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 …
Correct them or Kill them. I’ve been a pretty outspoken advocate for shelter dogs, and all dogs in general for the last several years. I’ve also spent most of my time training and competing with dogs. To be clear, I deal with all types of dogs, not just the ones I choose, but also the ones that are chosen for …
I’m sitting in my hotel room in Prescott Arizona reflecting on today’s work. I was invited back to the Yavapai Humane Society for my 3 rd visit.

It seems lately, once again, the work of Bound Angels is drawing some criticism. I was alerted of this situation a few weeks ago and have been handling it personally, but want to make you aware in case you hear of it from someone else.

First off, let me tell you the question: How do we ever solve the problem of all the dogs in the shelters? Now that you know the question, you’ll have to ponder the answer… and to many there may be no answer. No way to ever see that every animal is safe, that they all get rescued and to be …
Well, obviously it has been a while since I blogged and as you can see that is quite normal for me. I think I should hire someone who can post blogs for me. I have a lot of great stuff I want to write about, but every time I go to do that something else comes up. Needless to say …
For a long time we’ve been working on developing this program and today we’re proud to announce it. As many of you know since the day I started Bound Angels it has been my goal to partner with those who do the hard work of saving shelter pets and help them save even more lives…. Well, today is a big …
