🆘 The shelter has issued a PLEA for BENNY! That means BENNY will be euthanized Wednesday May 20 unless a FOSTER or ADOPTER comes forward for him by 6pm on May 19!

🚨 BENNY is so terrified in the shelter. He cuddles with new friend Louie for comfort which means he is sweet and dog friendly. BENNY would do well with another confident dog at home to show him the ropes of how to dog.

He might be scared but he allows touching and handling so we know he's a good boy. With time to decompress and patience to let him set the pace BENNY would come out of his shell and blossom into a fun loving dog.

Now is the time to HELP us get good boy BENNY out of the shelter in time.His life is in danger every Monday, Wednesday & Friday morning before the shelter opens to the public

Here is what we know about BENNY:
friendly with other dogs, seeks comfort
scared but not aggressive

I honestly never thought I’d be making a post like this.

Pluto has been part of our family for the last 4 years after we rescued him from a shelter when he was about 9 months old. He’s grown up with our two young kids, our other dogs, and even our cats. He’s an incredibly loving dog, amazing with children, great with other dogs, and happiest when he’s around people.

We were told he’s likely a Bloodhound/Rhodesian Ridgeback/Coonhound mix, and he definitely has a lot of classic hound personality traits. He’s social, affectionate, curious, and loves being active and outdoors.

Our family is preparing for a major cross country move related to our son’s medical condition, and after a lot of difficult conversations, we’ve had to face the reality that we may no longer be able to give Pluto the exercise, space, consistency, and attention he truly deserves long term.

This is not something we want to do at all. We love this dog deeply and there’s a tremendous amount of heartbreak and guilt attached to even considering it. But we also love him enough to know he deserves a life where he can really thrive.

More than anything, we’re hoping to find Pluto a home where he’ll have room to run, interaction with people and other dogs, and owners who will truly make him part of the family the way we have.

We are absolutely willing to work with the right family on transportation or an out of state relocation if needed for the right home. If you think you may be a good fit for Pluto or have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

His favourite food is pizza (when he manages to steal it much to the dismay of the people around him) and he loves wearing Bandanas!

Hello! I recently rescued a 6month old bloodhound puppy. Our hope is to get him to eventually be a blood tracker. I have some experience with IGP tracks but this is my first with hunting and practical use tracking. Any advice?

So far he’s doing about 200-300 paces, food each step or every other step with both narrow and sharp terms. Very comfortable weaving between and tracking around trees and in tall grass. He’s too fast for IGP standards but to me this seems it would be a good trait in a hunting dog. I’ve introduced shed scent and he does fine with it as long as there’s food in the track too.

Our goal is to take him on his first hunt this season (he will be just over a year old), so any advice would be appreciated! Pic for tax.

The ebook is available for preorder and both it and the paperback will be out May 22.
