HoundHaven week 4

Week 4
~~ This past week has been crazy. With all the new dogs and the crazy things happening during the evening shifts that the morning shifts have to endure. I work every morning and sometimes I work the afternoon and/or the night shifts. The times that I have not worked the night shifts there have been problems that have made it hard on the morning shift. I love working the morning shift because you can get close to the dogs and love on them. We do have to do a lot of cleaning but as long as the dogs are happy and in a healthy, clean environment then I don't mind cleaning their kennels. A lot of times we clean to allow new dogs to come into the shelter with a clean environment. It also allows us to disinfect the kennel because the dogs get sick easily. Thankfully this past week we have had two dogs go to a home. Everyone was so happy that they were able to go to a good home because they were such good puppies and needed to get out of the shelter. Thankfully that has also given us some more room and we have been able to move our dogs around so that they are in the proper places. We try to keep the dogs that the sick are quarantined away from the rest of the dogs that are healthy and are going to adoption events. Although a new dog arrived today but this dog was at the shelter once before but apparently that home did not work out for her.
I hate it when people adopt a dog and after a few months they give the dog back because they don't like something about the dog. I wish that more people would take a dog for all the good and the bad. Animals are not perfect and they are bad just as much as they are good. These dogs have such a great temperment and are so lovable as long as they have a good home. It's amazing how the bigger dogs that seem to look intimidating are the most sweetest dogs. One of our biggest dogs, Bear, is a black lab and he will attack you face with kisses and topple you over just to give you even more kisses. I love these dogs so much. They are so adorable and all they really want is love and a permanant home. If you or your parents or someone you know is looking for a a beautiful dog with Lab in his geneology then please send them to HoundHaven.
