Resource guarding is an anxiety disorder in which a dog guards items that they deem valuable. Resource guarding can be present in any age dog. However, it generally starts in puppyhood.
We enjoyed seeing many of you at the Spring Trash and Treasure Show at The Forum last weekend. It’s always nice to hear from those of you who have adopted pets in the past and to learn how they are doing. We love all the happy-ending stories.
As a rescue organization there are good days and there are bad days. We do what we can but we do have limitations.
We hope that everyone will stop by the Forum this weekend, April 13 and 14, for the spring Trash and Treasure Show at The Forum in Presque Isle.
