If you have ever known the love of a dog, then you understand why I created Rescue Dog Home. These are the stories of the dogs that I’ve known and loved and lessons learned at my local municipal animal services, Alachua County Animal Services and rescues like the Humane Society of North Central Florida.
Some stories are happy, some are sad, but all paint a picture of homeless dogs and the animal services employees, volunteers, and rescue organizations trying to save them.
I created this site as a resource for anyone who wants to get involved with shelter dogs. Whether you want to volunteer from home by creating enrichment toys or marketing material, play with dogs at the shelter, work with at-risk dogs, foster, or adopt, these pages can help.
I’ve been deeply passionate about dogs for over a decade. My partner and I fostered dogs in college and whenever we were able throughout our adult lives. I spent a year managing a dog daycare, where I learned about how dogs play and relate to one another socially, as well as how to manage dogs in a group.
For three years I was the client liaison of the Integrative, Neurology, and Zoology services with the University of Florida Small Animal Hospital. During this time I rescued a paralyzed King Charles Cavalier, an experience that changed my life and inspired a book.
If you read about a training technique here, know that I’ve practiced it myself. My reviews are based on products that I research, choose, and use with dozens of shelter dogs.
I am an affiliate website, which means that I’ll earn a small commission whenever you click on a link on my site and buy a product. I am in no way motivated to recommend one product over another.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you’re thinking about volunteering. I’d love to help you get started or answer any questions that you might have.
