Episode 36 – Shelter Puppies – Carol & Marley’s Story

How do you know what to expect when you adopt a puppy from a shelter?

Puppies born in or taken to shelters at an early age probably face quite a few different challenges to other puppies.

Don’t get me wrong, puppies bred in large scale breeding facilities and sold via pet shops also face challenges, as do puppies that have altered genetics or are challenged epigenetically, however, shelters bring their own set of circumstances with them and, if you are considering getting a puppy from a shelter, I would advise that you do some research and go into the puppy adventure with eyes wide open!

In this episode, Dr Katrin chats to Carol, who, together with her husband Paul, adopted the lovely Marley from a shelter in Abu Dhabi as a puppy.

Have a listen as they chat about Marley’s unique behavioural challenges, how these affected Carol and Paul and how Dr Katrin and Ilse helped them understand Marley better and put a treatment plan in place to help Marley become a happier, healthier individual, one that the whole family can now enjoy!

We really hope you enjoy this episode; it is packed with so much information!
