It’s hard to believe July has come and gone, but looking back on this month, we certainly had a lot going on!
Rescues
We welcomed 5 new rescues into the DC SIR family: Akari, Diego, Hiro, Hiroki, and Mashu
Adoptions
5 of our dogs got adopted into their forever homes: Akari, Hashi, Hiroki, Kuma, and Nami
Congratulations to all of the adopted rescues and their forever families!!
Reunion
In addition to the adoptions, Mashu was reunited with his family. Mashu’s family had been led to believe by others that there was nothing more they could do to help him, but they weren’t ready to give up on him. Now they are prepared to help Mashu learn and grow through positive reinforcement and healthy nutrition.
We wish them the best for continued success, and hope that through our promotion of positive training resources and articles on nutrition, more families will be able to educate themselves and feel empowered to train their dogs, and not feel like they are without options.
