Hoss is an eight-year-old Boston terrier/mix. He loves life and would love to have a family with no other pets. He enjoys his quality people time and going for walks. Can you find it in your heart to include Hoss in your life? Come out and take a stroll with him; he is just waiting to meet you.
CAPS is having our annual garage sale next weekend. We need your support! Our fundraisers and donations maintain our shelter. The garage sale will be held at Rita Hand’s home located at 4293 Solias Road on Friday, Oct. 16 and Saturday, Oct. 17, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Rita is a former president of the CAPS board of directors. Rita and the late Billy Hand were steadfast supporters of CAPS from the beginning. So please come out and shop at our garage sale, there is a treasure waiting for you.
Watson here and it’s great to hear that so many people took advantage of the free “Maddie’s Pet Project” adoption days at CAPS. Many of my friends now have homes. I’m a proud CAPS graduate myself and here are some tips for new pet parents.
The first thing for you to remember is to be patient. When you first bring your pet home, everything is new and strange. Your pet may be used to sleeping on the ground, so he will avoid sleeping in his new bed. If he gobbles up his food, it is because he not sure when the next meal will be.
Probably the most annoying thing is your new pal may pee or poop in the house. Shelter dogs don’t need to ask to go out, because many of them live in outdoor kennels. However, with a few gentle reminders, most will quickly adjust to the house rules.
The most important thing to keep in mind is you are in charge of making a connection with an animal who was brought to a shelter. Be kind and let your BFF know that you will be there for him. Believe me, I was terrified when I first came home, but my folks spoiled me rotten and now, I am the happiest boy dog in the world.
XOXO Watson
