"On a very snowy December evening In 2010 an unexpected little furry gift from my Sister and family showed up at my door... It was love the moment Stuart Little was placed in my arms. I couldn't believe this tiny rescued Dachshund was mine....he was at my side for 13 years🐾. Thanks to Tommy Alan Goodwin and All Dog Rescue."

"We adopted our pup, Stella, from All Dog Rescue in 2021. I was very impressed by the level of care Stella and her 9 siblings received. All Dog and friends bottle fed all 10 pups after Mom stopped feeding them. They found wonderful, loving homes for all the pups, including one pup with a disability. They were wonderful to work with, making the adoption process very easy. They are truly a wonderful group of people and an amazing organization. I am so thankful and grateful for All Dog Rescue for bringing Stella into our lives!"

"I was a volunteer with All Dog Rescue for several years. I liked that ADR gave the fosters final say in new adoptees. It’s the foster than knows the dog better than anyone. Whenever I would pick up a new round of puppies (I fostered mainly groups of puppies) I would get all the food, pee pads, medications, etc that I needed. They were also very supportive and would go out of their way to make sure the dogs had all the care and training they needed. I am also a foster failure. I was fostering a three year old golden lab that had been severely neglected and abused. I needed to keep him long enough to gain some much needed weight and work on his fear issues. Monty was so sweet and loving that we couldn’t let him go. My husband and I are good with troubled dogs. We were patient and ADR let us know they were there for us. Many years passed with lots of adventures for Monty and our other dogs Gracie and Phoebe. When the pandemic hit poor Gracie died of a ruptured tumor. Monty was heartbroken and depressed, as was I. I reached out to various dog rescues looking for a friend for Monty and a salve for my broken heart. ADR contacted me saying they had a Maltese that had been neglected and abused and would I consider adopting him. Of course I would! Inigo came to us when he was two and Monty was 13. Inigo had been locked in a crate in a basement for his entire life. He didn’t know what a toy was, had never seen snow or rain and was terrified of car rides. Monty was the calm influence Inigo needed. They slept together and eventually played together. Inigo slowly came out of his shell. Sadly Monty passed away a year later at the age 14. We still have Inigo and have since adopted another dog Mija. I volunteered with other rescues in the past who just wanted to get the dogs adopted and if the fit wasn’t quite right well, it was good enough. ADR is awesome because they put the dog first. The perfect person/family is always found."

"Our last 3 dogs came from All Dog, and all are wonderful companions full of personality. All Dog Rescue is an all-foster organization, which gives the staff time to get to know the pups so they can be matched to the right people. All of the dogs I adopted from them even came house trained! Any bad habits they have now are all on me. I like that they get dogs from Reservations in Minnesota and the Dakotas where people struggle to care for their pets, and give them the opportunity to live their best pampered doggie lives. Res dogs rock, and so does All Dog. I'm looking forward to being able to foster for them once I retire, to give something back for all they've done for me."

44.5 percent of all American households share life with a canine companion. Pet professionals like dog trainers, veterinarians, and veterinary behaviorists are more important than ever as our modern society becomes increasingly difficult for four-legged friends to navigate—dog reactivity, anxiety, and general stress from lack of proper enrichment are on the rise in domestic dogs.
Does your dog ever growl when you walk by their food dish? Maybe they get possessive of treats, carrying them far away and giving you side-eye when you start to approach — or snarling at your other pets or children if they get too close.
As almost every dog owner is aware, the nose of a dog is an amazing thing. Just as they can pick up sounds we can’t hear, their sense of smell and ability to pick up scents is well beyond ours. In fact, dogs have 40 times the number of olfactory receptors as humans.
More than 80 million Americans rely on their service dogs to help them navigate the world. Task-trained assistance animals perform a huge range of life-changing—in many cases, life-saving—services: These dogs act as eyes for visually impaired handlers, provide mobility support, alert to seizures and blood sugar crashes, interrupt anxiety attacks, remind their people to take medications, and so much more.
You thought your dog was house trained. Your home was clean from puddles of pee, those dreaded middle-of-the-night bathroom breaks were behind you, and you loved every minute of dog ownership… until your four-legged best friend started using the bathroom inside again. What’s going on?
Ah, poop. We humans think it’s disgusting… but many of our dogs seem to love the stuff. If you’re wondering why your canine companion tries to eat feces (either their own or that of other animals) you’re not alone!
Do you have a water-loving dog looking to burn some energy? There are countless dog parks to visit throughout our country — but some of them become far too hot in the midday sun to be safe for your pets to play. That’s why we’ve put together a list of some of the best dog water parks throughout the United States! At these locations, your pup can frolic, splash, and swim to their heart’s content.

Does your dog destroy every toy you give them? Is your house littered with remnants of fabric and stuffing of all different sizes? Are you tired of investing in “indestructible” toys only for your pup to still dismantle—or worse, get bored of—them in just a few days?
You’ve been told your dog needs regular exercise. There’s a reason “walking the dog” is a classic daily activity: Frequent excursions give your pup a chance to experience the world, maintain a healthy weight, and — most importantly — spend time with you! Consistent physical activity can also improve their strength, muscle tone, coordination, and mental ability over time.

Many dogs have gotten a bad reputation over the years for being "dangerous breeds." Rottweilers are among them. Like pit bulls and other large, blocky-headed types of dogs, these powerful and beautiful animals are often assumed to be aggressive.
Your dog is reactive. They’ll see another dog, person, or other stimulus in the environment (like a car or bike) while out on a walk and suddenly go crazy at the end of their leash. The barking, lunging, and growling feels embarrassing for you — and it’s clear that your pup isn’t having a great time either.
Does your dog display reactivity to other pets or people? Maybe they’re a new rescue pup and are still settling into your home. Or they were sick growing up, so you missed their critical socialization period. Possibly they’ve had a bad experience after being raised as a normal puppy.
Do you have a reactive dog or suspect you may have one? You’re not alone!

From 2009 to 2020, there was a 40 percent increase in the development of public dog parks. Designated spots for canine exercise have become commonplace in every major city in North America — many pet owners won’t even consider renting an apartment that doesn’t have its own fenced-in pet area for their canine companions.
Thousand Oaks, California has been a safe haven for Sniffspot host, Jen, since childhood. Having grown up in busy Santa Barbara, Jen, an introvert from an early age, would seek out solitude and serenity away from tourists attractions and droves of people visiting from elsewhere. “My grandparents own 60 acres about a 30 minute drive from here, and I grew up spending every summer and every holiday visiting them on the ranch,” Jen explained. “In Santa Barbara, we wouldn't go to the beach on the weekend because that's where everybody was, so you'd find places off the beaten path where the tourists weren't. For me, the ranch was just my happy place.”
