing with his toys, watching the birds outside and settles into bed with his parents every night to snuggle. You’d never guess that Goose needs thousands of dollars of veterinary care every month, but his rare, complicated bladder issues have brought him from specialist to specialist, MRIs and surgeries, and the bills are racking up to the tune of thousands of dollars. For those who love him, we feel it’s not his time to go - and vets have even said he could live many more years. This is a nightmare scenario for any loving pet parent, if you were in our shoes, I know you’d do anything to save him. He is a loving and energetic cat, will you help save his life, and get him the treatment he needs?”

Off leash dogs are a huge point of anxiety for a lot of pet owners, especially those with reactive dogs.

It doesn’t matter how friendly your dog is, if the other dog is frightened or defensive. Keep your dog on leash if they don’t have a solid re call, and even if they do have a solid re call, follow the rules at leash only spaces! Your dog does not need to be off leash for every fun adventure.
If you are walking a dog off leash and they do have solid re call, its always polite to leash your dog while others pass, especially if they have their own dog. This lets the other people know your dog is under control and will ease any kind of anxiety the other humans may have had about crossing your path.

Hoping to let your dog off leash one day but know they can’t handle the freedom? Contact us to learn about free dog training consultations.

Proud is an understatement for Mills! They have been working through some heavy leash reactivity, but mills has one amazing mom. She has been able to pick up the skills needed to help mills as if she’s a professional! Mills definitely still has a long way to go, but shes a very different dog than the mills I met during consultation, and I can’t wait to see how much further her training will go!

⚠️ Avoid these dangerous rawhides that can cause intestinal blockages, poisoning from chemical residue, and choking. Especailly the festive ones with brightly colored paper glued to them. ✨Instead, opt for such as:
🐶 Marrow Bones: bones that contain soft and nutrient-rich marrow in the center
🐶 Bully Sticks: single-ingredient chew, softer than most bones
🐶 No-Hides: like a rawhide, but without the toxic ingredients
🐶 Himalayan Cheese Chews: long-lasting, limited ingredient chew
🐶 Sweet Potato Chews: plant-based, medium-lasting chew

It’s not magic, just training.

I often see people marvel at well trained dogs and say the owner must be so lucky, or its magic the dog is so well behaved. Its not luck or magic though, it’s something that is achievable to most dog owners through hard work and dedication.

FAMILY HAS BEEN FOUND! Thank you!

Hey yall! Found this dog in the fulton hill neighborhood and I’m looking for her family. Shes a very tiny pit mix, and extremely friendly. Shes wearing a blue collar with a PawScout tag on it, but the tag is dead so I cant view her family’s information. Please share so I can help bring her home! Shes clearly well loved and missed.

Never seen a dog smile like Basa smiles 🥹
Its the most rewarding feeling watching a dogs confidence boost as they go through training, and Basa is definitely feeling like the best version of herself after her 6 lessons.
