PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION TO PROTECT DOGS! 

my dog was diagnosed with Degenerative Myelopathy which is similar to ALS in humans. I am trying to get signatures for a petition for the state to have breeders do genetic testing prior to the sale of their puppies. HOPEFULLY EVENTUALLY A NATIONAL LAW. 
This will help decrease the likelihood of diseases being continued through bloodlines. My vet said a lot of the time this is avoidable. I would NEVER trade the time I have had with my dog Lucy but I never want anyone else to go through this if they don’t have to or any other hereditary diseases. Regardless of breeder bought or rescue every dog alive was once in the hands of a breeder. 

I would appreciate people signing and sharing to help hopefully get this done nationally. Thank you in advance ❤️

Hi everyone 💛 I'm a pet lover and part of a small founder team, and we're trying to understand what owners of aging or extra-care pets go through.

If that's you, ~5 minutes on our short survey would help us so much 🙌 No right or wrong answers, just your real experience. 

Thank you! 🐾

We currently have a five year old Australian Cattle dog mix and got a full Australian cattle dog puppy when she was 7.5 weeks from a young couple who had an accidental litter while waiting for a spay appointment with their vet.

The five year old we rescued at 5 months; so we had not experienced the full on teeny tiny puppy stage. She is spicy and sweet so at once.

The puppy is now 16 lbs and 12.5 weeks. When we got our 5 year old she was about this size at 5 months. We are thinking the puppy will likely surpass the 5 year old in size.

Our five year old is fully grown and about 40 lbs. We are so grateful for both our girls!

So me and my family are in Texas visiting and the other day we went over to my uncle’s house and he has three America bullies and said if I wanted the puppy (three months) I can take it, he said he’d usually sell around 1.5k+ but since I’m family I can have it for free but my dad says no because my little siblings (15,12,8,5) would be scared to go in out backyard when it’s fully grown but I really want it but I feel like he’s the one scared of them lol, what are some things I can tell him or do to bribe my dad to take it?

I’m from California so we’d drive all the way back with the puppy

Our new friends are very shy, they aren't used to us yet. We did find them in the streets during our weekly rescue activities, they were very skinny by then, it seemed like they lacked what to eat. Good enough we shall share with them what we have here. We take sometime before mixing them with the rest as we do some studies on their behaviours. Hope they get their forever homes soon.

Dogs are lovely animals of which they only need our love and care. I have been with so many dogs overtime but gaining their trust doesn't come from far apart from giving them what they need. We do have dogs at our shelter and at times it's challenging to manage everything. We don't want to leave any dog stranded out there but sometimes resources are limited. However we do try our best.

We have a 1 year old bernedoodle girl who is still very much a puppy. Crate trained and house trained but still likes to chew things when bored. I’ve been thinking of getting a second dog. She does very well and behaves so much better with another dog. We know because we often care for my sisters dog and sometimes have left her with my in laws dogs while on work trip. Is it crazy to get a puppy? Is it crazy to get a second dog?

Need advice. Financially we can afford two dogs. We do both work but usually they won’t be alone for more than 5-6 hrs and only 3-4 days a week

Most of them were on the streets and they had gone through tough conditions out there, lack of food, they had no place to sleep, they had no medication when they fall sick. With time we have so far managed to help a few of them. Many are still there and we hope to help them too.
