Hope1944 asked:
Im planning on picking up a German Shepherd that was found as a stray and they took her to the Animal Control shelter which is horrible. Not to mention another word is Death Row. Nobody knows about this place, and the only reason I found it was because I was looking for my lost dogs. Anyway my parents adopted 2 last week and I have one indoors + an older cat. Does it seem like to much to have 3 big dogs outside? 1 inside and a cat to top it off?

Do dogs know not to eat oleander plants?

rockn2country asked:
We put some in our yard and I know they are poisonous. A lot of people have them and I never hear of pets eating them, but my dog eats strange things sometimes. Has anyone ever seen dogs chew on oleanders or do they just stay away?
Sometimes animals can sense what is poisonous or not.

Captain asked:
Seems like at every season change, my dogs attitude changes a bit. I live in the Northeast, and we definitely get the full 4 seasons a year. For example, right before the weather warmed up here, due to Spring coming, my dog started becoming a lot more active running around, etc (he doesn’t care for the cold winters). The next week, we were in the 60’s.

I have a 1.5 year old male dog and we are attempting to introduce a female 5 year old of the same breed. My dog has never faught with another dog before - until now! We don’t understand why this is happening when we get them to meet since both dogs are very tame.

Can dogs sense when an earthquake is coming?

Rissielou009 asked:
My dog has been acting up lately, and I heard that there might be an earthquake this summer. She stays outside and usually is calm. But now she just wants to get inside my house, like she’s in danger from something. And for some odd reason, I think the two (dogs and earthquakes) are related. Aha. Or maybe she just wants to feel safe. I’ve checked outside and they aren’t signs of any animals. Seriously, I checked over my gate with a flashlight. I even sneaked a peak into my neighbors’ yards. Shh. But yeah. Any answers?

Dom asked:
We are adopting a dog and we currently have one. They both met in a public place around many other dogs and got along. But know having the adoptable dog come into our property might create problems maybe with our current dog? How should I introduce them? Thanks in advance.
Current dog is male, adopting is female.

Keep on Truckin’ asked:
I want to adopt a puppy for my 4 year old son. But with all the animals that end up in animal shelters, I would like to adopt one there as opposed to buying one from a pet shop.
I want to adopt a puppy for my 4 year old son. But with all the animals that end up in animal shelters, I would like to adopt one there as opposed to buying one from a pet shop.
I worry that at an animal shelter, there will be no puppies for adoption. And I want a puppy so my son and the puppy have a better chance of bonding.
Here are my questions:
1) Do animal shelters have puppies for adoption or just older dogs?
2) Does the age of the dog even make a difference in whether or not the dog and my son will bond?
Thanks!

Where/how to get your dogs trained to be search and rescue dogs around the central texas area?
Filed Under Dogs | 2 Comments
Rachel C asked:
I have two incredibly smart dogs that are so easy to train and very eager to. I think they would be good as search and rescue dogs because they have endless energy and can be very determined. They quickly learned sit, lay, roll over, dance, shake etc. They are well behaved and mind as well. They are also pretty young, one is a year old and the other is about a year and a half to two years old. Where or how would I go about getting them trained for search and rescue dogs in the central area?
