Diamond in the Ruff

This picture says a lot about the relationship between a handler and a dog. When the handler and dog vibe together, they bring out the best character of themselves (and even make the same faces 😆). Sometimes it’s easy to gain that relationship. Sometimes, it takes work. Buddy has a past of taking time to warm up to people, but it was easy going from the start for Buddy and Abby. Proper introduction is important. You have to set a positive tone and make a good impression. These two continue to vibe together and make progress, setting Buddy up for his potential adopters. Find out more about our pal Buddy by contacting the Lewis County Humane Society NY 501c3 or messaging this page.

Meet Ike. A young pup who started life in a shelter environment, leading to no structure, discipline, or being held accountable for his actions. It’s like the child who causes a scene in the grocery store and always gets away with it. Well, now Ike has the privilege of joining John's board and train, where he's already excelled with his manners and proving to be a good boy. Giving a dog the structure they need and guiding them to make better choices alleviates their frustration and anxiety, ensuring a better, more relaxed lifestyle. If we don't guide them and communicate what we expect of them, how can we build a good relationship with dogs? How can we give them a structured, happy lifestyle? It's up to us, the handlers, to help them shine into the dogs they're meant to be. Ike is estimated to be a year old and is seeking his person to be his leader, companion, friend. Interested in Ike? Message this page or contact the Lewis County Humane Society NY 501c3 to set up a meet and greet!
