9 Tips for a Successful Summer with Your Dog
As always, Dr. Becker has excellent insight on a topic that affects all of us who love to take our furry family members with us wherever we go! Check out her article, "Don't Take Your Dog in Public Without Considering These 9 Pointers."
Here's the story-at-a-glance:
As more and more public places become dog-friendly in recognition that for many of us, dogs are members of the family, the onus is on us to be thoughtful and responsible guardians
During the warmer months of the year, people like to get out and about with their dogs, whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, a short hike, or a summer vacation
The best way to set yourself and your dog up for a fun, memorable season is to do a bit of pre-planning, and follow some simple canine etiquette guidelines that will make you a hit with other dog lovers and a welcome guest when you go on the road with your canine travel companion.
Come and have fun with us on July 25th!

This Week's Adoptables from HAWS
The lucky family that adopts one of the pets featured here on our blog will receive a coupon from HAWS good for a “congratulations” gift bag from End of the Leash!
To learn more about how to adopt through HAWS, please visit their adoption page. You may also give them a call at 262.542.8851.
Al is a beautiful year and a half old Domestic Medium Hair. He is a very nice boy that would love for you to come and visit with him and bring him to his forever home!
Prince is a 8-year-old Chihuahua/Rat Terrier. This boy loves his food! This means two things--he needs a diet and exercise plan, and when he is around his food bowl he needs to be left alone. For these reasons, he can't go to a home with small children. However, he does likes cats and some dogs.
Happy Summer!
