Thanks Melissa Miller for this information!

“Safe, humane communities!

Let’s reduce our expectations of what dog should find fun!

Do they like human interaction?
How long do you plan to be out and about?
Water sources?
What’s the temperature? Is it grass or asphalt? Paw safe?

Trigger stacking! A bunch of small irritants = less tolerance of humans being weirdos!

Hugs are restraint, dogs can track missing people sometimes hours after they’ve been somewhere. They don’t need you to put your hand in their space to smell you.

Kiddos under 10, folks over 65, anyone who moves differently means extra awareness when

Advocate for your pet. Are they tolerating the environment or loose and relaxed. Know their stress-signs. Have a plan for leaving if your dog says it’s time to go before you are ready.”

Animal Control reminds pet owners to watch for signs of stress as summer festivals, parties and outdoor events get underway.

Today we're sharing one very special shelter dog, Rosie 🌹💛

This sweet girl has been living at the Humane Society of Macomb since early April. For nearly 60 days, she's been waiting patiently for someone to choose her... and no one has. 💔

Rosie was originally adopted from the shelter as a puppy and returned just a year later for being "untrainable."

The ironic part? I met Rosie through Teacher's Pet training classes, and she is an absolute STAR STUDENT. ⭐️

Rosie's smile, enthusiasm, and zest for life are contagious. She's the kind of dog who's just happy to be here. During class, she learned sit, down, spin, paw, stay, and recall. Not exactly what most people would call untrainable.

She's smart, eager to learn, and loves making her people proud.

Rosie is friendly with other dogs when introduced slowly and properly, and she desperately needs a chance to get out of the shelter. We're starting to see a little bit of that shelter stress creep in.

Our class graduated yesterday, and honestly, my heart broke a little knowing I wouldn't be seeing her every week anymore.

So here's the plan: let's get Rosie a one-way ticket OUT of the shelter. 🙏🏻🏡

🐾 1.5 years old🐾 60 pounds of pure muscle and wiggly-butt happiness🐾 Smart, trainable, and full of personality🐾 Dog-friendly with proper introductions

How can you be Rosie's hero?

💛 Foster her💛 Adopt her💛 Rescue pull her💛 Share this post

Let's make sure Rosie's next chapter is her best one yet.

It’s National Rescue Dog Day and we are so proud of the work the kids have been putting in with these rescue dogs! They spend their time getting to know each individual dog and work on teaching new behaviors that will make them more adoptable and the transition into a new home more successful.

You can adopt one of these amazing rescue dogs at the Humane Society of Macomb !
