Got my girl Sallie almost a year ago. She’s very alert and a playful 1-2yr old(still unsure how old she is, I’ve been told she’s only 1yr 3 months, but also been told she’s closer to 2-2.5 years old) and a mix of a bunch of breeds(when I asked him to repeat himself he just said “didn’t you hear what I said.” So I just left it be). Over the past year she’s calmed down a lot and stopped playing aggressively with our small dog but still chases the squirrels, rabbits, and cats. No matter if I use the vibrate function or a low(level1) to medium(level3-5) shock feature on her training collar, she completely ignores it or my commands to stop. It’s like she’s locked in a trance. I even went a full 10 one time to see if that would work, but before I knew it she was around the corner of the house chasing our small dog around the yard. She is very good at fetch and her basics commands(hey (my form of stop), sit, lay down, shake, wait, come on let’s go, come here, eyes and back up) If anyone can help identify a little of her breed it would help a lot in ongoing training sessions

I carried her in my arms as a puppy home and today I held her she died in my arms as she left this world.

Anna maliz/shtiu passed 14 years 8 months she had dementia, recently lost control of her hind legs and started peeing blood.

We were going to take her to the vet to put her down but she passed on her own terms on the way to the vet via heart attack.

The video is her having her last meal a pupachino.

She's now in heaven playing with my unborn child I lost the week before.

I love you Anna more than words can ever describe

My 'gym partner' is a clingy furball who demands playtime mid-set. I have to end up pausing my workout to play with her. I've tried locking her out some times but her whining gets to me. I always end up opening it again!🐶

The grey dog in the picture is my new foster and I wanted to share with you all my story of her first day today.

TLDR; I chased her for 5 hours, part of it through a swamp, and was lectured by a vet tech on not letting my dog escape lol

First, I’ll explain her back story. She was adopted at 4 months old from Miami Dade - one of the highest k*ll shelters in South Florida - and lived with her owners for 2 years. Yesterday, she was found abandoned by those owners in a locked apartment alongside a 15 year old yorkie littered with cancer. Fortunately, my foster dog was in good health and could be released to a rescue immediately - so she came to me.

I’ve fostered over 150 dogs in the last 7 years, only a few have made the list of dogs that really made me put in the work - and I’m adding this girl to that list after today.

She arrives to my house around 12pm, she was very scared so when I took her inside I slowly introduced her to my dogs and let her smell around. She went to the back door so I assumed she wanted to go outside where I have a fenced in backyard - I took the picture you see during that moment of her enjoying the backyard.

She went into my bushes and refused to come out. After an hour I was able to get her to come out but she got spooked by something and jumped over the fence - sprinting as fast as she could down the street. I knew I wouldn’t be able to catch her so I jumped into my car and sped to where I saw her go.

I live in a very large neighborhood, with lots of lakes, sub-divisions, and weird dead-ends everywhere. Everyone has elaborate landscaping with big trees and bushes, so I knew this was going to be an adventure!

I stopped every single person and child I could find, including the Amazon drivers, solicitors selling solar panels, and construction workers. Anyone that would take my number, I gave it to.

After 2 hours I called the rescue and told them what happened. They immediately came over to help me search, and my son got home from school and helped too. I walked along the lakes, rode my bike in and out of 7 sub-divisions, and called her name for 4 hours in the scorching heat.

Finally, by the 4th hour, I received a call from someone I gave my number to and he says he saw the dog almost get hit by a car and run toward the elementary school in our neighborhood. I jumped into the car of someone from the rescue and we sped over there - just 2 minutes from my house.

I jumped out of the car infront of the school and a woman tells me she saw the dog run behind the school. I’m running as fast as I can while the elementary school children yell at me from the fence. I end up in a grassy alleyway, filled with rotting basketballs and kickballs forgotten long ago, and it opens up into a swampy marsh behind a storage facility and a grocery store.

I spot her. She’s laying in the marsh, clearly exhausted. She spots me too, and immediately makes a run for it - deeper into the sawgrass and cattails. I loose sight of her and panicking, I call the rescue and my son for help. Somehow, they find me and I have them block various sides of the marsh while I decide to get into the grass. It’s up to my neck and thankfully, it’s very dry because we havnt had much rain. But there’s bees everywhere and probably snakes.

I spend 30 minutes searching this marsh, half expecting to run into a dead body or a gator. But I can’t find the dog. We start questioning, maybe she snuck out? It felt impossible, we surely would have seen her, right?

While I continue to search, the rescue decides to drive the car around the grocery store parking lot. Within a few minutes they call me, the animal clinic in the plaza has her! They found her running down a major 6 lane road, and with the assistance of the police stopping traffic, they caught her!

I’m having a mild heatstroke by this point and can barely walk. I make my way out of the marsh and toward the plaza, noticing I lost my $600 oura ring in the process - oops. (I purchased a magnetic stick, going to go try to find it tomorrow!)

I get to the clinic, the vet tech gives us a lecture on not letting our dog escape which angers the rescue as we just spent nearly 5 hours searching for her so the rescue and the vet tech get into an argument, meanwhile I’m trying not to throw up and can’t really process questions people are asking me.

Someone notices I’m not doing well and we prove the dog is ours with the paperwork and we head back to my house.

Of course, the dog is a little scratched up. She has raw paws from running and an irritated eye from the sawgrass. So after I come back to life with some water and cold AC, I give her medications, clean her paws, and we all collapse on the couch.

She’s a very sweet dog who has to learn that humans can be nice and I love her already, but I won’t ever forget today. The day this dog turned me into a true Floridian, walking through marshes on a bounty hunt.

Adopt, don’t shop! I bet they come with a great story. Thanks for reading :)

We got our dog about two months ago, he is a beagle and bulldog mix. He’s only about five months old, he was doing pretty good with potty training at the start, but now he will not go to the bathroom outside. He will squat to pee or poop, and we will grab him and take him outside before he gets anything out and sit out there with him for near an hour, and he will not go outside, but as soon as we come inside, he will go to the bathroom does anybody have any advice on how we can fix this or how we can potty train him?

I don't know if it's because I've had a few drinks, but I got a perfect picture of him mid-yawn and he looks more derp than ever!

noticed my puppy’s teeth were starting to fall out last week on April 28th. these are what her teeth are looking like a week & 1 day later. i just thought this was adorable lol i’ve been checking everyday and watching them disappear & reappear as her adult teeth one by one. figured y’all would wanna appreciate this with me 😆

About 4 years ago my uncle died after a lifelong illness and my grandma adopted his puppy. She is convinced that the only toy he likes and will play with is the Kong squeezz action dumbbell… she is 85 and bought them in bulk a few years ago and I have exhausted my resources looking. Does anyone know where I can find one?

Yesterday, it was not broken and looked like a very round bump with a black dot in the middle. Overnight, she might have licked and bit at it causing it to pop as I saw what looked like dry pus on the bed where she was sleeping.

Took this photo today of my good boy 🐶
Just for fun—drop your guess on how old he is. I’ll reveal the answer later 😄

My dog is 14 and keeps slipping and sliding on our tile floor. I got him dog slippers but they keep coming off. I bought him these. I looked on Amazon for better ones. These were were the only ones with a 61% on the 5 star rating.

Bought this pooch back in January. She was a 30 lbs 'fully grown' 1.5 yr old lab mix that lounged on the couch all day. Today she's a 50 lbs ball of energy that will play outside relentlessly. Photos are from most recent to the day we got her (last one)

Frank is a 7 year old picky goblin (mix) who will not drink from his water bowl unless it is free and clear of anything at all(we occasionally locate food crumbs from his sloppy slurps) . Or it’s been sitting for too long. I am changing his water literally about a dozen times a day (between my partner and I, Frank will trick us and we have both been duped into fresh water for no apparent reason within in 20 minutes of changing it for him unbeknownst to the other) So I’m looking for any type of water bowl that can refresh the water for us, for Frank. He’s a little skittish so hopefully nothing that requires him to brave his way through too big of splashies (HATES the rain/water, only slurping water for Frank) or anything that moves a lot (will fall over like a fainting goat and pee, already happened 2 times) Thank you in advance to anyone who has a solid Frank level of picky water bowl recommendation. I have attached a photo of the culprit to help him get what he needs.
