Decompressing Your New Four-Legged Friend! Decompression time is a crucial step in the process of integrating a new adopted or foster dog into your “pack.” While you’re excited to have this new furry friend and they’re excited to be out of the scary shelter environment, it’s important to take a step back, put yourself in their paws, and give them time to acclimate. They are experiencing many new things, possibly including their first time having someone care for them, their first full belly, and maybe their first good night’s sleep in their whole life. On the other hand, they are also moving from a loud and frightening shelter environment to a new place they don’t know, with new people and possibly new animals they also don’t know. No matter how much you want them to realize they’re safe, this is a lot to take in at once and they need your patience and understanding. To get into their mindset, imagine your family has just moved to a new town where you don’t know anyone. It’s the middle of the school year and you start classes on Monday. You are so excited and want to prove yourself to your teacher and make new friends! Of course, your first day you’re nervous and you don’t know the other kids or the town very well yet. Then comes along your teacher piling on the workload and lessons, requesting you complete homework on subjects you haven’t been taught yet, and generally just pushing your buttons. You can only take so much. So what happens? You snap and give them your two cents, which unfortunately lands you out of school because you’ve been expelled. Your foster dog went through a similar experience when they were looking for a home. They landed one in the same way you started a new school. They were so excited! When you were nervous about starting your school, your dog was nervous about his new home and family members (your classmates). The teacher in this comparison is their family that didn’t give patient instruction and understanding, so when they didn’t understand what was being asked of them and made a mistake, they ended up back in the shelter, like you ended up expelled. When dogs have been in the stressful environment of a shelter, they need time to get back into a calm state of mind before they are introduced to other stressful environments like the park or a dog-friendly restaurant patio. They may also need time before meeting other furry family members, just as the new kid in school needs time to settle in and make friends. Your resident dog might be very friendly, but if her excitement at having a new playmate means she runs up to his face and jumps on him, this could be very stressful to a dog that is fresh out of the shelter and doesn’t understand what is going on. Decompression: Decompression time is crucial when bringing a new dog into your home and can greatly impact their successful integration. This is especially important for dogs coming from stressful environments like shelters or boarding facilities. These dogs need time to unwind and understand that they are in a safe place. By providing decompression time, you are giving both yourself and the dog the best chance at a positive experience. On average, most dogs take around two weeks to decompress, but some may need more time. During this initial period, it is essential to keep the new dog separate from all other animals in the house, preferably in a crate. As the foster, you should focus on providing the basics - food, water, shelter, walks, and some playtime. This approach encourages the new dog to see you as their leader-provider while also building a bond and teaching them to look to you for guidance. To avoid confusion and uncertainty, it’s best to avoid visitors during the two-week decompression period. Walks should be limited to the neighborhood, and only if the dog has received three rounds of shots. Avoid greetings with neighbors and any trips to stores or dog parks. The goal is to build trust and a bond during this time before gradually introducing the dog to new situations.

Quarantine yes no

It is essential to understand the importance of quarantine and vaccination protocols for foster dogs. Taking necessary precautions is crucial in preventing the spread of diseases, especially parvo, which can survive in the ground for an extended period. Even if your yard has no history of parvo cases, it is still recommended to ensure that foster puppies receive at least one round of vaccines before entering your personal yard. Additionally, a 14-day quarantine period should be completed. During the quarantine, it is vital to keep the puppies out of your yard, as a parvo outbreak can contaminate the area for a long time. Following event guidelines is also essential. These guidelines state that puppies must have received two rounds of vaccines or obtain special permission to attend. Furthermore, puppies should not have any contact with the ground during the event. For adult dogs to attend events, they must be spayed/neutered and have received at least one round of vaccines. Unaltered adults require permission. Additionally, all adults older than four months must have a rabies vaccine. These measures are in place to ensure the safety and well-being of foster dogs and other animals.

Foster Guidelines and Rules for Dallas DogRRR Yes No

General Safety and Supervision 1. No Unsupervised Access to Toys, Bones, or Food: • Do not leave toys, bones, or food out on floors, furniture, etc. for dogs to access on their own. Over time, you may observe that there is no resource guarding, but always supervise closely. • NEVER leave dogs unattended with toys or bones. • No food bowls should be left out, even if empty. Dogs should be fed separately for at least the first few months, ideally indefinitely, until you are absolutely sure there is no resource guarding from either dog. 2. Supervised Interactions: • Do not leave dogs unattended together for at least the first few months. Only do so when you are absolutely certain they are safe together. Ensure there are no bones, toys, or other items that could instigate or trigger a fight. 3. Crate Training: • All foster dogs should sleep in their crate for the first few weeks during decompression and separation time, unless otherwise agreed upon with the rescue due to crate anxiety, etc. • After the initial period, foster dogs should sleep in their own bed. Avoid allowing dogs on furniture or human beds as it can be a difficult habit to break, and some adopters may not prefer this. 4. Dog Parks: • Foster dogs are not allowed in dog parks unless previously discussed and agreed upon in writing with a member of the leadership team. 5. Tethering: • DO NOT ever tie your dog outside of a store while you go inside. 6. Leash Usage: • Do not use retractable leashes as they afford no control. Use a leash that allows you to easily and swiftly bring your dog to you to avoid incidents. • If you feel the need to use a prong collar, choke chain, or any other type of corrective collar, consult a member of the leadership team first. Positive reinforcement training is preferred, and there are specific ways to use these collars without causing aggression or worsening behaviors. 7. Fenced Yard: • Never leave the dog unsupervised in a fenced yard until you know exactly how high they can jump. Some dogs can jump surprisingly high when triggered or excited. 8. Secure Collars and Leashes: • Ensure the collar and leash are very secure when walking the dog or introducing them to your resident dog. Dogs can often wiggle out of harnesses and bolt. A slip lead with a stopper is recommended for security. Special Conditions and Permissions 9. Pet Sitters and Other Caregivers: • Do not leave your foster dog with a pet sitter or someone else without permission from the Foster Team. The caregiver must have a current foster application on file. 10. Training and Behavioral Support: • We do not use shock collars or bark collars. If you need assistance with training, request help through your foster buddy, foster group, or foster coordinator. • For prong collars, consult with us first. We will connect you with a trainer to provide the necessary skills. 11. Advocating for Your Dog: • Be the advocate for your dog, especially if they are fearful or scared. Ensure they have a properly secured harness on before going for a walk. • Make sure your dog is tagged. Notify us immediately if the dog gets out or is lost. • If your dog is fearful or reactive, advocate for them. In some cities, a scared dog can be quarantined. Ensure the dog has a secured harness and inform people the dog is in training and not everyone needs to pet the dog. I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO FOLLOW THE RULES AND GUIDELINES

CHILDREN AND DOGS GUIDELINES: Yes No

Children and Dog Interaction Guidelines When integrating a dog into a home with children, it is crucial to ensure that both the dog and the children understand how to interact safely and respectfully. Here are some guidelines to help foster positive interactions: 1. Respectful Handling: • Teach children and visitors to never pull, smack, or poke any part of the dog. This can frighten or hurt the dog and lead to defensive behaviors. • Children should avoid teasing, frightening, or screaming at the dog. Loud noises and sudden movements can startle the dog and make it anxious. 2. Designated Safe Space: • If the dog appears unsure or nervous around other children, it is best to put the dog in another room or outside in a safe area. • Ensure the dog has a designated safe spot in the house where it can retreat and feel secure. This space should be off-limits to children. 3. Approaching and Petting: • Instruct children to always ask the dog’s owner for permission before petting the dog. • Teach children to approach the dog calmly from the side and to offer the back of their hand for the dog to sniff before petting. 4. Recognizing Warning Signs: • Educate children on the warning signs that a dog may be uncomfortable or stressed, such as a lifted top lip, raised fur, tucked tail, snarling, or growling. These signals mean the dog needs space. 5. Proper Handling: • Demonstrate the proper way to hold a dog, especially small puppies, to avoid accidentally hurting them. Support the dog’s body and never squeeze or drop them. 6. Respect Boundaries: • Teach children not to disturb a sleeping dog, approach it while eating, or try to take away its toys or bones. These actions can provoke a defensive reaction from the dog. 7. Safety Awareness: • Educate children about human foods, small toys, and household items that can be harmful or toxic to dogs. Ensure these items are kept out of reach. 8. Gentle Play: • Encourage gentle play activities with dogs, such as throwing or kicking a ball or Frisbee, walking, grooming, and petting. Avoid roughhousing and games that can lead to accidental harm. 9. Avoid Tug-O-War: • Avoid playing Tug-O-War games with dogs as they may interpret it as a challenge for dominance, which can lead to aggressive behavior. 10. Training Commands: • Train your dog to drop whatever it has in its mouth on command, and teach your children how to use this command effectively. This can prevent accidents and teach the dog to respect boundaries. 11. Developing a Relationship: • Older children should learn how to develop a positive relationship with the dog, such as not allowing the dog to pull ahead during walks. This helps the dog understand its place in the family. • Younger children should always be supervised while walking a dog, as they may be easily overpowered or let go of the leash, putting both the child and the dog at risk.

CRATE TRAINING TIPS: Yes No

Crate training is an important skill for every dog to learn as it provides them with a safe space and prepares them for various situations where confinement may be necessary (vet visits, grooming, pet-sitting, etc.). Even if you believe your dog doesn’t need crate training, it is still beneficial to introduce them to it. Here are some guidelines to help you crate train your dog: 1. Start Slow: If your dog is not accustomed to being in a crate, introduce them gradually to help them associate positive experiences with it. Begin by feeding all meals in the crate. This creates a positive association between the crate and rewards. If your dog is reluctant to go inside, place the food bowl at the back of the crate. They will likely enter to follow the food. Leave the crate door open initially to allow them to feel comfortable. 2. Supervision: During the initial stages, ensure there are no other dogs around that can access the food inside the crate. This prevents any potential conflicts or resource guarding. 3. Gradual Alone Time: Once your dog has had some time to decompress and adjust, and all dogs in the household have been together for at least a few months, you can start leaving them alone in the crate for short periods (10-20 minutes) while you’re away. However, this should only be done after ensuring there are no triggers present (food, toys, etc.) and you are confident that the dogs are safe together unsupervised. 4. Building Trust: If your dog demonstrates trustworthiness during alone times, you can gradually increase the duration of their crate confinement. Some dogs may require less structure, but for those who need more boundaries, crate training can be particularly beneficial. 5. Seek Help if Needed: It’s important to note that some dogs may have adverse reactions to crates and can injure themselves. If your dog exhibits extreme behaviors such as bending the crate bars, attempting to escape, soiling when previously house-trained, or showing signs of anxiety, it is crucial to seek assistance from the rescue organization or a professional trainer in the support group. An alternative plan may need to be developed for these dogs. Remember, crate training should always be approached with patience, positive reinforcement, and consideration for your dog’s individual needs. I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE TO FOLLOW THE CRATING GUIDELINES

Foster Event Participation Guidelines Yes No

At Dallas DogRRR, we strongly encourage foster parents to actively market their foster pets. Attending adoption events and taking your foster pet to pet-friendly locations can significantly increase their chances of being noticed by potential adopters. Here are the guidelines and expectations regarding event participation: 1. Event Attendance: • We require foster parents to attend at least two adoption events per month. We have events every weekend, often more, located throughout Dallas, North Dallas, Plano, McKinney, Grapevine, Garland, Murphy, Rockwall, and Allen. There is usually an event close to you. 2. Transportation: • If you are unable to transport your foster pet to events due to work or other commitments, we have volunteers who can assist with transportation. Some volunteers can even hold your foster pet overnight if necessary. Communicate with your foster buddy to arrange transportation. 3. Importance of Participation: • It is crucial to get your foster pet out there and seen by potential adopters. The longer a dog stays in foster care, the more people may question why they have not been adopted yet. Sometimes, it is no fault of their own; the foster may be busy or things come up. Actively participating in events ensures that your foster pet gets the exposure they need. 4. Networking and Marketing: • Posting pictures and updating your foster pet’s bio are important tasks. These updates help potential adopters get to know your foster pet better and increase their chances of finding a forever home. 5. Exposure and Socialization: • Attending adoption events and visiting pet-friendly stores and restaurants help your foster pet build social skills and get accustomed to different environments. This exposure is beneficial for their development and increases their adoption chances. 6. Commitment: • By signing up to foster, you are taking on the responsibility of helping your foster pet get adopted. This includes making sure they attend events and are seen by potential adopters. If you cannot attend events, work with volunteers, your foster buddy, or the foster coordinator to ensure your foster pet gets to the events.
