2nd Chance to Shine
As many of you know, Fun Fur Pets offers dog training programs for our clients; however, many people are not aware that we also provide basic manners training and social rehabilitation to several dogs who are currently in rescue. These dogs need a few skills before they are ready to find their forever home. These dogs are referred to our 2nd Chance to Shine program by rescues from throughout the Midwest. Dogs come to us with various training needs and some just need a place to decompress and learn how to be a dog and trust people. Common rehab/training needs include:
- Poor socialization with other dogs
- Bad experiences with humans and/or dogs
- Trust issues with humans (stranger danger)
- Sometimes just need a lot of basic obedience like jumping, leash walking, and household manners.
These dogs live at our facility and we act as a foster for the dog. Our staff members work with each dog daily to improve their adoptability, build confidence, and help them learn how to have fun.
This means we supply all of their food and treats. We provide all of their food, training treats, bedding, enrichment toys, love, and entertainment. We are in constant need of the following items.
Here’s our wish list:
- Hot dogs
- Individually packaged string cheese
- Plain Milkbones
- Soft training treats (preferably Cloud Star Tricky Trainer Training Treats)
- Red and black Kongs
- Indestructible toys
- Benebones
- Slow feeder food bowls
- Large and XL Kuranda dog beds (preferably aluminum)
