We are family - get up everybody and sing

Today was one of those best days of my whole life. I went out to the ranch prepared to give the B-4's yard a good cleaning and dig up some more of the submerged blankets. I think I got all of them but one that's lodged under the fence. Next week I'm bringing my knife to cut out the part I dug up.

 
I got Paolo really good and brushed with a lot of his clumpy matts removed. I do not believe he's ever been brushed in all his seven years of life. I must have brushed out a garbage bag full of old dirty clumps. He was so gentle and pleased to have the attention. He just sat and let me comb him for a good 45 minutes. I've still got a ways to go, but plan on making a weekly habit of this. He still doesn't have the treat thing down, but dang, we've got our whole lives to learn, right?

The girls were all over me. Getting their rawhide twirls and some cookies. They got new balls and a rope toy. It was a hit with Paolo which was a big surprise. But, the biggest breakthrough for me was Rza who used to be Dorothy. She and I had a special moment at the end of my visit. She came and sat on my lap and let me hug and kiss on her. This little girl is so loving. She really trusts me and was the last to come around. Oh, but worth the wait. I really love these dogs. They are so very special. Each and every one of them. All four. A family unit.

Don't mess with Texas!

Do you have a problem dog?

If you are a dog lover, then sometime in your life you've run into an issue or two. While I am no trainer past sit - stay - leash and house. For some reason all of the dogs here immediately know what 'house' means. It's a good thing. A Reunion Rescue thing. Whether it's coming in from outdoors or going for some crate time and I've been known to use 'house' to get them to jump into the car for a ride. But, this is about dog aggression or behavior issues that might have you pulling your hair out.

I've been in rescue a good number of years and have seen my side of problem dogs, most especially from abuse cases and coming from high kill death row shelters. I've accumulated a number of supplements I'd like to share with you.

#1 is Robert MacDowell behavior modification tincture. It’s kinda pricey but worth every penny. Just a squirt into each dog’s food daily.
 Robert McDowell Herbal Remedies You will order the Animal Botanical Relax for dogs. They have even more for the more difficult cases and in fact the company treats dogs, cats, horses and even people. They support tons of various cancers and other illnesses of the body. 

#2 is Emergency Australian Bush Flower Essence. I get the stock option..it’s something like Rescue Remedy, but this product is much better. Get a couple of mixing bottles like the one the Emergency comes in and make your own. One bottle of the stock will last you a year or more. You put one dropperful of the stock into the empty mixing bottle, fill with purified water and a couple of drops of some kind of liquor - I use brandy - to preserve. Shake it and/or pound on palm each time you use to energize. One squirt into the water bowl daily and each time they drink, they re-energize the tincture and calm the body.

And a little CBD oil always helps. I hope these suggestions help you as much as they've helped me and the Reunion Rescue dogs over the years.

Help Reunion Rescue build a world class dog center

We are building Doglandia from shipping containers!

We are sick and tired of all the killing. Too many dogs are dying and our work posting and saving isn't
enough.

Reunion Rescue has an excellent program and operates the world's only no kill holistic raw feeding pit bull refuge. We have launched a lofty endeavor and it's called Doglandia!

Reunion Rescue is currently raising funds to build a splashy ostentatious holistic dog center on the beach.

Not cheap, but we can do it!

Doglandia will house:

• 7-day a week dog training with a behavior certification program
• boarding facility for dogs and doggy day-care
• a raw food store 
• an herbal shop with homeopathy and holistic treatment available
• a do-it-yourself dog wash 
• a pet supply center
• rescue facility and adoption 
• volunteer program with behavior certification 
• activity and training site

Imagine a one-stop shopping center for dogs.....spend a day at the beach, pick up holistic raw food, drop in for training, adopt a new friend, stock up on supplies and treat just about any malady with herbs and homeopathy from the Herbal Animal.

We have big plans, but there is also a big problem. Doglandia and Reunion Rescue have all the answers, but we need your help to put our plan into action.

Shipping container kennel to be

Doglandia will incorporate Reunion Rescue's plan to lower numbers entering the shelters. We've already enacted Wobbies (Wobbies declares war on backyard breeders in every state) which reports backyard breeding to local municipalities with follow up to insure these offenders are registering pets being sold and properly vetting and licensing.

With an on-site internationally known facility where advocates can train in canine behavior, become certified and observe Reunion Rescue's raw feeding and holistic program, we can show other communities anywhere how to lower numbers while healing and caring for local animals in need. Imagine a Doglandia in every town....a very nice way for the communities to help their local over-crowded shelters. These animals don't need to die and Doglandia has a sound plan.

We just need your help to put it into action.

Phase I: We are raising the money to buy land in Northern California where a pilot operation like Doglandia will absolutely work. 

Phase II: Once the land is purchased, we will sell our current home and business to help fund construction. Doglandia will be built using shipping containers. We already have an architect with shipping container experience.

Everyone loves the idea of Doglandia, but we can't do this without help.

Please consider donating a dollar and sharing our chip in with five friends. Ask those five friends to do
the same. A dollar isn't much, but working together, we can really do this and change the world one dog at a time....the same way Reunion Rescue has been doing for the last 15 plus years.
