The Best Medicine: Playing With Shelter Dogs - Quiz

Dogs and games go together – never more than when they're shelter dogs! Play, particularly play with humans, can reduce stress and improve behavioral and physical wellness for dogs in animal shelters. Games like tag and hide and seek can help dogs with poor impulse control, jumpy/mouthy dogs,... see moreshy or anxious dogs, and dogs with kennel stress feel better. These dogs then make a better impression on adopters, and transition to their adoptive home more easily. But play isn't all fun and games! It's important for the shelter staff to design and implement such programs appropriately, to get the most benefit from them.
