August's DOGs of the MonthGRETA
Darling little lady Greta.. brave, courageous, playful, the MAYOR of all the dogs here at the farm and often tries to become invisible if something is too scary.. Sweetie G has really come out of her shell in a lot of different ways since arriving to Love Dogs a few months ago! She has become extremely connected with handlers Beck, Nick and Olivia and will often pull to them if they come into sight!
Greta is SO good with other dogs.. she goes on walks with big pittie boy Ralphie, the next round she'll be out in a group of 9 "littles" and then finish up the day going for a hike with Rockford!
Greta needs a special person with a dedicated home that will be able to help her along the way as she works through her lingering fears. She loves to be close and is a real cuddle with her trusted inner circle of peeps. How rewarding to see this little gal go from shaking in the corner.. to mouth open nub tail wagging with love in her eyes instead of fright!
How to Greet a Dog..
Their Way! 
Dogs have a wonderful way of making people smile. They are quirky, adorable and loyal beyond comprehension. One of our missions here at Love Dogs is to continue to infuse doggie education everywhere we can! Something almost everyone of us experience ourselves and see often is the snapshot of someone walking up a dog to say hello. Sometimes the dog really loves it.. other times they're conflicted.. and other times they are down right terrified. Let's work together to make our beloved dogs more comfortable during greetings!

Not all dogs are social or possess social skills .. Many if not most dogs benefit from having canine friendships. We do our best to understand each and every dog in our care and an important piece of that is figuring out if and how they enjoy the companionship of others. Theres a way to introduce and a way of predicting if certain dogs will enjoy being with others.. In photo above is a newly established play group of 9 dogs in a nice open yard filled with numerous areas to explore and lots of room for running (aka zoomies) as well as distancing when a time out is needed.
Find a way to turn on the NOSE and watch how it opens the pathway for a dog to overcome worries!!!

WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE having the space and opportunity to let dogs be the social creatures they are! This free for all time is truly one of our greatest delights and rewards! While not all dogs are full on social , those who are benefit (perhaps not nearly as much as their human friends) by having ample opportunity to interact and communicate without human control! Here you see a motley group of easy going pals freshly friends relishing in their innate dogginess!

WANTED!!! Love Dogs Fosters
Worried trio of owner surrenders!

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 ask for very little & offer all their love and gratitude!

Maybe while at you are at home.. in quarantine.. you'd consider devoting some of your time and attention to a needy rescue dog Enjoy the incredibly rewarding experience of building a special relationship with one of our needy dogs.. their lives would be forever changed by the love and attention only a home and the love & focused attention of a trusted friend can provide!!
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. As with our dogs the ponies and horses are given all they need to go to live happy and fulfilling lives. Some become "homies" at the farm.. many others are adopted to loving homes!
