HELP!!! We just adopted a 2 year old shih tzu named Scout. She is very loving and cuddles every chance she gets. I'm married with no kids in the house so it's my wife and I. Scout has become attached to me meaning she follows me around, chooses to sit with me and will wait for me to sit down so...

Sorry this will be kinda long, but I hope I can get some insight... My wife and I have two dogs, a 12yr old Puggle and a Boxer who just turned 1yr. The puggle was never really one to play (nor could she keep up if she wanted to) with the boxer. She was just diagnosed with arthritis and when...

Hi All! My husband and I have a 7 month old GSD/mix named Charlie who came from Mississippi. We got him when he was about 3 months old. He is growing fast and has adjusted to moving from an apartment to a house. He loves the bigger space. He is crate trained and is just goofy all around. He...

Hello everyone! My name is Chaela, and my husband and I just adopted some sort of German shepherd/collie mix (we think). She's about 5 months old and absolutely adorable. Training her has been rough so far, but we're doing our best and I'm hoping to get some help/tips from others on here...

Figured I'd start up a thread to keep track and share Claus' growth and adventures. Enjoy! photos above taken Dec. 9th 2015. First week home & 2 months old.

Hello. I have three dogs. I have a Samoyed, Dachshund, and a newly adopted mutt. He is the only male. We have had him for about a week and his name is Ozzy. My Samoyed's name is Athena, and the Dachshund is Dogmeat. Ever since welcoming in Ozzy, he only plays with Dogmeat. I figured it's...

Hey, all! I'm a new member here. I'm looking to talk with other people whose dogs are their babies :) We have 9 1/2 month old AKC, Champion Sired, male English Bulldog named Bentley. He is a trip! Typical Bulldog :) He is our first baby. We had his Daddy named Kutter, who is my in-law's, live...

My husband and I recently adopted a 17-month old wirehaired griffon. He came from another family who had taught him the basic commands along with some hunting training. He's very submissive and wants to please. Our 4-year old Kerry Blue has not taken kindly to a new boy in the house. He growls...

Five days ago, my boyfriend and I adopted a 5 y/o Min Pin that we found in our local newspaper. After talking to the now former owner(who turned out to be a byb of chihuahuas [yes, it pissed me off to find that out] and they didn't want her because she wasn't a chihuahua), I decided to adopt her...

Hi there, long story coming. We live in an area where it seems people drop their unwanted pets. We have found a couple cats on our doorstep, but due to allergies couldn't keep them. Then we found a black chihuahua mix. He seemed to fit in well with our family, and the kids (7 of them) had...

Here are my two babies Patch and Ozzy. We just adopted Ozzy so I don't have many photos of him. As soon as my camera comes in I'll have more photos. My baby girl Patch (black and white) is a 7 year old rescue (Unsure of breed, she's a mutt). We rescued her when she was 12 weeks old after she...

My husband and I just adopted Lily, a beautiful 2-year-old golden retriever mix from our local shelter. She's insanely sweet and calm--no jumping, no barking ever--but we are having major problems with her making escape attempts from the yard when we aren't looking. When we ARE there, she...

I just adopted an adult stray dog. Yes, I know, that's a pretty bad statement to put in in "First Time Dog Owner" forum, but well... The dog has very few problems at the moment. He doesn't know most basic commands, like sit or come. He pulls a leash, but only a bit. But on the other side, it...

My parents recently adopted a 12 year toy poodle from a shelter. They already have an 8 year old toy poodle mix. The older dog is very quiet and cuddly with people, but from the moment they brought him home he's been growling and snapping at their other dog. The older dog doesn't have any...

My boyfriend and I adopted a 2 year old Boston Terrier. She's a great little dog and she seems to have been trained somewhat in her previous life. The problem is... She is clearly trained to eliminate outside... She runs to the door after eating so we know she has to go. But we need to paper...

I have a newly adopted 2 year old chihuahua mix and he is very quiet and doesn't do much besides lay around. I'm fine with that, the only problem is that he doesn't eat or drink and I've had him for a WEEK. I'm really beginning to worry about his health, he'll eat table food every once in a...

I adopted a 1 year 4 month old lab/retriever. He has been amazing so far and we have a serious bond. Around the house he is an awesome and does everything I ask. He will come when I tell him to and he will stay when I tell him to. He loves me so much that he follows me were ever I go in the...

Hi all! I adopted my first mixed breed dog from a shelter in Southeast Ohio about three years ago, and I know that his mother was a Golden Retriever (she looked to be pretty close to full bred). But I don't know what else he is. His name is Tom, and he weighs about 100 lbs. I was thinking...

This week's StubbyDog of the week belongs to one of our very own volunteers, Ann Coleman. Here is a bit of what Ann has to share about how her and Stella got together: "I really believe that Stella was fated to be my dog. I had wanted a dog for a long time and had come to the conclusion that...
