adoptorshopresponsibly hashtag performance

The hashtag #adoptorshopresponsibly promotes responsible pet ownership, encouraging adoption from shelters rather than purchasing from breeders. It emphasizes compassion, awareness, and the importance of providing loving homes for animals in need.
💔 We’ve gotten a lot of criticism for advocating for dogs like this Anatolian Shepherd, Oliver. 😢  👉 People have asked countless times, “What are you thinking when you’re working a high risk dog?” I’m in the moment; observing, assessing and always taking action. Even remaining still is an action. I also tend to view the interaction from above as an invisible third party. This video gives you some of my thoughts. 👆 🚫 ”What about the haters?” “lol, yep.. what about em?” 🤣  📍📍📍📍 💪 The Anatolian Shepherd is a large, powerful, and agile dog breed that originated in Turkey. They are known for being protective, loyal, and territorial. They are also known for being reserved, calm, and loud so none of this surprised me. 👍 @Brick City Rescue contacted us about Oliver in a very high stress, less than adequate, animal control facility. 💀 A dog of Oliver’s paralyzing fear doesn’t stand a chance there 💉💉. They simply don’t have the resources.  ❤️ Staying right sized is of the utmost importance when working shelter dogs in this state or fight or flight; both literally and figuratively. The situation in the moment must be changed asap as well. Hence, the priority removal into a quiet area. 🤐 That includes people… STFU! I do too! No baby talk.  🙏 Share and watch as Oliver improves with us. Stay tuned for part 2 as we show you how misinterpreted dogs can be, the power and beauty of silence, and the results of benevolent leadership. #anatolianshepherd #livestockguardiandog #fearfuldog #shelterdogs #shelterdogsrock #rescuedog #adoptdontshop #adoptorshopresponsibly #dogrehabilitation #DogTraining #germanshepherd #germanshepherdsoftiktok #doglovers #dogtrainer #dogloverforever #dogloversclub #dogbehavior #doglife #obediancetraining #dogtrainingadvice #dogtrainingtips #bergencounty #bergencountynj

😀 Watch Oliver transform! He was fairly shut down and was resorting to remaining still, aka, “freeze.” It’s one of the defense mechanisms.  🙏 Fortunately, this Anatolian Shepherd would follow me. A fearful dog like Oliver needs distance, hence the extended leash setup. We also avoided making eye contact with him.  💪 Little by little, Oliver started walking closer. Embodiment of stability through SILENT communication is key. Movement speaks volumes.  Yes, feeding at appropriate moments is also important.  🤐 Remember, reassurance, as typically understood by humans, is TOXIC to dogs! 🚫“It’s ok… it’s ok” 🚫 🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐            SHUT UP, please.  😀 We moved together. Kind decisions were patiently made for Oliver, and he survived, therefore building trust. He went into his foster home @Brick City Rescue where he will continue to be loved and respected.  We’re so grateful to have been a part of Oliver’s story and to have brought him benevolent leadership.  #anatolianshepherd #livestockguardiandog #fearfuldog #shelterdogs #shelterdogsrock #rescuedog #adoptdontshop #adoptorshopresponsibly #dogrehabilitation #DogTraining #germanshepherd #germanshepherdsoftiktok #doglovers #dogtrainer #dogloverforever #dogloversclub #dogbehavior #doglife #obediancetraining #dogtrainingadvice #dogtrainingtips #bergencounty #bergencountynj
⬇️ Remember CHINO!? His days were numbered 💀💀 💉💉 Chino was considered unadoptable due to his breed. Pitbull mix dogs in shelters are often approached incorrectly and prejudged. It is imperative we approach dogs by temperament, not by breed. 🐕 It’s the same as how we should approach PEOPLE.... By character, not physical CHARACTERISTICS! 🙂 He's thriving in his new home after his people followed the suggestions. They made themselves represent stability and implement benevolent leadership. #shelterdog #shelterdogsrock #rescuedog #adoptdontshop #adoptorshopresponsibly  #dogrehabilitation #DogTraining#puppytraining #pitbull #pitbulladvocate #pitbullmix #doglovers #dogtrainer  #dogloverforever  #dogloversclub #dogbehavior #dogmomlife #dogdad #doglife #obediancetraining #dogtrainingadvice #dogtrainingtips  #bergencounty #bergencountynj
I will only support ethical breeders for my dogs. My current dogs and cats deserve safety. The dog deserves mental and physical stability and health. I deserve a dog who fits my lifestyle. Ethical breeders are part of the solution #dogs #dogsoftiktok #dogtok #dogbreeding #ethicalbreeding #purebred #purebreddogs #wellbred #adoptorshopresponsibly #adoptorshop #adoptdontshop #adoptdontshopistoxic #cattok #catsanddogs
browsing puppy mill websites 😵‍💫 #adoptorshopresponsibly
Replying to @juliacasillas06 I fear you may not actually care about dogs, but rather your own savior complex. If you cared, you’d understand it’s unfair to ask a shelter dog to fit my specific lifestyle, needs and wants, and I’m not comfortable with the risk of them not doing so.  #adoptorshopresponsibly #adoptdontshop #ethicalbreeding #ethicalbreeder #puppy #puppytok #puppytiktok #dogtok #dogtok #dogtoker #poodlepuppy #poodle #standardpoodle #dogbreeding #purebred #purebreddog #dogowner #dogowners #fy

Replying to @Hellu let’s go over what animal hoarding actually is, because a clean home where the animals are provided proper nutrition, veterinary care, enrichment, socialization, exercise, and attention does not fit the bill. #dogs #dogsoftiktok #dogtok #animalhoarding #adoptorshopresponsibly #adoptorshop #shelterdog #animalcontrol #rescuedog #purebred #ethicalbreeding #purebreddogs
Replying to @rip5575 since I’ve gotten so many similar comments, I just want to make it clear that me despising puppy mills doesn’t mean I support “adopt don’t shop” or forced spay and neuter.  Adoption isn’t right for everyone. Ethical breeders are part of the solution. Dogs benefit greatly from their hormones. #dogs #dogsoftiktok #dogtok #dogbreeding #ethicalbreeding #ethicalbreeder #adoptorshop #adoptorshopresponsibly #adoptdontshop #adoptdontshopistoxic #intactdogs #intactdogsarehealthierdogs #spayandneuter #vetmed #veterinary #wellbreddog #doodleslander #puppymill

🎄SHARE OUR HOLIDAY MESSAGE 🎁🕎 💪 We’re here to share the passion we have for shelter dogs. This is the season of hope after all; the guidance of the North Star, the oil burning for 8 days.. share the hope! 😢 Around 390,000 shelter dogs are euthanized each year in the US, yet people are still unaware of the selfish, unethical practices of puppy mills, puppy stores and backyard breeders! 🤬 🐕 Don’t forget, Greta, herself was discarded and found her way to me after being saved from a shelter by a German Shepherd rescue. 🙏 We hope you had a Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah while taking a moment to reflect on the blessings dogs truly are. We’re grateful for your support as we continue on our mission of raising awareness and carrying the message of benevolent leadership.  #shelterdog #shelterdogsrock #rescuedog #adoptdontshop #adoptorshopresponsibly #DogTraining #puppytraining #germanshepherd #doglovers #dogtrainer #obediancetraining #dogtrainingadvice #dogtrainingtips #gsdlife #gsdlove #DogTraining #dogloversclub #dogbehavior #dogmomlife #dogdad #doglife #bergencounty #bergencountynj
💀 Remember Tank?💉💉He came close 💀. The growly Rottweiler? Yes… Some said his growls were aggressive. Some didn’t like the “looks” he gave. 🤦‍♀️ 🐕 Though we always approach dogs by temperament, having knowledge of breed specific tendencies is very helpful. In this case, it likely prevented Tank from taking a final walk to the vet 💀 🤔 Some breeds vocalize more and or differently than others, hence the “Rottie Rumble.” In addition, they were bred to be suspicious of strangers and vigilant guard dogs. They require a period of acclimation and relationship building!  💪 Again, as dog professionals, especially in the shelter and rescue community, we’re not permitted to dislike any one particular dog. If you do, I’m sure you can learn “want fries with that?” and explore other employment. Or, just mind your business. We must be objective regarding behavior and likelihood of successful adoption.  🙏 So, yes… Tank, the rumbly Rottweiler went home last week with his phenomenal humans after 6 months in the shelter. Thank you to all who interacted with our persistent stories featuring him on our Instagram. We’re also tremendously grateful to the few folks who trusted our assessment of Tank. We couldn’t be happier with his outcome and the overall impact of benevolent leadership. #shelterdog #shelterdogsrock #rescuedog #adoptdontshop #adoptorshopresponsibly  #dogrehabilitation #rottweilerdogs #DogTraining #puppytraining #rottweiler #doglovers #dogtrainer  #dogloverforever  #dogloversclub #dogbehavior #dogmomlife #dogdad #doglife #obediancetraining #dogtrainingadvice #dogtrainingtips #bergencounty #bergencountynj

Listen as long as you’re fulfilling your dogs, I’ll call you whatever you want. Refusing to call someone a dog mom isn’t the hill I want to die on. #dogs #dogsoftiktok #dogtok #dogparents #dogmom #dogdad #dogbreeds #DogTraining #dogbehavior #dogsocialization #adoptorshopresponsibly
This year in 2024 we found homes for 7 foster dogs! 1. ROSIE! ✨ Adopted by @jesstranchina and the official first dog to make me cry when adopted! We had this sweet girl for 7 months and she was such a rewarding adoption 🥹  2. GLORIA aka ✨GLO✨ our little mangey viral sensation! She took the Internet by storm and our rescue received the most applications ever in history for one dog. She was an incredible transformation with the help of my friend @wethreepitties and you can now follow along on her journey at @minniethehousehippo 💖 3. IGGY! ✨ My spunky little beanie baby! This confident girl was such a joy and was/is SO stunning! You can follow her at @blueeyedwinnie  4. PATTI! ✨ My snuggly little beanie baby! A little more reserved than her sister, she is now gaining so much confidence with her new fam. You can follow her at @fajita_and_ayla  5. WAFFLES! ✨ He and his little legs were found wandering around a Waffle House 🧇 and how lucky am I that he became a permanent family member because he was adopted by my cousin!! Follow his adventures at @itswaffleshaus  6. VELMA! ✨ Whatever life circumstances left her legs stained and wonky certainly didn’t slow her down! Her personality blossomed under our care and is now being spoiled like the queen she is by @girl_jessie . She even pooped on her mom at their first meeting and that didn’t stop her!  7. IVY! ✨ Single handedly increased my Christmas spirit! This floof went from being found under a car to celebrating Christmas with our family, and she rounded out 2024 by getting adopted!  What a recap! Thank you to @hopeanimalrescue for helping so many pups in need and for giving me purpose in this journey as well. If fostering seems like a 2025 goal for you, I highly encourage it! 🐶🐶  Like this video?!

Seriously this line of thinking is so backwards and wrong. But if you’re going to say someone who responsibly shopped unalived a shelter dog then you better also believe that someone who adopted from a shelter where the dogs were in no danger of euthanasia also unalived a shelter dog who was. #dogs #dogsoftiktok #dogtok #dogbreeding #ethicalbreeding #ethicalbreeder #adoptorshopresponsibly #adoptorshop #adoptdontshop #adoptdontshopistoxic #shelterdog #rescuedog #purebred

Replying to @Brittpostsvids Let’s examine the two things that happen without fail when I talk about why I choose not to adopt: 1. Someone gets mad over something I did not even say.  2. Someone gets mad because they think we should only speak positively about shelter dogs. #dogs #dogtok #dogsoftiktok #adoptorshopresponsibly #adoptorshop #adoptdontshop #adoptdontshopistoxic #shelterdog #rescuedog #purebred #ethicalbreeding #purebreddogs #greenscreen
Replying to @TheHussHouse_ Let’s go through each slide to discuss why foster based rescue is still not an avenue I’m interested in pursuing. #dogs #dogtok #dogsoftiktok #dogbreeding #ethicalbreeding #adoptorshop #adoptorshopresponsibly #dogbreeds #shelterdog #rescuedog #fosterdog #adoptdontshop #adoptdontshopistoxic #greenscreen
Literally they can have it. I show it to everyone anyway #dogs #dogtok #dogsoftiktok #dogphotography #dogphotographer #data #tiktokban #rednote #adoptorshopresponsibly
Replying to @martinazuluaga Shelter dogs aren’t a good fit for everyone. Save this energy for people supporting backyard breeders, puppy mills, puppy stores, not someone who spent years researching an ethical breeder to support. #dogs #dogsoftiktok #dogtok #dogbreeding #ethicalbreeding #ethicalbreeder #adoptorshop #adoptorshopresponsibly #adoptdontshop #adoptdontshopistoxic #wellbred #purebred #purebreddogs #shelterdog
