A Puppy is Not a Christmas Present

This holiday season, remember that a puppy is a lifetime commitment, not a short-term surprise. While it might seem heartwarming to gift a furry friend under the tree, it’s important to think beyond the moment:
• Puppies require time, patience, and resources for training, care, and veterinary needs.
• A home must be ready to meet their physical, emotional, and social needs—not just on Christmas morning, but for years to come.
• Many animals given as holiday gifts sadly end up in shelters when the reality of their care sets in.

Instead, consider gifting pet-related items like books on dog care, a leash, or even a promise to adopt responsibly when the family is fully prepared. If you’re ready for a dog, choose a reputable breeder or adopt from a shelter—but only after careful thought and planning.

Give the gift of love and responsibility, not impulsivity. Let’s make sure every puppy finds a forever home where they’re truly wanted and cared for.

What are some things your dog is getting from Santa Paws this year? Comment below 👇🏻

It’s only been a few weeks since I lost my Little Bit. I didn’t think I’d be ready for another Dachshund for awhile but everything aligned for me to bring this girl home. Having Dachshunds for 24 years, it was just not right being without one.

So everyone, please meet Olive. Her name is Olivia but we are changing it to Olive. She’s a 3-year-old wirehair I’ve always wanted a wirehair but they are not easy to find which is another reason this just seemed “meant to be.”

I hope to have better pictures after she gets settled in but for now, check out her car ride home pics.

I will be out of town this week for a work training event so this page will be quiet for a few days.

🐾Indoor Enrichment Games for Dogs When It’s Too Cold Outside🐾

When chilly temperatures or bad weather keep you and your furry friend indoors, it’s a great time to engage in enriching games to keep your dog entertained and mentally stimulated. Here are some ideas:

1. Puzzle Toys: These toys challenge your dog to problem-solve for a treat reward. They come in various difficulty levels to match your dog’s skills.

2. Hide-and-Seek: Hide treats or toys around the house and encourage your dog to sniff them out. It taps into their natural hunting instincts.

3. Tug-of-War: This classic game is a great way to burn off energy in a small space.

4. Training Drills: Practice obedience commands or teach your dog new tricks. Positive reinforcement makes it fun for both of you!

5. DIY Obstacle Course: Use household items like cushions, chairs, and blankets to create a fun agility course.

Stay warm and enjoy some quality time with your dog!

Never and Benelli got a new toy yesterday. I found this Arctic Fox at TSC. I had to wait for hours to get a good picture of it because they couldn’t stop playing with it.

🎄 Dogs are for Life, Not Just for Christmas 🐾

This holiday season, let’s remember that adding a dog to your family is a lifelong commitment, not just a heartwarming gift for the moment.

While puppies may seem like the perfect surprise, they require time, love, training, and care—every single day, for years to come. Many dogs given as gifts sadly end up in shelters when the reality of pet ownership sets in.

If your family is ready for the responsibility of a dog, consider adopting from a shelter after the holidays. Otherwise, let’s focus on giving gifts that don’t involve living, breathing, and loving little lives. ❤️

Spread the word: Dogs deserve homes, not just holidays. 🐕

I always said if I got another Dachshund, his name world be Hoover for this exact reason!

🐾 What Is an Emotional Support Animal (ESA)? 🐾

You’ve probably heard the term “emotional support animal,” but what does it really mean? Here’s a quick explanation:

An ESA is a companion animal that provides comfort and support to individuals dealing with emotional or mental health challenges, such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD. Unlike service animals, ESAs are not trained to perform specific tasks, but their presence alone can offer therapeutic benefits.

Key Things to Know About ESAs:
1️⃣ No Special Training Required: ESAs don’t need specialized training like service animals, but they should be well-behaved and manageable in public spaces.
2️⃣ Legal Protections: Under the Fair Housing Act, ESAs are allowed in housing that might otherwise have pet restrictions. They are not granted public access rights like service animals.
3️⃣ Documentation: To qualify for an ESA, you need a letter from a licensed mental health professional stating the animal’s importance to your well-being.

Emotional support animals play a vital role in improving the lives of those who need them. If you or someone you know could benefit from one, consider reaching out to a mental health professional to learn more. 🐕💖

This is a brief explanation of what an ESA is, please do your own research regarding your situation and your state.
