Polo. This man has all of the love in the world to give. He is pure joy. He is a special one. He has been through the wringer but without all of his trials, he wouldn’t have made it to us! Polo is a beautiful boy, inside and out. Although he is learning how to properly socialize at school, we believe he would be happiest and most successful as a single dog. Below are some dating facts about him! If he is a dog who could be a good match for you and your lifestyle, don’t hesitate to reach out and fill out our adoption application (Pit Bull experience required) that can be found in bio!

UPDATE: SAVED
See you tomorrow Polo💙

—————————

I need a foster before tomorrow or else his timeline comes to an end.

We know he is great with all people/children ✅
He has been attacked in the past by another dog so he is being labeled as “only dog” however I will evaluate tomorrow and get a more educated assessment on him
For now, I am looking for a no dog household at least until we know him better

All expenses paid for by my 501(c)3

Help me save his life. Please.

Rolex,

Through thick and thin, trial and error, adversity and diversity, you persevered. From the beginning, you were willing to learn, were receptive to direction, and were trusting in protection. Your calm demeanor and joyful personality shined through it all.

I want to thank every person that has stepped up for this boy, especially who poured her entire heart, soul, time, energy, and love into him. You taught him how to live in a home, helped him overcome challenges, and prepared him for the real world. You were his greatest stepping stone, and we are both forever indebted to you.

Liz, you fell in love with his picture before you even met him, and that filled me with hope. You followed every piece of direction to a tee to make the transition to your home be as smooth and successful as possible, and absolutely nailed your F2A. He had the most positive experience in moving homes and people and it was all because of you.

Liz and Dave, congratulations on your newest pack member. I want to officially WELCOME YOU TO THE GREATEST PACK OF ALL TIME.

Rolex, see you at school, bud! I love you, and I am so, so proud of you.

I have recently been licensed to run my MA LIC. #0389 dog (and occasional cat) rescue Saving With Bria Inc., but in order for me to continue helping and saving more dogs, I need fosters. I can’t pull any more dogs from shelters until I have secured foster homes.

If you are interested in being a foster for SWB, please head to the link below and fill out our foster form so you can be ready to go. Everything is completed covered by the rescue. All you need to do is open your home and follow our very simply and straight forward rules.

Thank you in advance. 🙏🏼

Please click the link to complete this form.

The time is here! We we begin to expand in more ways than one, we are also looking for our next team member(s). Expanding is so much more than what it sounds like. For us, it means finding someone who is going to add value, light, support, love, care, and positivity to both our team and the community that we serve.

We are looking for someone who will always put the dogs’ needs and safety first, someone who will always offer support and respect for those who come to us to learn, someone who will always provide positivity and patience to those around them, and someone who will always lead with love and kindness.

Finding someone that is going to represent TWB as not only a small business, but as a community-focused entity that provides a feeling of security, a safe space of vulnerability, and a “home away from home” type of environment is of the utmost importance to us.

As far as the training, education, and experience goes? We will provide that! ☑️

If you think the Pack Day Train handler position could be for you, head over to our link in the bio and fill out the application.

We can’t wait to grow for you and with you, Pack. As always, thank you for the trust. 🙏🏼🔐

I am in desperate need of fosters!!!! PLEASE message me if you are interested and available ASAP. Foster to adopt is an option as well if you are in the market for a dog. Fostering costs you NOTHING. Everything is funded. Dogs are able to come to school throughout the week to my facility in Peabody as well. It will truly be the easiest foster experience possible. I just need people willing to open up their homes for dogs in need while we help find their forever home.

Please reach out/share this post if you or anyone you know may be interested. I will pair dogs up with people and their living situation accordingly. Thank you 🙏🏼

All I want for my birthday this year is for us to come together and help raise funds for one of our own. Please consider donating. Colleen is one of the best people on this planet. If you can’t donate, please share. Thank you 🙏🏼

Hi everyone, We have a pack member who needs us more than ever. She needs support, pray… Bria Tiro needs your support for Supporting a Pack Member in Need

Tomorrow is the day.

If all pans out, I will have the pleasure of giving these two their freedom ride; a one way ticket out of the shelter that they have been in for 4.5 years and 2+ years.

I will be getting to know them to learn their ins, outs, likes, dislikes, quirks, characteristic, tendencies, and most importantly…what their ideal forever home looks like.

Every day I am more and more thankful for your ongoing support, loyalty, and love. I never take one second of this life for granted. I pray that Dough Boy and Bella Thorne are two of many who I get to help and give a second chance at life.

Above all, I thank God for the gift He has given me and for the life I get to live where I can give back every day to the animal that gives me motivation, desire, and purpose: The Dog 🤍

Auggie: 1.5yr old
Owned since: 9 weeks old
Currently working on: new obedience positions and continued off leash work

Drei: 10mo old
Owned since: 7mo old
Currently working on: relevancy, building focus, dog and environmental reactivity, continued relationship building, spatial awareness, improving pressure/release skills, commands

Ash: 5yr old
Owned since: 4mo old
Currently working on: quicker response to commands when in an adrenalized state and always perfecting recall

We are always working. We are always looking to improve. I always hold myself accountable. My dogs are always held accountable. I am always aware of when I’m either going against my own rules or not working as hard as I should be. I am always aware of when I am touching my dogs because I know the advantages and disadvantages of timely interaction. I always know where my dogs are and what they’re doing, esp Drei, because it is my responsibility.

If I don’t like something, I do it over until I do. If something keeps going wrong, I go back to basics until it starts going right. If I mess up, I get mad at myself and then I work on fixing it. If my dogs mess up, I figure out what caused them to mess up and work on reversing it.

It’s constant. Training my dogs is constant. When I am not directly working them, I am aware that they are still taking in information. They are still learning from me. It never stops. Training doesn’t just shut off. It is not just “hey I’m going outside to train the dog for an hour.” I am training every second that my dogs live with me. It is forever. It is every day. It is every hour. It is every minute. It is every moment.

Training never stops, even if you do.

💯💯

My dogs are house broken. They don’t have accidents in the house or destroy s**t. They’re not destructive or deemed “unsafe” without supervision. They’re confident in themselves and they don’t have separation anxiety. So, they don’t need crates then, right?

Pfffft! If you know me, you know that has WRONG written all over it. But let’s also take note, my dogs don’t have those issues BECAUSE they are crate trained.

Reason #826 why crate training makes MORE LIFE more possible for your dog(s):

Vacation 👉🏼 new spaces 👉🏼 safe zones

My dogs’ crates are at the top of my packing list when we travel together. Their crates offer them comfort, safety, and familiarity in new places. Their crates give them a space to rest after exercise and to hang out during down time. Their crates allow their minds and bodies to be safeguarded from the unknown.

Imagine going on vacation and not having a bed to sleep in? Or how about walking into a hotel room and not having any doors between your room and the hallway? Or what about going to an Airbnb and it is missing an entire bedroom?

Without their crates, my dogs wouldn’t have the healthy minds that they do. Without their crates, they wouldn’t have the decision making skills that they do. Without their crates, they wouldn’t be able to center themselves like they do. Without their crates, they wouldn’t have the balance that they do. Without their crates, I wouldn’t have their love, trust, and respect….like I do.

Your dog doesn’t outgrow their crate due to behavior or due to size, just like you don’t outgrow your bedroom due to development or due to age.

It just grows with you.

Don’t deprive your dog of the pillar of all boundaries, safety, and possibilities.

Crate train your dog.

Our bond is undeniable, but our work to get there is unrecognized and often under appreciated.

When I am walking him off lead in public areas, I don’t want you touching him not because he is reactive or aggressive, but because it has taken me 14 months to get to this level of skill, focus, and relationship.

When I tell you “no” while you go to stick your hand in his face when we are working, I am not being rude, I am simply protecting my time, patience, and work.

When I thank you for asking to touch him but I do not approve your request, I am not being stuck up. I am simply protecting my relationship, my dog’s mental and emotional state, and his level of comfort.

I own a South African Boerboel. He is an African Mastiff who was originally bred to defend and protect. Guardian breeds are purposely bred to be suspicious and act accordingly. There has to be rules.

Although he (now) allows people in his space who I pick and choose to be in his space, that does not mean just anyone is fair game.

If I don’t do it for him, he will tell them himself. 9/10 times I make the call so he doesn’t have to. But while he matures and his self confidence grows, 1/10 times I will allow him to tell them himself.

How does he communicate that he does not want his space to be invaded? First, he lowers his head slightly. Second, he maintains eye contact. Third, he growls. Fourth, he will either retreat toward me if the person does not read his signals, or he will slowly step forward as the person retreats. Instinct. Defend and protect.

Although he rarely needs to communicate his comfort levels on his own, there is a confidence that I have worked very hard to build and strengthen in him.

Self confidence doesn’t get picked on in the animal kingdom. A strong minded animal doesn’t get targeted in the animal kingdom. The stronger I train his mind to be while simultaneously training our relationship built on trust & respect, the closer we get to his full potential & the less challenges we have in this life together.

I don’t train my dogs to be friendly. I train them to be social. I train them to be aware. I train them to avoid conflict. I train them how to be, not how to act.

To: The TWB Pack

You are the best part of my every day. You are loved, respected, recognized, and supported.

Every time I feel like I couldn’t love this life any more than I do, I fall even deeper.

Thank you for the trust, the love, the bond, and the community that YOU have built for me, for you, for your dog, and for every one within this pack.

To Nicole and Erin, you two are my soulmates. TWB wouldn’t be a quarter of what it is without you. I am your biggest fan. I love you.

LETS KEEP GROWING, LOVING, DOING, CONNECTING 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

From: Mine to yours 🫶🏼
