Many people sadly struggle with the possibility of rehoming their dog when they have a baby on the way, or shortly after the baby’s arrival.  This is often because the new parents are overwhelmed, stressed and maybe even scared of their dog’s reaction.  Our mission is to help keep your family intact, happy and safe while reducing the number of dogs in the shelter.  With a little bit of planning and some help from our Dog and Baby Safety consultations, we will help you prepare for your life with dog AND baby, while using kid and dog-friendly methods.
