Have a Question?

Ask a Vet or Trainer

Pets are very often abandoned or surrendered to a shelter due to one or more medical or behavioral problems. These pets are then often passed from one owner to another, never ending up in their forever home. Most of the time they do not make good candidates for adoption because of their problems. Seeking help from a qualified trainer or your pet’s veterinarian should be the first option.
