appropriate
rescue person nearer to you. If there is a major rescue group serving your

How Could You?
When I was a puppy, I entertained you with my antics and made you laugh. You
called me your child, and despite a number of
chewed shoes and a couple of murdered throw pillows, I became your best friend.

finger at me and ask "How could you?" – but then you'd relent, and roll me over
for a bellyrub.

Introducing Two Dogs
Whether you are introducing dogs, puppies, males, or females, the scenario is
usually best if
both dogs can meet on neutral ground, off-lead.

Introducing Cats and Dogs
Dogs can kill a cat very easily, even if they’re only playing. All it takes is one shake and the cat’s neck can break. Some dogs have such a high prey drive they should never be left alone with a cat.
Dogs usually want to chase and play with cats, and cats usually become afraid and defensive. Please use extreme caution!

Behavior problems frequently seen in rescue animals
Rescue animals pose many problems that are not always apparent to those people
adopting or rescuing them. Many of these medical problems may not surface for
weeks, months, or, in some cases, years. I will discuss some of the behavior
problems that we often encounter when dealing with rescue animals. First,
though, I would like to discuss a few of the medical conditions that can
greatly influence an animal's behavior.
