HOUSTON – Every family pet should have a 2nd possibility.
The Houston Humane Society is offering unfortunate dogs simply that.
The shelter has actually developed a brand-new program. A rehabilitation of sorts to help pups rescued from bad circumstances or those struggling with stress and anxiety and unhappiness after being disposed or left.
Kymee Bair runs the Behavior Rehab Center at the shelter which was begun in 2022. She said it is indicated to help dogs like Cobra Bubbles end up being adoptable family animals.
“So what we do is take dogs in like Cobra Bubbles that are having a hard time adjusting to shelter life and we rehab them and get them ready for adoption or tagged out to rescue,” Bair said.
Cobra Bubbles was disposed at the shelter. Others like him have actually either been mistreated or simply flat out pull down by their family.
“There’s fight, flight or freeze and you see a lot of fight. The dog is so scared their showing teeth, their lunging because they just got uprooted from their homes and got dropped off at the shelter. So it’s very, very scary,” Bair said.
Bair said the program is the very first of its kind and has numerous elements to it.
“We also have a fun doggy day out program, which allows members of the public to come take a dog out for the day so it gives them break from the shelter life to get out to parks, they get to go out and get pup cups, sometimes people take them to their house and do Netflix and chill. It’s a great opportunity for our dogs to get out of the shelter,” she said.
Most notably, it’s working.
“It’s so beneficial to them because were helping them learn what its going to be like outside the shelter, like their going to see dogs, their going to see strange people,” Bair said.
The objective is to get these adorable pups a permanently home. A family to like on them for the rest of their days.
