Quotes
“And after months of training, he just became this different dog. He didn’t need a muzzle anymore, and the muzzle came off probably within a couple sessions.”
“At Pawtastic Friends, once they get adopted, if the dog might need a session or 2 or maybe even more sessions just to get acclimated in the home and help the new owner we want to be able to provide that because at the end of the day, we want to set the dog up for success and not only the dog, but the owner so that they have this in harmony forever home.”
“We do want people to know adopters that that we’re a lifeline. If you need us, you reach out and we’ll find a way to help you. Once a fantastic friend’s dog, always a fantastic friend’s dog.”
“He was actually abandoned at the boarding facility. He’s been there now I mean, our rescue partner took him in but he was abandoned. He’s been at that boarding facility for almost a year.”
