FIDUS Pet Concierge

Fidus Communities Dane Park Grapevine and Dane Park North Garland want to remind everyone that thousands of amazing, loving dogs are in need of homes this holiday season.

While it's a fantastic idea to welcome a furry family member into your home, we encourage everyone to first consider fostering. Fostering allows your family to understand what it means to be a pawrent, to learn more about a breed or age of pup you are interested in having around for their entire lifetime AND it allows the rescue or shelter the space to continue to save more dogs. There are many options when it comes to fostering: you can foster for short or long-term, you can foster-to-adopt or you can foster until the dog has been adopted! During this time, the dog has a home while getting prepared for their forever family and your family can decide if owning a dog is truly the right fit!

And don't forget! We all love a story!

Trust us, you do NOT want to spend the day or night at the vet due to your pup getting sick on food they cannot eat!

There's a lot of food associated with Thanksgiving, and sometimes we want to share with our furry family members - but some foods are poisonous to dogs. Take a look at the second picture to understand what you must be sure your dog does not ingest this week. It's better to be safe than sorry, so if you're not sure exactly what is in the delicious food on your plate, don't share it with any dogs in the room!

It's Fidus and this little smooshy face needs a home!

Meet Georgie from Legacy Humane Society who is hoping his head tilt will raise the question "where is my forever family?" amongst everyone! Georgie is a Staffordshire Terrier mix who will need some help learning the basics of being a great pup! He is doing well with leash training and has made some doggy friends at the shelter. He’s fun and loves people and seems like he would really enjoy training and learning new things – he’s a smart one! Would you like this wrinkly face in your life, even if temporarily? He would love to be fostered for the holiday!

Fidus Communities Dane Park Grapevine and Dane Park North Garland love to strengthen the bond between people and dogs. Fostering is extremely beneficial for dogs in shelters, as they are given the opportunity to decompress and learn to love again.
