Titan was a Husky that was brought in just an hour before the shelter employees went home for the evening. They got him settled and closed up. Shortly after the humans left, Titan found a way to free himself from the crate and spent the evening having a party. The staff returned in the morning and were in shock. He had spent the night destroying everything in the office.
The staff brilliantly made the decision to post about his party on social media. Thanks to that post, Titan was adopted almost immediately. He is now living in his forever home with another Husky. Hopefully, he's still having fun, but maybe with less destruction. | | Go Fetch Finance Tips!

Fydoo released a self-cleaning toilet for dogs, and they are working to get additional funding on Shark Tank. The toilet is designed for pet parents who live in an apartment without a backyard, somewhere with lots of bad weather days, or people who are currently potty training their dogs.
The contraption requires access to a water tap and a waste drain on the floor. It could work in some laundry rooms, bathrooms, courtyards, or balconies. There is a sensor that detects when your dog uses the toilet, and the high-pressure water jets clean the grass and break down solid waste.
Is this the future for pet owners? The environmentally-friendly system might be perfect for some dogs to take care of business. | | | Image courtesy of Pretty Fluffy. | | Ten Ways to Help Your Senior Dog Enjoy Their Golden Years
Dogs are part of our families, and we want them to be comfortable and happy even as they get older. If you have a senior dog, you might wonder how to keep them happy and healthy. These ten tips will help you keep your pup feeling good even as they age. - Have regular vet visits. Once they get older, scheduling checkups every six months is better. This can help vets catch any problems early and help treat them.
- Be aware of any physical and mental changes. Dogs will try to hide any pain or discomfort, so just pay close attention to any changes in their behavior.
- Keep your senior dog physically active. Mobility is important to keep joints and muscles toned. Walks are great for keeping dogs active without too much intensity.
- Mentally stimulate your dog. Teach your dogs new tricks or introduce new puzzle toys that challenge their minds. Even games like hide and seek can help their brains stay sharp.
- Maintain a safe environment. As they age, dogs may lose hearing or sight, so keeping their environment safe and obstacle-free is important. Slippery surfaces can present issues as well when dogs have mobility challenges.
- Make necessary diet and supplement changes. Talk to your vet about the best supplements and nutrition options for your dog as they age. They may need different food when they are less active. Omega three fatty acids can help with joint health as well.
- Cater to their special needs. Dogs may have to go to the bathroom more often when they get older, so potty pads may be necessary. You may also need harnesses or special feeders to make their daily activities easier.
- Grooming should be scheduled regularly. Grooming sessions allow you to check your dog's condition and catch lumps, bumps, and other issues. It also helps stimulate the skin and keep it healthy.
- Give extra love and attention. Spend time showering your pup with extra love and attention. Spend time snuggling together and going on special excursions.
- Be patient and enjoy the golden years. Soak in these moments with your dog and be present with them as much as possible. Time goes fast, so make sure to enjoy the moments.
