UPCOMING WORKSHOPS AND TRAINING VIDEOS BY YOUR DOG’S
FRIEND– For details, location, and to register for a workshop, visit Your Dog's
Friend at https://yourdogsfriend.org/free-workshops. Or call 301-983-5913.
Instead of meeting in person, workshops will be webinars that can be joined
from your computer, tablet, or phone. You will still be able to ask questions.
The Dark Side of Being Social – how overly friendly dogs can become reactive.
Saturday, Oct 17, 2:00 – 4:00pm. We all love having a friendly, social dog that likes
other dogs, but there’s another less discussed side effect. Social dogs rush in to meet
every other dog, making their behavior seem rude and threatening. They often
ignore other dogs’ warning signs and blunder into conflicts. They are frustrated when they can’t meet every dog
they see, leading to displaced aggression or outright reactivity. Watching our friendly dogs become reactive is
both confusing and upsetting. However, our speaker is here to explain how to prevent it from happening.

Advice for Adopters – monthly guidance for adopters, potential adopters & fosters. Sunday, October 18,
1:30 - 3:30. Learn how to make life with your adopted dog easier and more fun! Come hear a trainer discuss dog
training and behavior, helpful pet products, and the many common issues that dog adopters face. There is also
time to discuss your individual concerns. This workshop is a must for new adopters, but will also help those of
you who have lived with your dog longer. Potential adopters and foster parents are welcome. Presented by Sarah
Stoycos, KPA-CTP (www.laughingdogacademy.com); Lisa Arant (www.smallandtalldogtraining.com); or Susan
Sanderson, PMCT2, KPA-CTP (www.joyfuldogllc.com). Please click to register in advance so that we email you
the info you’ll need to join the webinar.
CRITICAL NEED OF FOSTER HOMES
QUARANTINE FOSTERS NEEDED – This is single biggest thing affecting our
ability to bring in dogs. Our Rockville kennel, Sniffers, requires incoming dogs to
have been out of shelter for 10 days prior to entering the kennel. We need volunteers
who can foster a dog for anywhere from a couple of days to the full 10 days after
transport. It's a low-commitment way to dip your toes into fostering. Most of the
time it will need to be the full 10 days, but sometimes is shortened if they are in vet
boarding after spay/neuter for a couple of days. If you think you might like to
participate in this volunteer opportunity, please contact Dave Campbell at dog-
coordinator@paw-rescue.org.
BELLA – I am a one year old, 52-pound,
American Bulldog mix (they think...but who really
knows!). My friend, a PAW volunteer, rescued me
from a pretty yucky situation where I was forced to
live outside. Lucky for me, my friend from PAW
came to meet me and, although I was pretty scared of
her initially, she gave me these yummy treats so I
figured she must be a pretty cool lady, I gave her
kisses to show my appreciation. The nice people at
PAW got me spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.
Now I’m waiting to find my forever home! I’m still a
bit scared because my world has been turned upside
down...but I do warm up quite quickly to nice people!
If interested in fostering BELLA, please contact Dave
Campbell at dog-coordinator@paw-rescue.org.

EMMANUEL is a 4-year old, 46-pound hound
mix. He is a pretty laid-back pup who enjoys spending
time with people and giving kisses! His second favorite
pastime is sniffing allll the smells! If interested in
fostering EMMANUEL, please contact Dave Campbell
at dog-coordinator@paw-rescue.org.
ROCKY was recently returned to PAW after three
years with his adoptive family. He is very scared and
shy. The family decided they didn’t want to work on his
fears. We are still learning about him, but know that he
is a 75-pound Coon Hound and in desperate need of a
stable situation. If you are interested in fostering
ROCKY, please contact Dave Campbell at dog-
coordinator@paw-rescue.org.

ADOPTION SHOWS CANCELLED
ADOPTION SHOWS CANCELLED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE: Due to the COVID-19 State of
Emergency declared by Governor Hogan, PAW has suspended all adoption events. Our mission remains
unchanged during this period: we are a group of volunteers chartered to facilitate the rescue and adoption of
homeless domestic animals, mainly dogs and cats, and place them in loving and stable homes. We are still in
the business of saving animals! As such,
• ADOPTIONS WILL CONTINUE. If anyone is interested in adopting, we ask that they apply via our
website, and we will schedule a meet and greet.
• SOME DOG WALKING WILL CONTINUE. If you are going a little stir crazy while you are keeping
a social distance, consider volunteering to walk one of our dogs. Please contact our Dog Walking
Coordinators to check availability.

• FOSTER HOMES ARE ALWAYS NEEDED: You are at home anyway; wouldn’t it be fun to have a
companion who would be eternally grateful? If interested, contact Dave Campbell at dog-
coordinator@paw-rescue.org or Heather Nawrocki at cat-coordinator@paw-rescue.org.
