Adoption Counseling - Not every
dog is right for every person or
family. I will help you evaluate your
expectations and lifestyle and
select a breed with a temperament
and size that is right for you.  If you
are looking for a specific type of
dog, a certain breed but want to
find that dog at a shelter, I will find
the dog for you.  The rates for this
service vary, so call for a quote
Education - Good dog, bad owner.  
Yes you can spay very very young
puppies, no, it does not affect their
"manliness" dogs do not have
"manliness", they breed to
propagate their species - that's it,
no love involved, they do not
pleasure their women.  Yes your
dogs need vaccinations, no it does
not shorten their lifespan.  Yes you
can catch some illnesses your dog
may contract, so yes, your dog
must have yearly veterinary
examinations, for your health as
well as his.  If you have questions,
email me at deb@thedognextdoor.
