If Only People Knew

January 24, 2018 by CVRR

  If only people knew....I find myself saying that a lot. I really think the general population wants what's best for animals, so for me it's especially frustrating that in most cases, the difference between polar opposite endings to a dogs life story is a matter of ignorance. Let's have a little hypothetical story time. It's will be fun....like a choose your own … [Read more...]

Separation Anxiety

January 12, 2018 by CVRR

Separation anxiety is the "adhd" of the dog world. As a trainer, its definitely the most wildly misdiagnosed issue in the dog world. A kid who would rather throw pencil erasers at the girl in front of him and bobs non stop in his seat doesn't necessarily have a medical problem, and a dog who whines and paces when it hears a familiar car pull in the drive does not necessarily … [Read more...]

The Charmed litter: a tale of Parvo

January 8, 2018 by CVRR

December 7, 2017 I’m sitting here, staring at the twinkling lights on my tree, listening to my nearly three year old squawk something about not wanting the chocolate cereal, and trying to mentally prepare for another day in what has been a series of very earth shattering days. We do everything we can to keep our foster animals safe and well. They live amongst our families … [Read more...]

Is Qbert the one for you?

January 8, 2018 by CVRR

I have an almost three year old daughter ❤️😍😆🙈..... And as anyone who has ever had a three year old will attest to, she is sort of this amazing tiny mixture of the sweetest most gentle little lamb and the Mad Hatter. This morning she was frantically searching for this tiny little 2 dollar trinket she refers to as “squishy pony”. Her anxiety about not being able to find this … [Read more...]

Cleo Diaries (Diaries of a Foster Dog)

January 8, 2018 by CVRR

Day 1 First day in the life of foster care from Cleo! I Begin the day with some vaccines and yucky yellow stuff (dewormer) provided by the sweet shelter workers. Then go on a freedom ride to my foster home...yesterday was my first day out for this giant hole (a shed for 11 weeks of my life) and really my first day with people! Met my foster mommy and the residents … [Read more...]

**Bella - SPICY Diva**Bella is a 2-year-old chorkie (Yorkie + Chihuahua), which basically means she comes pre-loaded with confidence, loyalty, and just a touch of “I run this house.” 😄 Please DO NOT APPLY FOR HER WITHOUT READING HER FULL PROFILE. Yorkies were bred to be bold little hunters, and Chihuahuas are famously devoted to their person—so when you combine the two, you get a dog who is loving, alert, and… >>>very selective.Bella doesn’t do “strangers.” She does “approved guests only,” and even that list can change without notice. One person walks in? She’s in love. The next? She’s launching a full investigation… starting with your shoes. And yes—we mean that literally--a full on attack of the shoes! If Bella doesn’t like you, your shoes are not safe. 😅There is no clear pattern to who she chooses. Bella simply loves who she loves—and if she doesn’t, she will let you know quickly. ***She may also go after another small dog if she’s not pleased, so she will need careful management, slow introductions, or to be the only pet in the home.***Now the flip side—when Bella chooses you? She is all in. 💛You’ll have a fiercely loyal, ride-or-die cuddle buddy who will happily claim her spot next to you on the sofa and take her job as your personal security system very seriously.The fine print (because Bella insists):! Must be willing to actively socialize and manage her OR! Be comfortable crating her when guests visit! Must understand she may be protective, reactive, and unpredictable with new people! Must be prepared to manage interactions with other small dogs! Must accept that Bella is the one conducting the interviewsThe perks:✔️ Crates like a pro✔️ Loves snuggling (on her terms, of course)✔️ Enjoys chasing tennis balls and chewing on Kong toys✔️ Big personality in a tiny, scruffy packageBella isn’t just looking for a home—she’s looking for her person.And trust us… she will let you know if that person is you.Apply if you’re ready to be chosen.Because Bella? She ain’t playin’. 😎🐶 ... See MoreSee Less
