Training & Support
Dogs come from many backgrounds and may need training, time, and patience. We suggest learning about a dog's breed or mix to be sure it fits your family. Moving to a new home can be stressful for dogs. Use the Rule of 3 to help them adjust:
- First 3 days: Dogs may feel scared, tired, overexcited, or not want to eat.
- First 3 weeks: Dogs start learning routines and may show new behaviors. Keep things calm and avoid busy places.
- First 3 months: Dogs usually feel settled and more comfortable.
Application Details:
- Applications start by contacting us through Wags.
- Dogs are usually tested with other dogs their size, and we encourage meet-and-greets with your dog before adoption.
- Cat tests are available if requested, but they only check for clear aggression. Always be careful when introducing dogs to cats.
- Advice about dogs living with children is based on behavior like energy level and how the dog handles touch. Young children should never be left alone with dogs, and we cannot guarantee how any dog will behave with kids or other pets.
- Behavior seen in the shelter is just a snapshot and may change in a home.
- Dogs should not be fed together unless you know they do not guard food.
