Pet Organizers For Dogs Shot Record: Fill & Download for Free

I had been working at a drug rehab center as a pet therapist and brought my dog to work with me everyday. One day, an employee approached me and told me about a three-year-old golden retriever who had been formally trained to be a service dog, but failed the final test. He was tossed into a kennel and forgotten. This co-worker told me he thought the dog would be a good fit for a therapy program, so I agreed to meet the dog.The woman who owned the dog (let’s call her Jan) had started a non profit organization to raise service dogs. She had tried to work for Canine Companions for Independence, the gold standard for service dogs, but couldn’t get along with the management, so she started her own. She herself was confined to a wheelchair.After meeting the dog, I agreed to adopt him and employ him as a therapy dog at the rehab. Jan called me on a weekly basis to see how things were going and at first it was ok but the calls began to come more frequently and when she found out I changed to dog’s name she became outright hostile.When she found out I had gotten the dog’s shots she called me and told me the dog already had shots. That may have been true, but when I called the vet who supposedly had his records, the vet said the dog had been filed as “dead” and the file was long gone. That’s why I got the shots, I needed a record for employment purposes.Anyway, she began harassing me, telling me that she knew more about dogs than anyone in the world (sound familiar?) and that I had no right to change his name and had no right to get him in as a patient with my own vet, etc.About 18 months after this all started, there was a huge lay-off at the hospital. When I went for my exit interview I was told I had to leave the dog there. Jan had called them and said she only gave me the dog to work there and since I wasn’t there anymore she wanted the dog back. I told them I had a standard adoption contract, said they were crazy and to sue me.They had two armed guards step between me and my dog and take the leash. They escorted me off the property.Before this happened I had no idea such evil existed. My children loved that dog, and when I had gotten him he was loaded with ticks and fleas and so beaten down that it took us months to get him to even wag his tail. Now he was going back that environment. I was heartsick and cried every day. I begged her to give me back the dog but she stopped taking my calls. So I had to sue to get the dog back, which took a lot of money and six weeks.When I finally got him back, he cried so much and jumped for joy that I thought we would both explode with joy.I found out much later that this woman had been holding a grudge against me because I had inadvertently made a decision a few years earlier that affected her. I had been running a prison program teaching inmates to raise service dogs and the county and I decided to use CCI puppies.This woman had gone to the county and asked that we use her dogs and her organization instead. She was told no, we had already signed papers with CCI. When she found out it was me who made that decision, (which I was totally unaware of any of this) she vowed revenge. Years later, when she learned where I was working, she set me up to break my heart.She left an emotional scar that to this day hasn’t ever healed and this was ten years ago. I know I should forgive her, but I can’t find it in my heart to do so. I never felt such hatred that has never diluted. She broke my heart and the hearts of my little children just out of revenge. Pure evil.

Congratulations on deciding to get a dog! :) You are going to have an amazing experience with your new furry little friend.Please do consider adopting a dog instead of buying one.This is going to be a long answer as I have tried to cover all your questions.Things you should know before getting a dog :Dogs are social animals - Dogs like to be around people and other dogs. You should ideally avoid having to leave your pet dog alone at home for long periods of time as this will cause a lot of distress to it. Dogs are prone to develop 'separation anxiety' which is a term given to the unwanted behaviour exhibited by them when they are left alone. This behaviour can include barking, whining and howling incessantly, destructive behaviour such as chewing up things around the house like furniture or your shoes or clothes or even electronic items. Dogs can chew up pretty much anything. I have, on different occasions, come home to a chewed up : bed, shoes, laptop chargers, mobile chargers, pens, fevicol, medicine, perfume bottles, wooden jewelry box, sofa set, books etc. They resort to such behaviour to keep their minds occupied in an attempt to not panic about "why have you left them alone?", "when will you be home?", "when, when, when?".Dogs need to be socialized properly - Having said that dogs are social animals, you will still need to actively introduce them to new people as well as other dogs. Dogs need early socializing so that they can learn to be okay around new people and pets that they encounter. If this is overlooked your dog can become fearful of people who visit your home and will bark at them or try to chase them away. Having guests over can become an uncomfortable and stressful experience for both them and your dog.Caring for your dog - Dogs require a fair amount of care and attention. Looking after a young pup requires significantly more amount of your time and attention. A puppy needs to be fed 4-5 times a day, taken outside several times a day to do its business, engaged with toys and exercised. It will also need to be trained and house broken. You should expect to have quite a few "accidents" in the house as it will take some time to learn how to let you know it wants to go outside. You will need to begin training it in basic commands such as "come", "sit", "stay" etc from an early age. An adolescent or a full grown dog will require comparatively lesser time and attention. At this age they can be fed twice or thrice a day and taken outside the same number of times. They will most probably spend a fair amount of the day sleeping. You will need to bathe your dog often too. Once a month or every couple of weeks or as often as it gets dirty. Your dog will also shed its entire coat at least twice a year. Shedding can last from a few days to a few weeks. Expect to find dog hair all over your house and yourself too. Brushing your dog every so often while it's shedding should help. We had to buy a vacuum cleaner specifically to deal with all the hair that could literally be found everywhere. Your dog will need to be de-wormed every few months and vaccinated every year. Ticks and fleas are also something to look out for. Dogs can pick them up from outside or other dogs. It is best to treat your dog as soon as possible when you spot even a single flea/tick on it as they can spread pretty quickly and move from infesting your dog to your house. There are topical medicines, sprays, powders and shampoos available for treatment but I have found the best success with organic neem oil. Doesn't have harmful chemicals and is even more effective.Training your dog - Training should begin early, when your dog is still a pup. The younger your dog, the quicker it'll learn. Basic commands should be taught first before moving on to advanced concepts. I would suggest training the dog yourself if possible and using positive reinforcement methods. This includes rewarding your dog with praise and treats when it does what you want. For example - when training your dog to "Sit" when told to - here is what you could do. With a treat in your hand tell your dog to "Sit". Your dog will most likely be very interested in the delicious smells coming from your hand and would want to get at it while not caring for, or understanding what "Sit" is. Do not give it the treat just yet, let it keep trying to get at it, while at the same time saying "Sit" calmly. It will finally tire out and sit down. When it does, say "Good boy/girl!" and give him the treat along with a pat on the head. Repeat this a few times for some days and your dog will learn how to "Sit". Training with positive reinforcement doesn't mean you cannot correct your dog with a sharp "No!" or show disapproval when it is doing something bad (like chewing your shoes instead of its chew toy). You could see Zak George's dog training videos on youtube for more training advice. They can provide you with some very helpful tips.Feeding your dog - You can feed your dog vegetarian as well non vegetarian food. It is generally considered advisable to include some non vegetarian food in its diet although there are people who feed complete vegetarian food to their dogs. I have stopped feeding my dogs dry packaged dog food as the main ingredient in almost all brands available in India is corn. Unfortunately good quality dog food brands are not available in India as yet. I have noticed though that my dogs' overall health has improved ever since we started feeding them home made food. We feed them chapatis/bread with eggs or paneer or small amount of milk or curd or mashed potatoes or chana daal, rice with vegetables (excluding onion) and soya nuggets etc. Things you shouldn't feed your dog : Onions, garlic, anything cooked with onions or garlic, too much milk, chocolate, grapes or dried grape raisins, anything with sugar or salt, avocado, alcohol, coffee, tea and other caffeinated products, macadamia nuts, candy and gum, cooked bones, peaches and plums, raw eggs, raw meat and fish. I keep edible activated charcoal tablets handy for emergencies when I suspect my dogs have consumed something poisonous. They can absorb toxins. Although, it's best to take your dog immediately to the vet. No matter what you feed or don't feed to your dog, it is always going to be much more interested in what you are eating :)Dogs best suited for India's climate - Indian dogs of course! No, seriously, Desi dogs are best suited for India's climate, having adapted to it for so many centuries. Apart from them all breeds except those that were originally bred in countries with cold climate - like Saint Bernards, Siberian Huskies, Alaskan Malamutes, Akitas, Antolian Shepherds, Chow Chow, Newfoundlands, Tibetan Mastiffs, Tibetan Terriers, Komondors etc - would do okay in Indian climate.Dogs that shed less and remain small in size - I have two Indian/Desi dogs, both adopted - one from the street and one from a shelter. The one from the shelter was most likely born somewhere in the Himalayan region (as told to us). She has a dense, furry coat (typical of cold weather dogs) and sheds quite a lot...but that's because she has a lot more hair to shed than the other one. Our other dog, which is a stray dog born on the streets of Delhi, has a short coat and experiences minimal shedding. It is easy to find a Desi dog with a short, light coat. And one which is small in size. Pedigrees that I can think of that won't shed too much are - Doberman (will get big in size though), Dachshund (small in size too), Poodle/Toy Poodle (It has human-like hair instead of fur which doesn't ever shed. It will need to be regularly groomed though, because its hair never stops growing longer and can become matted), Bichon Frise (small in size but needs to be regularly groomed), Havanese (small), Lhasa Apso (small), Italian greyhound (small and cute), Scottish Terrier (small), Yorkshire Terrier (small), Shih Tzu (small), Maltese (small), Australian Terrier (small) etc.When your dog gets sick - You will know when your dog is sick when you notice your dog exhibiting unusual behaviours such as not being interested in eating, excessively scratching, chewing or licking itself, vomiting, being drowsy and not wanting to play, foaming at the mouth, squinting with one or more eye, whining, continuously shaking its head and scratching ears, being uneasy and not settling down at one place, limping and passing loose stools, among other signs it may exhibit. When you have spent some time with your dog, you'll learn to recognize behaviour that is out of the ordinary and know something may be wrong. Recognizing when a pet is sick comes naturally to most people.Vaccinating your dog - Your dog will need to be vaccinated for Rabies, Distemper, Parvo and Corona, although your vet will know more regarding which vaccines need to be administered. You will need to get your dog booster shots every year/ two years depending on the dose given. Your vet should give you a Vaccination & Health Record for your dog which will contain details of vaccines administered along with the dates on which they were administered. Such a record also helps if your dog ever bites someone or their dog. They can determine whether or not they will be required to get vaccinated because of the bite. If your dog's vaccination is up to date, they won't be required to get vaccinated.Sterilizing your dog - It is a good idea to get your dog neutered. This has several advantages. Your dog will become calmer and won't be distracted by females in heat. Non-sterilized dogs can become frustrated and aggressive on not being allowed to mate. They will also be prone to humping anything in sight (including your legs). There have been incidents of pet dogs getting lost because they ran after/ followed a female who was in heat. Your vet will be able to tell you at what age you should get your dog neutered. Both my dogs are neutered and healthy. It hasn't affected their alertness or desire to play or doing all those things that dogs usually do.If you decide to adopt a dog, there are many shelters, NGOs, and animal care societies that could assist you with the adoption. These organizations are dedicated to looking after abandoned pets, injured or sick animals, motherless pups and rescued pets. You could even adopt a street dog.Benefits of adopting a dog instead of buying one -You're taking home a dog in need of a loving home and giving it a better life.You don't have to spend money.If you adopt a Desi dog (Indian breed/stray dog) instead of a pedigree, it's less likely to have health problems (because of a more diverse gene pool) and a longer life span. Please see this link for health problems likely to develop in common breeds http://www.m.webmd.com/a-to-z-gu....There is no difference in keeping a street dog or a pedigree dog as a pet. A dog is a dog is a dog. It will play fetch with you, bark at random objects and people, go crazy with joy each and every time you return home to it, shed hair all over your house, chew up your shoes, sit, stay, come and roll over - whether it's a street dog or a pedigree.This is how healthy Desi pet dogs (these ones are mine :) ) can look like when properly cared for-​​​However, if you still decide to buy a dog, please find a reputed breeder and inquire about the dog's parents' health history.Good luck!
