    A noisy beagle?

    We have a foster beagle, Samantha (Sam). She is not a frequent barker but when she barks.... she really barks!! :D Worse in the early AM when I take her out, it's like 4AM and she is baying away at a scent she has caught in the yard. It is next to impossible to get her to stop. I love the...

    Pitbulls in the news

    Oh, there was just a big discussion about all of this on the Petfinder message boards!! Reading these posts a little late, regardless I have to speak up. The OP was obviously a TROLL :rolleyes: Unfortunately they do exist and thrive on irritating others. My aunt was fostering a Golden for a...

    Phobias

    Centipedes and heights. :eek: Instant panic attack with both. We had gone to Cedar Point in Sandusky a couple of years ago and I decided I would be okay riding the giant Ferris Wheel. It was the 4 of us and a guy with his maybe 6 year old kid. I was actually okay (I was not looking down, but...

    Temper training!

    Our foster puppy Zoe is like that too. Or if I am trying to take her from where I want her to be instead of where she wants to be...ie eating out of the big dogs food bowls... she becomes instant snarl face. She does sit before eating, going out, playing... we used NILIF with our 2 dogs and they...

    My Local Dog Pound

    Oh, I know what you mean! As soon as our foster gets placed, there is another dog waiting for a home. I think the longest we have been without a foster dog is 2 weeks. My friend at work bred her female boxer and also has a male and female Chi she plans on breeding. Mind you she bought the dogs...

    Invisible fences, anyone here used one?

    We have one, our Border Collie has gone through it several times but our Lab mix has only gone through the boundary once. All breakthroughs were due to chasing a cat in the woods behind our house. And other animals can come in the yard, obviously because they don't have the collar on. I never...

    My Local Dog Pound

    I wish I would have read this whole thread before I posted about Ozzy. Mitch is the person who contacted me about getting Oz out of the pound and fostering him. He is also involved with Erie Shores as well as being the humane officer for the county. Ozzy is a Rottweiler/Mastiff/Lab mix. not a...

    My Local Dog Pound

    They only have 3 days in the pound, too, since they are owner releases. I think the public does not know what happens at the pound. One lady took her Border Collie there with the doghouse, toys, kennel, and crate. Luckily she was adopted quickly. Hey Mel!! Fancy meeting you here! Melanie...

My husband and our 2 children, ages 10 and 13 , are also active with rescue. It can be tough to do but is really worth it, when that doggy no one wants finds a good home. :)...
