Activities

Making A Difference

Finding a Better Way for Drax.

Drax came to the shelter after living in a back yard with two other Rotties. Consequently, they were all left unsocialized to the point the owner became too fearful to interact with them. This only compounded their isolation and behavioral problems.

Resource guarding, flinching at touch, and growling and barking at strangers were among his behavior issues. Over his time here, Drax showed the staff that he had hope. He responded to obedience training and desensitinzing, but clearly wasn't goiong to be ready for adoption without more intensive training found in a "board & train" environment. That's where Miracle K9 Training comeing into Drax's story. Once the required fee has been reaised, he will spend much needed time at their faciltiy. For Drax, this is a matter of life and death and the shelter staff is ready to get him there. To donate for Drax's training, please use our donate button obove on the site. We and Drax will be grateful beyond measure.
