Hello everyone. Some of us have continued to get together since closing of the training facility. If your dog went through any of our programs you and your dog are welcome to join us for our December group pack walk downtown Midland this Saturday 12/16 at 10:30AM. We miss seeing everyone and don’t want to lose touch with our Balanced Dog family. Hope to see you Saturday. ❤️

Below we have posted a map of where we will park and meet up and the route we will walk and finish up at the Farmers Market.

If you can make it or have any questions please leave a comment letting us know.

Midland Animal Shelter Adoptables

So I never do this. But…never say never, right? As many of you know, I lost my beloved Deebo last week. What most of you don’t know is that Deebo was a MASA dog. The picture below is the picture of Deebo that sent me running to Midland Animal Services a little over 8 years ago to adopt him. I was absolutely not looking for another dog at the time, but that face, those sad and scared eyes…
I intended, and have, made a donation to MASA in Deebo’s memory and honor. Had it not been for their posting this picture, I’d have missed out on one of the best friends of my life.
So here’s the “I never…” part. I am asking anyone who feels moved to do so, to make a donation to MASA, to help them continue the work they do to network the dogs at Midland Animal Services. Or, if you have a favorite rescue or shelter, donate a little to them.
These dogs can bring so much to our lives, but only when we know about them. Many, many thanks just for reading all this.

My sweet, funny, smart, happy, ridiculous Deebo left us today very suddenly and unexpectedly. I’m a little broken, but I’m working very hard to think only about the 8 wonderful years I had with him. I already miss him like a limb, but I’m so grateful that he didn’t suffer. And I will forever wonder if he didn’t choose to go on his own terms, sparing both of us what would have been a painful few months. Good night, my sweet boy. Say hey to Buddy for me.
Dr. Lee, Ashton and the rest of the crew at Town and Country…the moments like today are why I’m so grateful for you all. Your compassion and care mean more than you know.

Lorna always looks at me like I’m crazy when I watch football and yell at the tv. Deebo just enjoys the extra couch time.
