Double zoomies. Mina's legs are shorter than Jasmine's so she has to move them twice as fast.

Not every adoption is successful. This boy was returned today. He's confused, but will be fine. We'll find the right home for him.

This girl needs help with house training and generally destructive behavior. This is difficult to work with in the shelter, but we're attempting to establish a firm routine of meals and walks, and a consistent set of handlers.

Since we're fostering a rescue dog, I figure I should probably blog about it.

Jasmine and Mina are resting after their breakfast and morning walk. Mina is tolerating her roommate very nicely.

We took Jasmine, our foster collie for a walk on the beach today. I think it's the first time she's been to one.

So...Mina has a foster sister. Jasmine will be staying with us for a while, courtesy of the Collie Rescue League of New England and New York.

A foster dog will be arriving tomorrow to spend a few weeks with us. It will be interesting to see how Mina reacts.

So, after today's play session my hoodie is going to need some stitching. But at least we had a good time.

Sometimes the best thing you can do for a shelter dog is to just sit with them outdoors and let them relax.

My big bully friend has been adopted. He's going to an active household with other dogs to play with.

When I'm meeting a new dog at the shelter, I take it slowly, let them initiate contact, and I make sure they're giving consent signs before petting or doing anything intrusive, like leashing or harnessing. It establishes a rapport very quickly.

The problem with having a great Pyrenees in the shelter is that they really don't like to meet new people.

This big knucklehead is a leash biter. I'm using an extra large tug to encourage polite play and teach him how to "drop it".
