ACME CANINE'S
DOG OF THE MONTH
OUTLAW
October Dog
of the Month
Outlaw is a 12 year old yellow Labrador with a great personality. When Outlaw’s owner, Iman Azur, contacted us Outlaw had terrible insecurities and barking issues. Iman wanted him to be the same loveable fur ball he always has been, but more comfortable and confident in himself.
We took on the challenge of desensitizing Outlaw to his fears and building his confidence. We gave him the tools to behave in a variety of situations. Outlaw got the idea. We also gave Iman the tools to help Outlaw. Today Outlaw and Iman participate in many of Acme Canine’s social events and can explore new towns together and trails and downtown areas and outdoor exhibits.
Congratulations Iman on being a responsible dog owner and to Outlaw, our October dog of the month.

Autumn Safety Tips
From the ASPCA
Ah, fall—there’s nothing like crisp, cool air, the first months of school and luscious foliage to get you excited for the changing seasons. Your pet, too, is probably welcoming the break from hot, sticky weather. But pet parents, beware—fall is also a time of lurking dangers for our furry friends. From household poisons to cold weather hazards, the season is a minefield!

 National Adopt A Shelter Dog Month
From the Doghobbyist.com
October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month and The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) suggests people who are looking for "man's best friend" to check out the millions of dogs at local shelters across the country. However, responsible pet ownership requires more than simply agreeing to take an animal into your life; the potential adopter should be ready to make a commitment that will enhance the lives of both the human and the animal.

Preparing Your Dog for Ghosts and Goblins
By Lori Verni
Halloween can be a fun time of year. With all sorts of fall festivals, costumes, trick-or-treating and candy, most households, both with and without children, will join in the festivities to some extent.
While this can be a fun time of year for humans, it is not always fun or safe for our pets. There are many problems that may occur with dogs this time of year, and now is the time to begin working on them… ahead of time! (READ MORE)
