A dog labelled as "unadoptable" becomes therapy dog and star of her book

Peek-a-boo!

It's me Toby

Yup!

A dog with a blog!

Mom meets the most pawsome people and pets on our PAWsitive Radio show.

She just interviewed Peachy the dog's mom.

Gabriela Duran is the author of the book Peachy the Warrior Princess.

Peachy was a dog that Gabriela adopted, and who had survived living in a puppy mill. With great care, patience and love, Gabriela and her family helped Peachy overcome the trauma of living in a puppy mill.  Gabriela was told in the beginning that Peachy was not adoptable.  Perhaps Peachy had other plans including proving the doubters wrong.  Peachy overcame her fears, and became a therapy dog that helped many people.  She also became the inspiration behind Gabriela's mission of preventing puppy mills and educating people about responsible loving pet care. 

How can you help Gabriela with Peachy's legacy and prevent puppy mills?

How to be the Best Pet Parent Ever!

Margot Ahlquist has some great tips about being the best Pet Parent ever!

1)      Before you adopt or rescue a dog, know what you are getting into.  Research the breed, ensure that the breed’s qualities and needs are a great fit for your family. Ask questions about the dog’s history, medical issues or needs, behaviour and temperament.

2)      Ensure your family is prepared to make a commitment to your new pet.  This commitment is about making your home the pet’s forever home.

3)      Your dog might undergo some anxiety related to the move, transition and adjusting to his or her new home.  If the dog had toy or blanket at the shelter and they allow you to bring home with you, this can help provide a sense of security and stability for the dog.  Sort of like a child with his or her favorite blankey.

This is one of our Toby's favorite toys, the Kong is his other favorite toy.

4)      Begin to create a routine immediately, for example, meal time, play regime, walk time, training time.  The more routine you provide, the more comfort you provide to your dog, and this translates to stability.

5)      When you have to go to work, create a routine around leaving that is not dramatic.  You can leave something with your scent (e.g. a t-shirt) with your dog, some pet parents have a saying they use like “guard the house, I’ll be back soon.” Other pet parents leave a toy such as a Kong filled with kibble. You may find leaving a radio on for background noise can help reduce anxiety when you are not home.

6)      Socialization is very important for your new dog. You can find dog walking and pet groups on Meetup.com, through your local animal organizations, and your vet may have some great suggestions to.  You can also research doggie daycares, dog play groups and the off leash parks in your area.

7)      View your dog as a member of your family…. His/her forever home.
