For the LOVE of DOGS ... the Barn Dog Rescue

This Christmas we are wishing for Love Dogs Fosters
We specialize in saving older dogs, dogs with medical issues and dogs who need a little extra time and attention. The need at times is overwhelming. Not many rescues are able to take in these forgotten pups! We are hoping to develop a network of LOVE DOGS fosters who wish to provide loving homes for these darling doggies while they see our specialists and get their broken bits and pieces tended to!
Fostering is a wonderful way to support rescue! Very often these sweet dogs require very little but offer all their love and gratitude!
In the News!Snow day FUN at Love Dogs!! A snow day at the rescue is no different then any other day.. Our dedicated staff is here bright and early at 8am to start the day with the doggies, & they stay until work is done and all dogs are tucked in for the night.
Even if that means spending the night here at the farm to ensure they will be able to be here for the dogs! Super awesome handlers Britaney, Olivia and Kelly all stayed over night during the storm!! A huge shout out to them for their unwavering commitment to our dogs!!

ELLE continues to IMPROVE but with a small bump on the road to recovery..
Elle has started to eat regular meals three times a day, is eager to play with her beloved lamby and teddy plush toys and to go out for walks, even though she's still a bit wobbly!
Elle did however experience a minor seizure a few days ago. After consulting with the Neurologist, we have started Elle on seizure medication to help control them. She's responding well and we hope will continue to do so! Please keep our Elle in your thoughts and prayers!

Dog Etiquette for Humans
10 good manners to practice when meeting or greeting a dog
Don offering Rufie an open place to meet with zero pressure!
1) Be calm & content
2) Let the dog come to you
3) Invite dog to approach- notice dogs body language
4) Use a sweet voice to offer a space beside you for dog to be
5) If dog seems comfortable offer a pet under chin or side - avoid overhead approach
6) After 3 seconds stop petting the dog and see if dog seeks your hand again or not. Don't reach to dog to pet if she/he didn't seek your hand. Dogs love when humans listen!
7) Don't hover over dog- leave plenty of space
8) Alow dog to come and go - praise/ reward dog when he/she returns to you
9) Have a couple of fun toys with you. If dog brings you a toy pull out one of your toys, make it squeak or toss it in the air. If dog drops his toy say "good drop" and immediately throw the new toy/ball ...REPEAT!
10) Have some tasty treats in your pocket. If you don't know the dogs behavior when hand fed drop a treat or two on the ground.. move on and sprinkle a few more.. dog will love being near you!

For the LOVE of HORSES
|
Part of the magic here has to do with the integrity of our mission. Our combined efforts to rescue, rehabilitate and re-home animals stem from a foundation of respect, kindness, clear intention and a humble desire to learn from every animal in our care.
Our rescue is located on the grounds of a serene and magnificent, private horse farm in Westchester County NY. Not only does the farm provide a sanctuary for homeless dogs it also provides sanctuary for special equines in need.
