I often get nostalgic and think back on the work we did in the past. One of my all-time favorite rescues was a dog named Puppy. He belonged to a local here in Malibu and had gotten in trouble so many times that Animal Control eventually took the dog and would not give him back to the owner. I couldn’t …

Of all the ways to save more dogs in shelters, we’ve dedicated our mission to education. As many of you know, Bound Angels’ core mission is saving shelter dogs through education, but just what does that mean? There are many pieces needed in order to help all of the dogs in shelters.

One of the best programs that we’ve brought to shelters recently is the Dog Playgroup Training that we taught at the six LA City Animal Shelters. This training teaches staff and volunteers how to pick, introduce and manage the dogs for a playgroup. Playgroup training gives dogs the tools to get adopted and get out of the shelter. It also …
So, the crusaders of morality are on the war path again, and I’d like to set the record straight (as I tend to do). Once again these keyboard cowboys are screaming on their soapboxes to “BAN” the sale of a dog training tool that is abusive and inflicts pain. They stand on their soap boxes and reel in unwitting people who …
I’m writing this post as a result of a comment on my timeline regarding the death of a police dog. The comment read: it just hurts me that dogs do not get to make the same conscious decision that a person makes when joining the force…….the conscious decision of knowing that they may lose their life in the line of duty. …
Working with shelters and rescues I hear complaints from both sides of the aisle. One argument that intrigues me is the complaint about stray dogs. It seems some in rescue are so eager to criticize animal control for not dealing with the stray dog dilemma, and it is just that… a dilemma. If animal control focuses their efforts and …
More than 6 years ago, I was somewhat new to the shelter community and the way in which I would shape Bound Angels. I came across this dog that some claimed was a purebred Belgian Malinois, I realized he had many Mal traits, but there was a lot of other stuff going on. Zeus was a handlful. The disclaimer I …
