7/29/17@andymathisdvm So we took in TUG to foster. . . (Swipe left) Athens Clarke Co. Animal Control is open access, meaning that they must take in any and all strays. They ran out of room and put the word out for Tug, presently the most unadoptable dog there and the first to be euthanized if they need space. AthensPet wrote on FB- I HATE to type this, but Tug is URGENT. We don't often label dogs as urgent now--we have a low ("no kill") euthanasia rate for our dogs, even though we are a southern, open-admission, municipal shelter. But we're full. Thanks to an after-hours pull of a senior owner surrender (many thanks Angels Among Us Pet Rescue!), we have one open kennel. One. On a typical day we take in 2-3 dogs. On a typical day this summer we take in 4-5. Where will they go tomorrow, Friday? There are no dogs left that are behavioral problems with people or dogs. There are no dogs left that don't have strong supporters. There are no dogs left we haven't spent love, time, money on. So the question is: Who is stuck here, unadoptable? That leaves Tug. Tug is a good guy, and has shown no behavioral issues. But his skin is bad--he has demodex. It's not terminal. It's not contagious. It's highly treatable. But it takes time. And time is what he does not have. While he received Bravecto his first week at the shelter, it takes time for his skin to heal. And until his skin heals, he can't be neutered. His skin is too fragile. And we don't have time for it to heal. So while Tug is not the only dog at risk--*all* of the available dogs are--he's likely to be the first to go. We're hoping he goes to a home before that happens. http://www.athenspets.net/…/47486-tug/gallery/available-dogs **ATHENS-CLARKE COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ So he is here- to get neutered, his skin treated, etc. He'll be available for adoption through Athens Canine Rescue. #adoptrescuefoster #athenscaninerescue (at Athens, Georgia)

Today is #NationalAdoptAShelterPet Day! I wanted to share photos of my adopted baby Amaya with My gorgeous girl Nyx. Both are standard poodles. We rescued Amaya last October and I'm so glad we did! Amaya came into our lives at a time when Nyx was deeply depressed from the loss of Phaedra. Nyx was developing an OCD licking problem because of her depression. Between temporary medication from the vet and adding Amaya to our lives, Nyx is now normal and healthy again. And of course, Amaya now has an amazing family! Adopted dogs may need a little bit of extra TLC and understanding, but they are so worth it! Adopting a pet saves lives. So if you can adopt, please do. I understand that it's not possible in every situation. And yes, you can absolutely adopt purebred dogs! Amaya is a purebred standard poodle. I can only have poodles due to Dave having allergies. In the past, I've also adopted persian and birman cats with no issue. My bestie has rescued sphynx cats, too! The top reasons animals end up in shelters: *people think pets are disposable *people didn't do the research to find the right pet for their lifestyle *people don't get their pets spayed or neutered *people aren't responsible pet owners *people don't train or socialize their pets *people lose their jobs *people experience a radical life change *people develop allergies to their pets *people don't anticipate how much pets will cost *people don't spend enough time with their pets *people move and can't take their pet with them If you’re thinking about a pet, please read my How to Find the Perfect Pet Guide. https://phyrra.net/how-to-find-the-perfect-pet.html The number one thing you can do to prevent pets from going into shelters is to educate yourself and find the perfect pet to fit your lifestyle. You should also get your pets spayed or neutered. Finally, if you’re going to get a dog, you need to socialize it, as well as do obedience training with it so that it’s a good companion. Pets are not disposable. #PhyrrasFault #adoptashelterdog #adoptrescuefoster #shelterdogsrock #shelterdogsofinstagram #dogrescue #rescuedogs #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescuepuppy #standardpoodlesofinstagram #standardpoodles (at Odessa, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_nYRyElezk/?igshid=qf2fm0th7lnn
