Establishing and Keeping Alpha Position

Posted on February 8, 2013February 9, 2013

Below is a list of rules every dog owner should follow to ensure your dog knows his place in your human pack. If your dog guards his food or growls at humans in the family, and especially if you own a wolf hybrid, these rules should be strictly followed. Dogs need to have a clear place in their pack. A dog lacking in this clear order is an unhappy dog.Read More >>

Help Ida Mae get the surgery she needs ā¤ļø Ida Mae Help Ida Mae get the surgery she needs ā¤ļø

Ida Mae needs her leg amputated at the hip to stop it from dragging and causing ongoing irritation. Without surgery, this will continue for the rest of her life. We want her to have the comfortable, happy life she deserves.

We need to raise $7,200 for her surgery, and every donation helps. 🐾

Please Venmo @kittyconnection and put ā€œIda Maeā€ in the note. If you can’t donate, sharing her story helps too. Thank you for supporting her! ā¤ļø

Meet Ichabod! šŸ–¤šŸ¤ With apologies to Melville: Call Meet Ichabod! šŸ–¤šŸ¤
With apologies to Melville: Call me Ichabod.

My previous human had to move and couldn’t take me and my feline companions along, so now I’m looking for a new family to adopt. It’s been a big change, and I may be a little nervous while I get settled—but with patience, kindness, and a little time, I’ll show you just how loving I can be.

I’m 1-2 years old, a ten-pound, medium-haired tuxedo gentleman: mostly black, with a white nose, white paws, and a very special white belly spot. When I sit just so, that little spot looks like a heart—an extra reminder of how much love I have to give! I also have some impressively long whiskers, if I do say so myself.

I’m a polite but talkative fellow. If there’s something I think you should know, I’ll let you know in a soft, respectful voice. And when I’m happy and feeling safe, I can purr up quite a storm—loud enough for the neighbors in Poughkeepsie to hear!

Cuddling is one of my greatest talents. When I’m not busy being handsome, I may want to curl up in your lap, sit close beside you, or—best of all—rest in your arms with my chin on your shoulder. I’m okay with gentle belly rubs, although they may inspire a little gentle play-wrestling. I’ll even let you handle and massage my paws, though I have to admit I find that a bit peculiar.

More than anything, I’d love a home where I can sleep near my people. Being close helps me feel safe and loved—and reassures me that I haven’t done anything wrong.

If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate tuxedo boy with a heart on his belly and plenty of purrs to share, I may be your Ichabod! #adoptdontshop #foreverhome #tuxedocat #rescuecat #kittyconnection
A reminder to keep your pets safe! 🐾 Coyotes live A reminder to keep your pets safe! 🐾

Coyotes live in cities and suburban neighborhoods, too. We share these spaces with wildlife, and a few precautions can help protect our pets.

Please keep cats indoors and supervise dogs outside. Even if they’re only going into your backyard for a few minutes. Coyotes can jump and climb fences, so a fenced yard alone does not guarantee safety.

Keep dogs on a leash during walks, bring pet food indoors, and secure trash to avoid attracting wildlife.

Please share to help keep our furry friends safe! ā¤ļø
