Teacup samoyed puppies for adoption

I am fostering two hound mix puppies (one male and one female). There were part of a litter of six. They are around 16 weeks old and have been living with me for 5 weeks. They sleep together in an x-pen and generally do everything together. They love to play and play fight with each other.
My question: Is there any harm in remaining together until they are adopted? When do puppies become “bonded”? It’s not realistic for me to take them outside independently or spend any significant amount of time with them individually. I’m hoping at least one will be adopted soon, but I do have the option of giving one puppy to a different foster. I appreciate any guidance (and do plan on starting crate training this week!).

At the beginning of March of this, year. My family put up for adoption puppies that were born on our land. Raising eight puppies from Birth till 3 months old was a nightmare end of itself. But we still loved them. The whole three months my family and I were discussing which puppy we wanted to keep. We couldn't decide between 2 dogs. And so my parents were very adamant.On keeping both. I try to inform my parents multiple times that is not a good idea to keep siblings due to A thing called littermate syndrome that happens between puppies that are close in age.They don't have to be siblings, it’s where both dogs either become To reliance on the other dog's presents or they grow to hate each other. But they kept brushing off my Concerns and told me that we can handle it. The puppies are now 5 months old and they might as well just be wild dogs. They have .No recall skills. They barely know the word sit and one of them barks Continuously. 2 weeks in from officially adopting them. I told my parents, I can't take care of them. I love animals, but it was to the point where I wanted to harm them. ( I never did). My puppies blues were at an all time low and tell them I can't do it anymore. They overtake the responsibilities raising both dogs by themselves. So for the past 2 months I've just been trapped in my room feeling like a prisoner in my own home. I finally was able to find a full-time job. But the thing is I live in in a small town that doesn't have any apartments so I'm honestly trapped here. I applied to jobs in the nearest city. But Sadly the only job that was willing to hire me was in the small town next to my small town that also don't have any apartments. I hear the dog bark continuously every single day From the living room while i'm trapped in my room and I can hear my parents frustration and trying to calm her down. I feel so sad. Knowing that we denied these dogs a bright future with a family That can provide a healthy life for them. Even if we just kept one dog. I would have loved that dog would have taught them so many tricks worked with them to be socialized. But no, they insisted on both dogs. And now the litter mate syndrome has set in right now. they get anxiety whenever they are separated from each other. In the future. Who knows? They might wanna go after each other's throat. We will never know.. Every time I hear My parents frustration while taking care of 2 puppies. The only phrase that goes in my mind is I told you so, but you didn't listen and I hate myself for feeling that way.

I adopted a 6 month old pup a month ago and totally caved on the bed after day two. My older dog has free reign to jump up on the bed and never had any issues.
We are having issues with this puppy so I want to go back to having some boundaries in place. I want to teach her that she has to be invited up. That it’s MY bed and she doesn’t own it.
I’ve tried this with all my previous dogs and I’ve never been able to to train it. I can teach jump up and jump off with treat luring, but have zero idea how to train the “invite” part.
For example, if the dog jumps on the bed (since that’s what she is used to now) I can put her off the bed, but then how do I get her to “ask” properly to be let up?
It all seems very confusing to both the dog and me. Especially since she sees my other dog jump up on it. When it comes to dog training I very much need black and white steps to follow.

I live on a military base and found a kitten in the road right outside of the main gate. She’ll be a year old in September.
I’ve had my dog for 6 years now, I’ve had him since he was a puppy.
My kitten is amazingly sweet and so precious and cute when it comes to me or my husband. But she is a terror to our other cats (we have two others who were also adopted from someone who had found them dumped under a bridge) she is a straight up demon to our dog.
He has anxiety, and he has meds for it. She does not care. He is not reactive, even with food and will let the cats eat alongside him from his bowl. He is a sweetheart through and through! But she makes him live in fear.
She will chase him throughout the house and bat at his paws and bite him, smacking his face and such and whenever I notice this I stop her and give him some love to forget about it. But a lot of times theyll be in the living room and suddenly he will come running and try to sit on my head while he shakes and whines.
Today this happened and she had followed him onto the bed and he started yowling like he was in pain and hiding under the covers to avoid her.
I’ve never had a situation like this. She isn’t doing anything that actually hurts him but clearly she frustrates and scares him. I don’t know what to do! I’ve had cats my whole life and dogs as well and never had an issue with either messing around with each other.

I adopted a Sheepadoodle 3 months ago and he really has been such an angel. He was 10 months old when we got him and he seemed to have missed a lot of training as a puppy. I’ve tried my absolute best training him myself and it’s proven to be a challenge.
The biggest behavioral issue is that he is too playful and bites. We’ve tried redirecting to toys and that works for when he wants to start playing with you or when you’re indoors, but outside is a whole other issue. Sometimes he gets these zoomies and he’ll just lunge at you, mouth wide open trying to bite you. Again I don’t think he is actually being aggressive as he is genuinely a sweetheart, but I feel bad cause he wasn’t trained as a puppy and has these terrible habits when he’s 13 months old. (He’s also a big poodle mix, close to 80 pounds)
It’s hard to just turn around because of how massive he is, it’s hard to ignore him because of his size as well. When we are outside I can’t redirect him to a toy when he’s running at me full speed jumping and hurling himself towards us.
He recently just did this 30 minutes of me writing this and he ripped my shirt and caused a huge gash on my back.
We’re genuinely worried about if there’s something wrong with him or what we could do. I know everyone is against e-collars and I’m trying my best to exhaust every option before needing to use one, but my family is pressing me to get one because they’re worried if that was them outside with him.
I need some advice on what is the best course of action because it seems like our big puppy is regressing in his behavior a bit.
Note: He also has been on and off having diarrhea for a week basically, giving him chicken and rice, sweet potato, pumpkin, and it seems to come and go so idk if that’s part of it too. I am trying to schedule an appointment at the vet atm

So I’ve been caring for this pup that I got off wag for quite a long time actually. Bonds have been built, with myself and the owner who the pup has become significantly attached to because she was adopted after being a stray and was found in Arizona and brought to nyc. She’s largely excelled in leash training and others but then she also got moved to a new house and isn’t really being given time to acclimate. Been there just a few days and already considering rehoming.
Now to the advice. The owner who I suspected was one of those has a dog for an accessory to be fair may be true. I was informed that the pup is being considered for rehome because the parent has run into the typical puppy stuff. Random excitement; occasional barking, nipping at the hands and stuff. Because I’m lost I’ve trained her solidly for weeks and none of these things happen when I have her. She doesn’t bark at night, she rarely bites and if it is it’s a playful one but she was in training to prevent that kind of playing and was progressing well.
I’m not sure how to proceed with the parent because she hasn’t indicated that she’s going to cancel services or anything or a 100% rehome but I am kind of disappointed in her and would not be able to service her again if she were to get another pet but I’m not sure what to do or how to tell her that if she does indeed rehome because this is cruel. The dog has never bit anything seriously, was brought halfway around the country, among other things.
I fear that if she cannot rehome it she will attempt to do it herself out of fear of losing her apartment thereby endangering the dog with anyone who would willingly take her.
Any advice is helpful. I want to make sure this pup goes down the right path.

Was in the park last weekend when I found the cutest, most scared little puppy. I couldn't resist feeding him some snacks, and next thing I knew, he was following me home. Now I'm covered in dog hair, wondering what to do. I've never had a pet before, so caring for a puppy is new territory. But there's something about his sweet face that's making me fall for him. I was really torn on whether to keep him or try to find his owner. In the end, I decided to take him to the local animal shelter. They were able to scan him for a microchip and contact his family, who had been searching for him. I was a bit sad to see him go, but I'm relieved the shelter could reunite him with his loved ones. For now, I'm just happy I could help this little guy find his way back home. Sometimes the right choice isn't the easiest, but I know I made the responsible decision. Guess I'll have to visit the shelter more often to get my puppy fix!

This happened about two weeks ago.
For context, the houses in my (15F) neighborhood are placed in straight lines, so all of our yards are connected like one long strip of grass. The dog I shot lived 3 houses down from me and the one who was attacked lives right next to me. The further down neighbor got an XL bully type dog about 2 months ago, and the other dog was a puppy my neighbors had adopted a few weeks earlier. They also have two young kids and one other dog that’s also very small, both of them are about the size of an average cat. The puppy is very yappy because it hasn’t been trained yet. The owner of the big dog has an electric fence and lets it hang out off leash in the front/back yards, and whenever I walk by it starts barking like crazy and acting aggressive. I’ve seen dogs jump their electric fences so I keep an eye on their yard when I’m outside, especially when the neighbor’s kids or dogs are out. Also note my parents keep a shotgun propped against the wall next to the door that opens out into my back porch.
The day this happened I was sitting on my porch reading while the neighbor kids were playing with both their dogs outside. The XL owner let it out the back door and I didn’t pay much attention to it at first, but after it did its business, it started like jogging/quickly trotting in our direction. It walked straight through where the fence was supposed to be. It wasn’t acting crazy but this freaked me out so I opened the door to my parents’ room and sat back down with the shotgun in my lap. The kids were excited about the doggy and went to go pet it as it got closer but it walked right past them and went up to the new puppy, who was yapping quite a bit. It didn’t growl, stiffen, or show any sign of aggression, just lunged right for it and caught in its mouth. The puppy was so small that basically like 2/3 of its body was in this dog’s mouth. The kids screamed and ran inside and the dog just clenched its jaw onto the little one while it started making horrible loud whining. I was sitting still atp l but when I saw blood in the little dog’s fur I just got up and shot the XL through the head. It was only like five feet away from me and I think it died on the spot. It kind of collapsed with its jaw still around the puppy.
The kids’ parents, my older brother, and a few other concerned dads rushed out when they heard the gunshot. There was a lot of yelling and I tried to explain what happened while the kids’ mom grabbed the little dog and rushed off with it. The couple that owns the XL stepped outside and everyone started yelling at them to get over here, and when they did they looked more pissed than concerned. They demanded to know what happened and I explained properly. Both dog owners were mad as hell. The XL owners started cussing me out and asking why I would intervene in a “dog fight”. I didn’t reply and the kids’ dad told me to go inside and that he’d deal with it, so I did. I was pretty shaken up so I just went up to my room and put my headphones on. It was the first time I had fired a gun at a living thing. I don’t know what they were talking about but I could hear muffled yelling for like 10 minutes afterward.
Since then, the XL owner’s have found my facebook and been commenting on some of my posts calling me a dog killer and an animal abuser as well as some slurs for Mexican people (I’m brown but not Mexican). They are also sometimes on their front porch when I walk home from school and yell stuff like “Hi, cunt!” in a passive aggressive voice. I just ignore them completely. My neighbors are working on a police report and want to wait until they’ve got all of the medical bills they want to sue for so they and my parents can sue them at the same time (my parents want to sue for my emotional distress). My family and most of my neighbors have been telling me that I did the right thing since the puppy looks like it’ll make a full recovery, but I still feel like I should’ve done something else or avoided hurting the other dog at all.
AITA?

I will give you an overview (its a pretty long read I'm sorry) of my dating life and then I will ask you guys 3 questions at the end. Please if you have criticism, tell me and don't spare my feelings. If you have more questions about me that I may have forgotten to put here, please ask them and I will try to answer them.
I was born in the Philippines but I was raised here in Canada. My first girlfriend was when I was in Vancouver Island. I was in middle school back then and she was my best friend. I was always an introvert and I always prefer to be alone or have at least one or two friends. I don't have a social anxiety or something like that. I just prefer to be friends with as few people as possible and I was happy the way I was. As the only asian person in the school I was sometimes picked on and most of the time ignored. But she was there for me despite what other people thought about me. We are each others first kiss and I thought at the time that she was the love of my life. My parents decided that we move to Edmonton, Alberta to have more job opportunities. So my girlfriend and I broke it off and we cried when we said goodbye to each other.
When I arrived in Edmonton, I was in junior high school. I had crushes here and there and many girls had crushes on me but I was never in a serious relationship. Fast forward in my high school days, I met my 2nd girlfriend. I am still an introvert. She had a crush on me and I had a crush on her so we hit it off. We were great together, we made each other laugh, we supported each other through tough times with school and with our families and I lost my virginity to her. This is when I find out that I have a pretty high sex drive. Almost everyday after school we would have sex in any secluded places like in my bedroom or in her bedroom and it was amazing. Fast forward towards the end of our relationship, I find out from her friend that she was cheating on me. So I talked to her if it was true and she admitted it. I tried my best to stay calm and as she was about to explain herself, I couldn't bottle up my emotions anymore and I stood up and left her there. I was holding myself back until I found a tree to hide behind and I started crying. I stayed behind that tree for 2 hours. (We were together for 1.5 years)
That relationship really broke me. My confidence was shattered. I felt like I didn't deserve love. Until one day when I looked myself in the mirror I thought to myself that maybe the reason why she cheated on me was because I didn't look attractive enough. I was very skinny during that time. So from then on, I started working out and started training in boxing and wrestling almost religiously.
Fast forward to around 2021 and I am now pretty muscular and I know how to defend myself boosting my confidence up greatly. I'm 5'11 and 170 lbs guy. I also saved enough money from my job so I can start investing in stocks. I earned enough money to invest so I quit my job (I was about to get fired anyway because of COVID-19) and I became a fulltime trader and I am now self-employed (I still am today). This is the time when i met my last girlfriend. I was still an introvert and she was also somewhat an introvert. I really thought we were perfect together. She became my best friend. We supported each other during the lockdown. We started long driving to go to hiking in Banff and Vancouver multiple times. She and I adopted a golden retriever puppy. Our sex was amazing we learned a lot of things about how to pleasure each other and I always made sure that she orgasm at least two times before I finish. We communicated perfectly about our problems. All in all it was a very healthy and loving relationship.
Then about 4 months before our break up, she started to "distance" herself from me gradually. I started planning surprise dates and decorating our apartment with romantic stuff and other cheesy stuff so when she comes back from work she can still see how much I love and cherish her. When I want to initiate sex she sometimes refuses politely and when she did accept to have sex she seemed uninterested and just laid there and I did most of the work. So one day I finally confronted her about it and she told me that she is just busy from college and work. I said, I understand and I offered my hand to help her in her studies and she said no. So she took a deep breath and told me she wants to move to her friends house for a while. I was shocked but I didn't resist her. I said, I understand and agreed to give each other some space. I made sure to let her know that when she is ready to talk I am always here. So she packed her stuff, took the dog and moved to her friends.
3 weeks later of waiting for her to contact me, she texted me one sentence. She said, "I don't think this is going to work out, we should break it up here." She didn't explain herself, she could have at least broke up with me in person or at least call me.. (we were together for 2.5 years)
I texted her about an explanation. No answer. I texted her friend about her. No answer. I tried to message her through her social medias but she blocked me from all of them. I was frustrated, angry and heartbroken again. I wanted to go to her friend house to see if she is still there or go to her parents home. The only reason I didn't was because I didn't want to look like a creep or a stalker. I was frustrated. I didn't know where did I went wrong. I did not know if I hurt her. I was given no explanation on where I went wrong! I kept thinking maybe she is seeing someone else from school or work which just further breaks my heart because my last cheating gf traumatized me.
I need help. I'm at my lowest right now and because I don't have any friends to talk to, I'm just by myself. My family and I are not close. We don't hate each other but we just don't talk to one another. They always raised me as an independent man. I usually come out on top when dealing with my problems by myself but this is different. Even after improving my body, being financially independent and trying my best to make my girlfriend happy, I was still left alone and discarded. I'm hating life right now. Suicide does cross my mind more than I would like. And I'm considering it. I need some advice. All my life I've dreamed of falling in love and starting a family. And right now, I don't know if I can start another relationship and ending in another heartbreak because I am certain if that happens again I don't know if I have the strength to keep living.
I don't drink or smoke or go to the club or parties. Her friend circle sometimes do that and she did partied with them two times. Maybe she left me because I'm too boring? I've asked in other social media and they told me maybe I should start drinking and start going to clubs. They told me that my gf probably felt like she didn't have any competition because I don't talk to other women. They also told me to try to stop being an introvert.
1) How do I get my confidence back up after this? Did you experience getting cheated on or being ghosted? How did you deal with it?
2) I know that there are good women out there. So how do I filter good ones from the bad ones? Is there a way to know if she is a good woman without getting in a relationship and risk getting heartbroken again?
3) Should I follow the other people's advices and start drinking and clubbing and also to stop being introverted?
I know you may think I'm naive about love and I'm starting to realize it now too. But I just want to listen to other people's advice because it does help me with the pain even if its just a little bit.

In old story highlights, she has a photo of the young puppy with uncut ears. Fast forward a few months and the ears are docked. At least they left the tail intact.
I had to unfollow her after realizing this; docking a puppy’s ears for the “aesthetic” severely gives me the ick. (As opposed to adopting a rescue dog after the fact.)

I need someone with 3+ dogs and at least 2 kids to convince me not to get a puppy lol. We used to have two huskies and a German shepherd and our husky girl passed away a year ago. We have boy kids and boy dogs and I yearn for a girl dog again. We had a very strong bond and I miss her so much. I’m the only girl in the house.😂 Somebody local to me has my dream dog for adoption a little long hair black German shepherd female. I’ve told my husband since our husky passed away that’s what I want eventually. She is the exact image of what I’ve been picturing like it’s crazy. if you do have 3 pets and kids how’s it going?? My family thinks I’m crazy for thinking about it

Hi guys, I recently adopted a puppy from a shelter. He is approximately 10 months old and he is with me for a week. The thing is, he is absolutely terrified of coming to me or letting me touch him. So, effectively I can't train him to put a leash on and we can't take him outside to do his business. Do you have any advice on how to help me not to be scared of me?

My family and I have a 13 year old dog, who has been with us since she was 2 years old. We literally picked her up from the street lol. She's been the only reciever of our love and attention ever since.
However, last week we adopted a 10 month old puppy from a neighbor who wanted to throw her back to the streets. Since she's new, we have been paying a lot of attention to her so she learns this is a loving home and so we can show her how to behave.
This has left our 13 year old feeling left out and displaced. I try to give her lots of love still but she doesn't run up to us anymore :(. So would she notice if I give her the extra yummy treats but don't give them to the new puppy? Do you think that would make her feel better? Thank you for any advice
