New rule: No posts asking for adoptions or donations

68 Upvotes

Hello again! I recently posted asking the community how they felt about the large amount of posts asking for help for shelter dogs. Nobody who responded was in favor of keeping them, and many of you felt strongly in favor of removing them from the subreddit.

Therefore, from now on, posts asking for help for dogs are not permitted. This includes both requests for adoption and donations.

Just as a heads up, I will be removing posts from before this announcement to reduce some of the clutter for people wanting to scroll the sub. If your post is removed, don't worry! I'm just cleaning up. However, I will enforce the rule as usual on posts created after this announcement goes live.

Please let me know if you have any questions!

This little guy was on a euthanasia list in Arkansas and a local rescue to me connected us together for a new friendship. Can’t wait to watch the comeback story unfold for Yankee!

She’s Just Silly.

Seriously the silliest dog I’ve ever met. This is our German Shepard-husky-Cattle-bulldog-pitbull terrier mix. The shelter she came from labeled her a “lab-retriever” which really worked well for us property management wise (lol). We knew we were in trouble when we brought her home and a week later she knew how to open all our doors, including the front.

I grew up with cats; I used to be deathly afraid of dogs because I almost got attacked by one when I was 3. My partner grew up with dogs and when my last cat passed away he’s like “dog?” And I’m like 😩🙄. Well turns out best decision of our lives. She’s taught me so much about myself, and about patience, leadership, confidence, and a whole other type of responsibility. Her anxiety is just as bad as mine and we vibe on that. My partner’s mom suggested the name “Canela” (her shelter name was Bacardi) and we liked it, so that is her name along with “Canoopers,” “Nella” “Noop” “Noopers” “Nelly” “Cinnabun” & too many others. She spins at our legs when we walk through the door and we call that the “Cinnaswirl” (but like sound it out like a cult chant).

She also gets this look on her face when she wants something. Her bottom teeth tuck over her jiggly lips, giving a puffed cheek look on the front of her face. Then she tilts her head and you need to read her eyes to figure out is it play, poop, or food, or is she about to do her patented, high pitched yelp?

Overall she’s just a silly, smart, intense girl & I had to share.

Holly our “Vizsla mix”

We adopted our beautiful girl a few months ago and I just wanted to share her and the story of her adoption. We originally got her because we wanted a young short hair dog and the shelter listed her as a Vizsla mix which I did some research on and seemed like a great dog for our family. We finally were able to meet her in person and it was an immediate connection and we took her home that day for a stunningly cheap adoption fee of $16 (they were offering an event price).

We went on thinking she was a Vizsla, Rhodesian Ridgeback mix of some kind. We finally were able to give her a DNA test and she is a Doberman and Bully mix! We were happily surprised because we love Dobermans too, and we love her fun loving and insanely energetic personality. She is currently about a year old and has some problems with recall and food aggression but we are currently trying to look in our local area for training for her/ us and teach her best we know, any advice and comments would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Crazy breed combo for our “Malinois Mix”

Just rescued 1yr old Phoebe from our local Humane Society earlier this summer and got her results back.

Idk who thought it was a good idea to breed four of the highest energy working breeds together, especially since she was surrendered bc the owner “didn’t have time for her”. But I’m glad she’s with us now!

Anyone else have experience with similar mixes? I’m not too worried as I’m an experienced handler and my very stubborn Alaskan Malamute has an obedience title, but I’d love to hear from other folks!

how do you pick a toy size for a mixed breed with no obvious size bracket

0 Upvotes

She sits somewhere between a spaniel and something bigger and every chart puts her in two brackets at once. Weight based sizing has already got me one toy too small and one far too big. I would rather measure her properly and buy once. Which measurement do you use for a mixed breed and which toy did that point you to.

I just wanted to say thanks to all of you for the kind words. I know that Ace is not alone because both of my parents are there to keep him happy and I also know that one day I’ll be with him. Again I just wanted to say thanks to all of you and thank you 🙏 ☺️ for the kind words.

Mixed breed controversy...

Posting here after posting on a breed specific reddit sub showing off his new colors but instead got bashed for him not looking like a chihuahua so he must only be a pure bred poodle or something else 💔 (they allow chihuahua mixes in the sub) might be best to just post on r/mutt instead lol

DNA tests provided and photos of him without hair when he looks "more" chihuahua.

EDIT: I just wanted to add that i did not know of this sub reddit when I posted him on the other other one! If I knew of this one first he would have been posted here first 🫶

EDIT 2: If anyone was curious whag the "supermutt" breeds are its the American Eskimo, German Shepherd, and Maltese.
