Adopting pets can be risky. Of course, they're lovable at the pound or the pet shop, but when you take them home they can be destructive and lacking in social skills. Erin Cantu has a report on a program designed to help such animals.
Paws Shelter and the Humane Society in Kyle are offering a voucher for training would-be pets that have behavioral issues. The shelter received a grant to allow dogs to attend training classes. Since January, 21 dogs have received the training and been allowed to settle into a loving home. One example is August, a pit-bull who suffered from anxiety and tore up furniture when his owners left. After August completed the training program, he's now able to play with other dogs and has much less anxiety.
(Sloan… "there and stay"…:11)
Paws is now relying on fundraisers to help more dogs obtain vouchers for the program. Ducky would benefit. She's been at Paws for two years and needs training. Ducky gets very nervous around anything but humans. A trainer, like Rachel ______, can help.

If you want to donate to the Paws Shelter and Humane Society to help out dogs like Ducky, go to paws-shelter-dot-org. For Bobcat Update, I'm Erin Cantu.
