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

In the News!Enrichment is a HUGE part of our dogs daily lives.. and what makes Love Dogs such a special place for rescued dogs! Each and every day we spend with our dogs is different and uniquely tailed to each individual dog!
In the video above you'll see a sneak peek into one of our workshops! This workshop was Trick Training.. usually we use clickers but one of the dogs, Muttsy, is so scared of the clicker sound so we use the word YES as a marker instead! Here the dogs are learning "touch".. to touch their nose to the handlers hand. After "touch", they learned how to "weave" between the handlers legs! Not only are the dogs learning some fun new tricks, they're also learning to be calm and relaxed around each other with focus on their handlers! SO MUCH FUN for all! Dog of the Month - August
Poe <3
Poe is one super awesome, affectionate, loyal and devoted doggie! He came to us with a rather interesting leg configuration.. both of Poe's hind legs are fused together and act as one! He hind end bounces up and down like a pogo stick as he walks! You would think this would slow him down... NOPE not at all! Poe swims, hikes, plays in multiple dog playgroups and keeps up with all the rest of them!! We adore Poe and know he is so ready for a home of his own.. come meet him! We know you'll LOVE him too. Guaranteed! Spotlight on our most

Why we like what we see of Shiloh at the shelter... in a scary place she's pleased by presence of human and her tail has a soft midlevel sway.. she's shows some playfulness! Bless her dear heart this girl is an angel!

What's going on here?!
Snowman and Rockford are both sensitive dogs. They are very different, not just in appearance but also in the way they process data .. both dogs are extremely attuned to energy, sound, scent, touch and visual cues.. this makes them incredibly fascinating to observe and in doing so we understand better that we humans , in the way we move, think, even where we look, aware or not, are actually sending information to our canine companions. They listen WAY MORE than we tend to!
Here is an interesting dialogue.. both dogs are quite relaxed and calm. Body language is soft.. tails are mid level and sway slowly.. Snowman has a plan but is patiently allowing Rockford to step in and have "dip" . Snowman is perhaps dealing with his emotions for having to wait for RF to get the hint by sniffing about.. he really has his mind on lounging in the kiddie pool himself.. Rock gets the message and happily turns the pool rights over to his big pal. Notice how they both react to passerby.. and what changes take place in their body language.
The chase is on!! One of the best dog games around! Its all out glee.. Snowman always runs out of gas before Rockford does.. He ends the running game by changing channels both energetically and by stepping into the kiddie pool... ..Rockford checks in with Snowman
Theres a lot of conversation going on in these adorable video clips of Snowman and Rockford sharing play time and a kiddie pool! What do you see happening? For trainer Jamie's take & further dog talk info click here

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.
