NOTICES, REMINDERS, AND REQUESTS
DOG WALKERS NEEDED AT COLLEGE PARK ANIMAL
HOSPITAL - We’re still in need of new volunteers to add to our walkers list!
Training provided! Each week, Lou sends out an e-mail asking for your
availability in the coming week. Most people volunteer once or twice a week
(and, depending on your schedule, not even every week) for a short or long
walk around the
neighborhood along with
some cuddle and belly rub
time. A few minutes of your week will make a world of
difference to one of our dogs at the clinic - fresh air, sniffs,
and some time with you provide such a needed break in the
day. How ‘bout it? Contact Lou at [email protected] to find out more.

Helping the Under-Socialized Dog. Saturday, July 17, 2:00 – 4:00pm.
Everyone knows the importance of socialization to raising a happy, well rounded
adult dog. But what happens if you miss that prime socialization period up to 12
weeks? In this webinar, we will explore what happens when we don’t socialize our
puppy and what you can do as a pet parent to help your under-socialization dog
navigate this big, scary world. Speaker: Jessey Scheip, Boarded Behavior Nurse, Animal Behavior Wellness
Center (www.abwellnesscenter.com). Please register in advance so that you receive the info you’ll need to join
the webinar.
Advice for Adopters & Puppy Parents. Sunday, July 18, 2:00 – 4:00. Learn how to make life with your
new dog easier and more fun! Come hear a trainer discuss dog training and behavior, helpful pet products, and
the many common issues that new dog parents face. There is also time to discuss your individual concerns.

Although designed for new dog and puppy parents, this webinar will also help those of you who have lived with
your dog longer. Potential adopters and foster parents are also welcome. Presented by: Sarah Stoycos, KPA-
CTP (www.laughingdogacademy.com); Lisa Arant (www.smallandtalldogtraining.com); Susan Sanderson,
PMCT2, KPA-CTP (www.joyfuldogllc.com); or Marnie Montgomery, PMCT3, CPDT-KA
(www.joyfuldogllc.com). Please register in advance so that you receive the info you’ll need to join the webinar.
VOLUNTEER TRAINING SERIES ON ENGAGING WITH SOCIAL
MEDIA
This series is trying to help us make the most of our engagement with social media. The more that we engage
with the PAW social media posts of our animals, the more the overseer algorithm will put them in front of other
viewers, increasing their chances for adoption. This is the final segment of the series.
Thanks to Liza Malnik, Outreach and Social Media Coordinator, for putting this together for us. She
took the course through Maddie’s Fund and is sharing with the group to maximize impact.
Post # 6- Video Content One thing the algorithms (the way a platform decides how many people will see any given post) take into
account is how long people watch videos and live feeds. The longer you watch, the more it will be shown to
supporters. We’re not saying that if you’re busy you should put down your phone and let the video play itself
out…but you can.
You can find more information on Facebook’s algorithm at https://blog.hootsuite.com/facebook-algorithm/

CRITICAL NEED OF FOSTER HOMES
TWO BONDED SENIORS
This 14-year old pair needs a foster home before we will take them. Fostering dogs like these is an exerise in
compassion on your part and dignity on theirs. They deserve to see out their days in a loving home. They are
sometimes a bit more work and mess but they have learned all of the best charm tricks you cannot resist.
There is some kidney failure going on here that is under control. Give it a try. If you are interested in
fostering this pair, please contact Dave Campbell at [email protected].

GENEVA is a 5-year-old, 65-pound Treeing Walker
Coonhound. She is a very sweet girl who can be a little
timid at first. She does not know any commands and
needs to gain confidence. She loves just being next to
you but doesn't like other dogs jumping on her or rough
play. She is heartworm positive and will be beginning
treatment in the next few weeks. It would really help to
have her in a foster home during treatment. If you would
be interested in fostering GENEVA, please contact Tracy
Crotty at [email protected].
ROXY is a 4 year old, 67-pound Labrador
Retriever/Akita mix. She is a sweet girl who likes
attention and giving kisses. She would be good
with kids over the age of 12 . She is still new to
PAW and we will update as we learn more. If
you would be interested in fostering ROXY,
please contact Tracy Crotty at

MARTI is a 3-year-old, 68-pound Labrador Retriever
mix. Marti recently had a seizure at the kennel, she is
doing well, however would do better in a home setting.
She is a happy sweet girl who would love nothing more
to stay by your side and shower you with doggie
kisses. Her condition has stabilized, and she is on meds
to control the seizures. She would not do well in an
apartment. If you would be interested in fostering
MARTI, please contact Tracy Crotty at
QUEEN - Hi! I’m Queen, the sweetest pittie
around! I’m 2 years old and 48 pounds of love!
Although I'm 2, I still act like a puppy! I have a
lot of energy, looooove to play with doggy
friends (and don't always take "no" for an answer
from other dogs; I don't get why they don't
always want to play- just like meee!) and am still
working on my house manners. Sometimes you
just have to chew on things! I also really enjoy
playing with humans and haven't yet learned that
they don't always like me to play with my teeth...
apparently, they think it hurts. Bummer! For this
reason, I'd do best in a home with kids over the
age of 12. If you are interested in fostering
QUEEN, please contact Dave Campbell at dog-

BROWNIE is a 5-year-old, 35-pound, lab/beagle
mix (or possibly whippet?) who has just arrived from
Puerto Rico. We are still getting to know him and will
update once we have more information. If you are
interested in fostering BROWNIE, please contact Dave
Campbell at [email protected].
ROCKY, a PAW volunteer favorite, is a stunning
four-year-old treeing walker coonhound who weighs
about 70 pounds. Everyone who knows him is in love
with him! He’s an affectionate companion who enjoys
exploring trails, trotting down sidewalks, or just sitting
next to you on the ground cuddling. He wriggles his
behind and prances with his front paws when he knows
he’s going for a stroll. While out and about, Rocky
simply glances at the people and other dogs along the
way. Rocky relishes human affection—he especially
delights in ear massages. Also, when you scratch his
neck under his jaw, he points his nose straight up to the
sky and closes his eyes. Rocky is house trained. Maybe
seeing his video will want you to give him a PAW foster
try. Here is Rocky Boy the Hound: Petstablished |

our easy-to-use software. If you are interested in
fostering ROCKY, please contact Dave Campbell at dog-

Kosack, Sonny Bloom, Liz Symonds, Clayton Englar, Rachel Galginaitis, Ryan Galginaitis, Sanjeeta Pant,

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
MAX TWO – NOW JAX (in his forever home for a week now): “We renamed
Max to be called Jax. He is a sweet little boy and adjusting so well. He is very
funny and smart!!!! We just love him.”
Thanks to Bill Mercurio for fostering
Max 2. He was adopted last week, but
we forgot to thank his wonderful foster!
Our foster parents are such a vital part of
what PAW does. THANK YOU!

NACHO - NOW CHARLIE “is settling in well. He
and my other dog are getting along and playing. He is
very high on the velcro scale and follows me
everywhere. We need to work on me leaving him in the
house, but I'm sure he'll get better with time and effort.
He's getting calmer with the cats. That will take a while
since they have places they can go that he can't, and
they've been mostly avoiding him. My male cat, Odin,
has actually rubbed against him a couple of times. Odin
is disinclined to run, so they're making progress pretty
quickly. He loves toys and enjoys exploring the contents of the two toy boxes.”
ROGER - NOW RANSOME “We have all been settling in
well and have a great routine that Ransome seems to enjoy.
He goes on daily walks in the morning and evening to
explore the neighborhood. Living with a Reiki master,
Ransome enjoys all the belly rubs he can get!
He is a bit afraid of riding in the car, but is able to tolerate
short trips to the park and local pet store. He is walking well
on the leash and loves the fenced in yard where he has his
midday playtime. He also poses for photos. I am so happy
to have Ransome!
P.S. Ransome is an English surname meaning "Warrior's shield". What a great name for a Manchester terrier.”
