🛇 Use your Manners! 🛇
The Sniff test - Stop doing that!
The sniff test - a badly engrained habit that society has been taught, without a clear understanding of what they're actually doing.
🚩When you reach out towards a dog, you are using body pressure AT them, giving them no time to assess whether you are safe & whether they require further investigation to pick up your information. You are forcing an interaction of a relationship that hasn't had time to develop. To some dogs, this is quite rude & the reason a lot of dogs snap at or bite people. This can cause alot of behavioral issues because of layered stress due to forced interactions.
🚩If they are on lead, they have no where to go if they are sensitive to spacial pressure, so can end up shutting down, shying away or snapping at your hand so you back off. This is an example of how a dog is now using pressure to turn off pressure & make you back off so they aren't so stressed.
🚩People think by offering your hand it can give the dog time to sniff to know you're friendly... they can sniff without being forced to sniff your hand.Their noses are far more superior than ours & they don't need close contact forced upon them to smell you.
🚩Some dogs might not want to know you. You have no relationship with them and that's perfectly fine. They aren't your dog so you don't need to touch them or steal pats for your own satisfaction.
🤔 If you are meeting a dog, what should you do?
⚠Ask the owner if you can interact with their dog. Not all people want strangers touching their dogs. Especially strangers who you are unlikely to see again.
⚠Stand up straight & relaxed, with your hands at your side.
⚠Ignore the dog & talk to the owner.
⚠Don't stare at the dog & don't try to force an interaction by going in for a pat. If the dog wants to know you, it will come up to you & sniff around. Usually they will move away & then come back for a second sniffathon. Some dogs will bunt your hands & wag their tails, which are good signs that you're likely an accepted new friend. Give them a few slow pats down their back (NOT THEIR HEAD) & then stop. Is the dog happy? Has it accepted your interaction? This will determine whether you can give it more pats.
🐶This is a more stress free option for dogs & a reason why in consultations we can develop a good level of trust, especially with fearful dogs & aggressive dogs, without a bunch of negative side effects from forced interactions.

🤔 The MOST important details regarding a food...
legally NOT ALLOWED to be printed on a package.
🐾 Is meat the first ingredient because it’s mostly bone content? To what calcium and phosphorus levels am I exposing my pet?
🐾 Since the cap on Copper levels have been removed, how much is the company putting my pet’s food?
🐾 Have they split the ingredients, and the fourth ingredient is actually the same weight as the first?
🐾 What other brands are made in these facilities?
🐾 On what evidence-based practices do these companies formulate their foods?
🐾 Are batches tested by third-party independent labs prior to being sent out to store shelves?
🐾 What’s the digestibility of the food?
🐾 ... you get the idea 👍
This is what we do!!
Come see us. We’d love the chance to earn your business. 😊

We are looking for fosters for critical care cats. Blanka and Simon are declining and while they are not ready to go just yet and they are being kept comfortable with supportive care we would really like to see them outside of the shelter setting.
We know that they would be much more comfortable in a home, if just for a short time.
If you can open your heart and your home to either other these boys, we would be eternally grateful.
They deserve to have this time to be loved and doted on.
Please reach out if you can help. They are both very affectionate .

Cat Tip of the Day: Is your cat overweight?
For those of you who still may have questions about grain free diets and dilated cardiomyopathy; remember there is nothing magical about grains. It seems to have more to do with ingredients like lentils, chickpeas, peas put into dry dog foods. Try your best to avoid those.

Are you spring cleaning 🧽 ?
If so, we need your used linens!
Tablecloths, towels, sheets, pillowcases, baby blankets, comforters, mattress covers , bathroom rugs ... we’ll take them all!
We do not have anywhere to store extra pillows so we cannot take those at this time .
We have drop off bins located outside of the shelter at all times.
You are also welcome to stop in the lobby between the hours of 9-4 daily.
Thank you for your help !
Happy Cleaning 🧹
