Open Paws

TLAC is implementing a new training program called Open Paws. You can read articles about it here and here.

Trainings for the new methods are beginning and new pilot programs are starting. One that I'm particularly excited about is feeding the dogs through puzzle toys instead of bowls. Not only are the dogs' lives being enriched while at the shelter, staff has made flyers for the kennels teaching the public about what's going on. A lot of the credit for this goes to a new staff member, who used to be a volunteer, and is now the Animal Care Supervisor.

I look forward to this new program and the results it might bring.
