I have renewed our license as a shelter but be aware we are NOT doing intakes due to our age and health limitations. We still have 28 in shelter, about half will live out their lives here due to behavioral or medical issues. I will post the adoptable ones soon.

Fun's over buddy!
It may not be forever, it may just be for a minute or two.
Or, it's really over.
This is the point where other dogs may struggle. They were having a great time! They don't want it to stop!
They may follow, pester, annoy, nip, nudge or just insist.
No one likes a pest.
Dogs are no different, especially when they are intent on leaving.
If they turn around to communicate they're off "for reals", the other dog may take that as a "woo hoo they're back" sign again.
In reality though, there is no "woo hoo", at this point, but there may be a "oops" moment, when that pestering dog finally realises they went a bit far.

Some dogs just will not take the hint.
This is where you have every right to ask the owner/guardian to get their dog.

If they don't listen to you.
Pester away!

We are very busy revamping our foster and training spaces. But I'm here back checking in... As always, we are very selective of new clients and what's the best fit for your family and ours in training , Foster care , and pet sitting ...
sometimes we are not the best fit ... And that's ok !
We have wonderful references to the whatever we're deciding not to do together.

Dogs , families and their training professionals need the right fit . .. or it just doesn't work .
I get engaged with my dog families .. friends forever .
That's not for everybody and that's ok !

There are so many options..
Some families do very well with Google studies and just need personal engagement assessments..."am I doing right ? "
Some need someone more professional

We are here to help .
Some of y'all just need encouragement ... you've got this !

Some need more .

Tailored training .
That means we go and do wherever is needed most ..
Even helping you find a better fit .


Peace to you and yours,
Elizebeth Barker Bracewell

Belgian malinois are a very special breed. .
Looking for a dedicated family
This one has been in training and is ready

🚨 Belgian Malinois Looking for a Loving Home 🚨

Meet Conrad!
We are looking to rehome a 2-year-old intact male Belgian Malinois. Fully vetted with AKC papers. He is fully trained in obedience, crate trained, and potty trained. He gets along well with most dogs and has been a pleasure to work with.

As he has been very neutral with everything, we wouldn’t recommend him going into a home with young kids or cats.
He is extremely honest! He needs a home that is going to provide structure and boundaries from the start.

If you’re interested in adopting this handsome boy or would like more details, please contact us directly! Serious inquiries only.

📍 Located in Lizella GA

Please share to help this guy find the perfect home! 🐾

Finally ! Our inheritance money is coming in .. so much has been on hold for dogs and families.. our wishes .. plans .. hopes ..
On the way to be fulfilled . ..
Until completely done.. no more Fosters . Definitely no puppies until the quarantine room is completed as in my vision.
The Vision:
Built in quarantine climate control ( has it's own septic in place )
Metal building over outdoor kennel space with solar panels. Adjust old concrete to flow into dog septic .
Adjust fencing to make larger outdoor dog rooms within the new roofing .
Watering system and fans created by the solar panels.

And a funny .. I want.. old toilets .. more vintage the better
Out door kennel watering ..
Because dogs love drinking from toilets!
