Hello! :wave: My husband and I have recently moved to a new apartment in a new city. For the past two months, we have been regular volunteers at the local shelter where we met (and are quite taken with) a sweet terrier mix dog who is in serious need of an ear hematoma surgery (the thing won't...

Hello! :wave: I'm happy to join a community who loves dogs as much as I do. I've had dogs all my life. My husband and I recently relocated and are now regular volunteers at our local shelter and we're actually thinking about taking in our first foster. I look forward to reading the experience...

I've been reading a fair bit on clicker / marker training, and thought I'd try it on some of the shelter dogs where I volunteer. But then it struck me - if I click for one dog - won't the others, within hearing range, expect a reward as well? (Given they were 'conditioned' to react to the same...

I go to a private college in a quiet little suburb of Wisconsin. My school has a really, really good reputation for student clubs - you can start nearly anything fairly easily and with really nice funding. Just yesterday, I found an abandoned, crying kitten in a bush downtown and successfully...

Hello, My best friend got a dog from a shelter about 9 months ago, her name is Coco and I think she is about 4 or 5 years old. She adjusted very well to the new house and people but sometimes she growls at my best friend. Coco seems to love my best friends sisters and mom but she isn't as...

We just rescued an 80lb German Shepher/Rottweiler mix, Louie. He's a great dog, or at least he wants to be. He is trying to learn to trust us but we have a few issues: 1. He's no longer allowed back to the vet until he gets used to a muzzle. It only took one trip for that rule to come into...

Hi everyone, I'm new here:wave:. My boyfriend and I adopted a puppy this past week and we were told she is a catahoula/bull mastiff mix, but were not so sure- so I thought some outside opinions might give us some insight. On to the pics- here's Charlie She's rather difficult to get an...

Me and my wife have been talking about wanting a dog for a long time. we both had dogs throughout our childhoods, my wife a Siberian Husky, and me a German Shepherd, Labrador, Chow mix. We both prefer big dogs but our apartment complex limits dogs to 25 pounds. We finally had a little time so...

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 signed up today after lurking for several days while my wife and I sought out a new dog to join our family. We both agreed that we wanted to rescue a young dog, and found a match with a private rescue after a few heart breaking visits to some New York City municipal kill-shelters. It was...

My friend lives in a smallish town in Texas. She went to her local shelter to walk dogs with her brother, and they met a sweet pup they both really liked and wanted to adopt. The shelter took the dog's temperature and sure enough, he had a fever. Instead of letting my friend adopt the dog, and...
