Shelter Animals Count has released a new study looking at trends in sheltered animal populations so far in 2022. The data reported so far reflects what many folks in animal sheltering are describing – shelters are nearing or at capacity. “The primary driver of shelters feeling at – or over – capacity in the first half of 2022 is due to the imbalance of too many animals staying behind as total outcomes have been falling short of intakes – for month-after-month – beginning in 2021. That, coupled with staffing and volunteer shortages, veterinarian shortage, decreased funding, and more, has made it even more challenging, ” the report states.

Are You Ready To Adopt A Dog?
For the past few months, the Center for Shelter Dogs has been under a period of transition. While our work with shelters and the community continues on, we’ve also had some opportunity to reflect back on what we’ve accomplished so far – our work, our achievements, and most especially the many, many dogs whose lives we have touched. So we thought it would be a great opportunity for us to talk about a few of these dogs, and why we do what we do, not just for our own shelter but for many all around the world. Read more…
Here at the Center for Shelter Dogs at the Animal Rescue League of Boston, we have a group of volunteers with advanced training we call “The Mod Squad”.

How do dogs become part of our Special Adoption program at the Animal Rescue League of Boston? Let me share an example. Spike was a 2 year, old, 18-pound terrier-type mixed breed dog. He came to the Animal Rescue League’s Boston shelter from an urban shelter. The staff at that shelter had seen Spike growl at people when he was bothered while eating, and “head whip ” – a quick turning of the head toward provocation without a snap or bite – during his veterinary exam. Other than those two potentially problematic behaviors, he was pretty perfect: he interacted with people, was very friendly, and playful to boot! Read more…

You know all those wonderful enrichment toys you provide to your shelter dogs to keep them behaviorally happy and healthy? Many of you may wonder what effect they really have on the dog’s behavior. A recent study by Dr. Meghan Herron, Taylor Kirby-Madden, and Dr. Linda Lord looks at exactly this – does training for positive cage behaviors, combined with enrichment toys, make a difference in the behavior of dogs in their kennels?

A solid volunteer-run behavior helpline can be a valuable addition to any shelter. Having a call-in number that adopters, owners and members of the public can turn to for questions about behavior and best practices for their pets can help in reducing the relinquishment of animals (for which behavioral problems are a major contributor), and also provides a first line of service for families which have adopted pets through the shelter. Setting up your own helpline service may at first be a daunting task, but with enthusiastic people and the right know-how, you may find that it will pay off in the long run. Read more…
The first few weeks of a puppy’s life are critical to its mental and social development. A puppy isolated from the world during this time may develop a fear of social contact and may have poor learning and problem-solving abilities. Insufficient socialization can lead to hyperactivity, over-reactivity, emotional rigidity, anxiety, fear, and aggression. Read more…

Giving up a pet is often one of the hardest decisions a person might ever have to make. As Intake Liaison at the Animal Rescue League of Boston, I receive calls every day from clients who have come to the unfortunate decision that they must surrender their dog. Approaching these phone calls with a sense of compassion and understanding is of utmost importance. At the Animal Rescue League of Boston, if someone is surrendering a pet, we want that person to feel like they can talk to us and be honest about the dog’s behavior and health. Oftentimes, the pet owner has done quite a bit of research to determine to which shelter to surrender their pet and this can be largely dependent on whom the owner feels comfortable speaking to.
