Each week, we summarise the tweets from my Twitter account<\/a>, so anyone who’s not on Twitter can still have access to all these great resources. It’s a huge list, so make sure you get yourself a coffee and a seat for an hour so you can really enjoy all this content.
\nBut before we get started, happy birthday to my Mac who turned 11 today!<\/p>\n

The Tweet of the Week<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I re-home dogs, I find it really hard to not just ‘information dump’ on new owners. I have so much to tell them, it’s hard to choose the most important bits – but it’s important that I do, otherwise there is the chance of the new owner becoming ‘overwhelmed’ and just ignoring everything. \u00a0Patricia McConnell (who writes the blog “The Other End of the Leash<\/a>“, as well as a number of dog training books) has written a post on “The 3 Most Important Things to Say to Adopters About Their New Dog<\/a>“. \u00a0It really made me reconsider what I need to do when homing dogs, and also gave me some reassurance in what I’m currently doing. A good read with good advice, and I had no hesitation making it my tweet of the week.<\/p>\n

Sheltering and Rescue<\/strong><\/p>\n

Letter: Adoption options not used enough<\/a>, and then SavingPets commented on a similar issue in: “The shortage of ‘good enough’ rescue dogs in Melbourne<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

I shared a bunch of SavingPets stuff this week (like almost every other week!): “NYE ‘busy shelter’ media cross- you’re doing it right!<\/a>” (I really loved this video!), “Fun with cat haters<\/a>“, \u00a0“Killing pets in the face of alternatives – Greater Shepparton edition<\/a>“, and “Failing Victoria’s Pets<\/a>“.<\/p>\n
