Unfortunately, at this time of year, this becomes a regular occurrence.
These fish have been left in our doorway today with a note saying their owner had past away.
We are very understanding when it comes to situations like this. We would have given something for them.
But please don't leave things in the doorway to be left to the elements, hoping somebody will notice before it's too late.
Dont be afraid to bring them in.

BE INFORMED…… Don’t impulse buy.

Paw It Forward’s 10 𝙩𝙞𝙥𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙥𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙮 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙖 𝘽𝙤𝙬 𝙊𝙣 𝙄𝙩 🎁

Before you impulse buy a puppy for a gift, call me. Make your Decision based on rational logical choices. I will help you compartmentalize to make the right decision.

1. Your bow tied fuzzy is a 10-15+ year commitment with all the expenses including training, grooming, vetting, boarding, and surgeries & recoveries. Know this.

2. The adult owners choices are responsible for the dog’s behavior , always. Own it. Training will help you make the right choices.

3. Crate training is a must and non-negotiable. Don’t get caught up in the fairies and rainbows experts. You’ll regret it.

4. Know the genetics. Even hard core breeds can do well as pets when they come from GOOD breeding and bloodlines. Bad genetics are difficult to clean up, even with training.

5. Puppies do NOT need 100% free roam, lots of dogs, people and over socialization. They need you. Over expose, and enjoy a dog that pays no attention to you.

6. Ask yourself ahead of time, is anyone going to be allergic? Expecting a baby? Planning on moving? Live in a no pets allowed apartment? Works long hours? Already has a dog reactive dog? These are the “reasons” dogs are given up RIGHT AFTER THE NEW YEAR. Plan ahead.

7. Know the breed. There’s lots of breed information available online. Know the pros and cons for your lifestyle. For example, a border collie or cattle dog won’t make a good family companion with kids. That Cane Corso isn’t going to be stranger friendly.

8. Drop the “my puppy must love everything and everyone” expectations. Most dogs are selective. It’s normal.

9. Steer clear of MOST free roam only daycares. They will expect your puppy to never defend itself, never growl, never nip and love everyone and everything. All of this, without proper evaluation. This sets up dogs to bully or be bullied as the “norm. It’s a breeding ground for dog reactivity. If not me, Let me refer you to a good one in the area.

10. The leash is your friend. Be their energy management system. What you allow to happen wlll happen. Bad behavior is YOUR choice to allow.

Research! Adopt safe adoptable dogs or invest in a good reputable breeder and good training now to save you a lot of money and heartache later. I’m here to help 🐾
