Mushu's Story

Lead dog, needs a home that will keep an eye on her; she would love not to have so much responsibility going forward (looking out for and training pups LOL<br/><br/>The SW Shed dogs were found by Rezdawg locked in a shed. The owner dropped food for them but they were never allowed out. He had no idea how many of them there were and of course they had never been to a vet or socialized in any positive way :(<br/><br/>Due to the circumstances these dogs were found in, they are going to need specific situations:<br/><br/>Need to stay in martingale collar and leash drag until dogs are bonded to people/place<br/><br/>NOT allowed off leash (for longer than most dogs)<br/><br/>HOLD space for them (for longer than most dogs)<br/><br/>They have never been without their siblings, this will take some adjustment<br/><br/>They also only know how to play they way they did with their siblings, this may take a patience and a solid dog to help them with<br/><br/>Dogs are their main language and what they like/know better than us – they will struggle if there isn't one around<br/><br/>They came from an absolutely quiet area into another relatively quiet one; traffic, people, normal stuff is going to be stressful for them; treat them more like a cat than a dog....no outings, let them get comfy at home and find their footings without the chaos of people, life and the environment. Incl no walks until they really settle in.<br/><br/>They should wear a tracking device 24/7 for their first 8mo (apple airtag as a last resort)

The SW Shed dogs were found by Rezdawg locked in a shed. The owner dropped food for them but they were never allowed out. He had no idea how many of them there were and of course they had never been to a vet or socialized in any positive way :(

Due to the circumstances these dogs were found in, they are going to need specific situations:

Need to stay in martingale collar and leash drag until dogs are bonded to people/place

NOT allowed off leash (for longer than most dogs)

HOLD space for them (for longer than most dogs)

They have never been without their siblings, this will take some adjustment

They also only know how to play they way they did with their siblings, this may take a patience and a solid dog to help them with

Dogs are their main language and what they like/know better than us – they will s

Dogs are their main language and what they like/know better than us – they will struggle if there isn't one around

They came from an absolutely quiet area into another relatively quiet one; traffic, people, normal stuff is going to be stressful for them; treat them more like a cat than a dog....no outings, let them get comfy at home and find their footings without the chaos of people, life and the environment.
