We run these for adults, adolescent dogs, and sometimes puppies if we're having a tough time moving one for whatever reason.

A lot of the meet has to do with management and advising the foster on how to handle both dogs in the same space. This typically happens post-event on a different day. That ...

Great question! The dogs that we show during this event, because it is an event for current fosters, are dogs that are available, pending foster, stray, awaiting surgery, being evaluated for behavior, etc. We keep it fairly open so that a good chunk of the dogs have an opportunity to go to foster to ...

For those interested I have a couple of examples of the protocols that we send out with fosters attached here! I have attached the reactivity and the jumpy/mouthy protocols -- these are the most prevalent issues that we've been seeing and I'm sure it's the same with others. These are great because they ...

These protocols include a short summary of the behavior plus links to resources and videos. These are shared with the foster at pick up and include 2-3 action ...
