Our dogs don't mind sharing their bones.

03/08/2026

**UPDATE Mar 15** added pics. Adjusting well. Good in crate. Learning to wait for humans, settle, leash walking and other basic training.

**UPDATE Mar 9** new pics added. After 3 days settling in a little. Slightly more confident in her surroundings. She's already been in 1 foster and returned to no fault of hers. Pushing to get her in a home from here so she doesn't go back to doggo jail. She's so deserving of it and is young with a lot to give. We are on limited time fostering. Please help and share.

*Original post Mar 7. Our newest foster. Available for adoption. This is Wiggles. Approximately 1 yr. Female (spayed). She is a lovable girl we brought home from the shelter to help set her up for success. Currently 48 pounds and looks to be still growing. Told she was ok with cats. Shes a little timid and submissive to dogs. She is already having breakthrough moments showing her silly, playfulness and shows strong signs of trainabilty. We are only on our first day and will establish a routine that includes walks, manners/basic training, socializing while developing confidence. Updates posted here. For adoption information go to mh-humanesociety.com.

Copied for same reason. Brilliant!🐶
COPIED BECAUSE IT’S TOO BRILLIANT NOT TO!
The other day I was at the local public park (not a dog park, but dogs are allowed there). We were walking along in a high movement area so I had my dog on a leash. Another dog, off leash, sees us and starts approaching.
My dog needs her space so we start moving away, but the dog got to us before we could leave. My dog was stressing a little so I politely said to the woman, sorry my dog doesn't want to play and ushered her dog away.
Her dog gets the message and moves on.
Quite good, right? Here comes the juicy part:
As I’m leaving the owner comes to me with a speech more or less like this:
Hey, if your dog is nervous and doesn’t even want to play with other dogs, go somewhere else! Don’t come to the park and ruin other dogs fun.
I heard this and a wave of fury started taking over, but suddenly I think I had a lightbulb moment and switched gears completely.
With the biggest, friendliest smile, I opened my arms as wide as I could and said Ohhhhh! Come here... I want to give you a BIG hug!
With panic in her eyes, she backs up, speechless and quickly starts walking away.
I said "Hey, don’t run, I’m so friendly, come on, I only want to give you a hug! I’m friendly I promise... I just want to Hug You!"
Still speechless and backing away with terror now, I said "Wait, You don’t want my friendly hug?"
She yelled No!
I said "Well neither does my dog! Have a nice day.!!!"
As I walked away, I saw her just standing there, speechless and she was leashing her dog! 😅
I think I’ll try this approach more often 🤣
