 About
Us
Our mission
is two-fold: 1) to improve pet welfare in new homes by providing pet
parent education with
pet adoptions from
animal shelters and
rescue groups, and 2) to
improve pet welfare
inside shelters by
providing shelter teams
and volunteers safe and
gentle pet handling
education and methods to
improve the pet's
experience in the
shelter.
Our vision is to reduce the
number of pets neglected, abused,
surrendered to shelters and
euthanized by providing pet parent
education with every pet adoption.
Our goal is help pets adjust
and stay in homes by educating pet
parents on how raise a happy,
well-behaved family member and
provide convenient resources for
resolving pet behavior problems
working with the pet parent and

Warning: Dog bites and
serious aggression when the
dog reaches full maturity at 2 to 4
years of age. By then, you can
modify your dog's behavior but it is
much harder because early learning
endures. Be proactive and prevent
dog aggression with Positive Pet
Parenting™. Below are the results of
a study by the American Veterinary
Medical Association (AVMA) and the
Center for Disease Control (CDC) and
the Humane Society of the United
States showing dog bite
statistics over a 20 year period.

Sad Statistics: Dog
bites are a
#1
US health threat according
to the CDC
P
4.5 Mil dog bites reported
annually (2% of US
population), most never
reported to the authorities.
P
Dogs between 1 and 5 years
of age bite more than older
than 6 years old. Male dogs
bite the most.
P
The CDC documents chained
dogs 2.8 times more likely
to bite than an unchained
dog.
P
Canines that are NOT spayed
or neutered are 3 times more
likely to bite.
P
10 to 20 people die every
year in the US as a result
of dog bites with the
majority of victims - by far
- being children. Dog bites
are the greatest public
health threat in the United
States.
P
Unwanted pet behavior leads
to more death in pets than
all health threats combined.
Behavior problems are the
leading cause of pet
neglect, abuse, surrender,
and euthanasia.
P
Statistics quantify the
effects of behavior problems
on the relinquishment of
pets to shelters resulting
in the breakdown of the
human-animal bond and
euthanasia of otherwise
healthy companion animals
(Miller, et al., 1996;
Patronek, 1996; Salman, et
al., 2000).
