In the News!Meet Office Admin Michelle's new sidekick!! Quixote has seamlessly and quickly made himself at home at Love Dogs with Michelle in her office! Michelle makes him a super comfy bed right next to her computer on the desk and Mr. Q hangs out with her all day! He just wants good company <3.
From Michelle: Mr Q is a sweet and lovable little guy. He’s very friendly loves affection and wants to just be near you. He enjoys being up on the desk where he can be close to me as well as look around and see everything that’s going on. He loves his walks and looking out the glass door. He is foodie and will “ask” for some more yummy treats! As in the video ❤️

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!

Our NewYear's wish
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!

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.
