ADOPTION UPDATES
Thank you to everyone who has
adopted an animals and given
them a new and better life.
When you adopt you actually
save 2 Uves, the Ufe of the animal
you adopt which then opens up a
space for another animal to be
brought in for adoption.
If you have adopted an animal
from HS CAR we would love an

they are doing in their new home.
We love those

The Sun is Out and the temperatures are great.
It's at this time of year we all like to get outside with our dogs and enjoy the weather and
have fun. So a lot of you may be headed out to dog parks. Here are some guidelines to
make sure you truly get to enjoy them.
Dog Park etiquette
Make sure your dog is up-to-date on all shots
Make sure you have proof of rabies with you
Make sure you have properly socialized your dog prior to going to the dog park
Bring your own toys
Make sure you have your leash on you at aU times
Be sure to bring poop bags
Make sure you pick up after your dog
Before you give treats to someone else's dog find out if it's okay
Some dogs may have food allergies

Dog Park guidelines
When you first approached the park don't go to the gate go to the fence beside the gate.
Take this time to gauge the temperament of the park. Keep in mind not all dog owners
are created equal. Look to see how the dogs already there are playing. Look to see how
the owners are acting. Things to watch out for extremely rough play with no owner
around to take charge of their dog. People paying more attention to electronics and their
best friends. Dog parks can be fun and a great way to exercise your friends but they can
also be a nightmare if other owners are paying attention to what their dogs are doing. If
in doubt is always better to leave and come back another time.
When you first enter the park keep your dog on leash for a few minutes walk them
around and see how their reaction is going to be to the other dogs. Even friendly dogs
can have arguments. It doesn't mean that the dogs are bad or the owners are paying attention to them. But any two given dogs can just not get along. After you've done your on
leash walk through take an opportunity to do a couple of minutes of leash training with
your pup. To do this have treats in hand take the leash off your dog let them get a few
feet away and immediately call them back to you. When they come back in their treat
put their leash back on walk around for a few feet. Then release them let them get a Uttle
farther away this time and call them back to you. Treat them put the leash back on walk
around for another few feet. Do this four or five times until you're comfortable the dog
will come back to you. At this point you can let them go play. While they are playing pay
attention to what they're doing if at any point they start to play too hard simply go up
and put the leash back on them for a few minutes. This wiU teach them there's an acceptable level of hard play. Over time they will stop blowing past that point. If you see
that another dog is playing too hard for your comfort with your dog go up to your dog
put a leash on them and put yourself between your dog any instigator dog. If this doesn't stop the problem or the other owner does not become involved. Go ahead and leave
the park for a while. Remember when you're in public the only dog you control is your
dog. Also on that note if you are planning to take more than one dog you should try to
take one person for each dog. So go out and have fun at the park. If you follow these
guidelines you will find you'll enjoy more play time and have less hassle.
