“Approximately 900 MILLION dogs live worldwide, the vast
majority roam free, living as dogs do when not controlled by
a human. In the USA alone, about 89 million companion dogs
must live under their guardian or owner’s terms and
conditions. For many dogs, this means living a less than
ideal life. Yet, their willingness to bond with and
accommodate their human is unique in the Animal Kingdom and
is one that should last their lifetime. But it doesn't
always work out that way. As we humans often say, "Life
happens," but for our dogs "Their life happens
according to their human." Sometimes natural canine
behavior issues and unnatural ones are the result of their
human-canine relationship, living conditions, home
environment or even inappropriate human behavior. All of
this is what we study at the Center in order to better
understand and support the bond and save dogs from surrender
that leads too often to euthanasia. When you participate in
our research, you help save lives.”
