Hey! I'm Ronin!
I’m a 4-year-old Husky who is smart, curious, and affectionate. I spent a long time in a local shelter before making my way to Arctic Rescue, and I’ve made huge strides in my foster home. I’m doing great free-roaming in the home with other dogs, and I love being part of the family. I’m gentle with kids, enjoy my dog friends, and I’m very food motivated and eager to learn. I do have some separation anxiety and I’m not a fan of the crate, but I’m working on improving! Having another dog around helps me feel more secure when my people are away. I’m just a calm, sweet guy who wants to be near the people I love. Come meet me, I promise you’ll fall in love!
Halloween Season: Tricky Treats
Including your pup in your Halloween celebrations can be a great idea, from costume contests to dog-friendly spooky events. But keep in mind that one part of Halloween can be dangerous for dogs if you’re not careful: the treats. If your dog ingests any of these substances, call your vet and get them to an emergency clinic quickly.
Chocolate is poisonous to dogs. Keep pups away from all types of candy, especially chocolate ones. The darker the chocolate, the more toxic.
Sweeteners like xylitol can hide inside all sorts of food (even peanut butter!) but is especially common in candy. It can quickly cause liver failure in dogs.
Raisins and grapes are dangerous too! These foods can hide inside yogurt- or chocolate-covered goodies. If your dog ingests them, it’s an emergency.
Puppies: Extra Care Required!
After adopting a puppy, it’s tempting to take them everywhere with you. They’re cute, small, and cuddly – but their immune systems are still vulnerable!
To keep your puppy safe, they should avoid public areas before finishing their third and final round of vaccines. An easy way to remember is NPOG: No Paws On Ground anywhere except for your home and private backyard.
From 8 to 16 weeks, puppies are highly susceptible to illness, including parvovirus, distemper, and parainfluenza. These diseases can be deadly and are difficult (and expensive) to treat. Parvovirus, for example, can live on the ground for a year and is easily transmissible.
After your puppy has received all 3 DAPPv vaccines (usually around 16 weeks), their immune systems should be fully developed, and you’re free to take them out to explore the world!
