- Maggie
Meet our August Pet of the Month, Maggie, proudly owned by Melody! 💛
🏊 Favorite Activity: Maggie’s favorite way to start the day is with morning walks alongside her human. When it’s time for some fun, she’s always ready to make a splash—she absolutely loves swimming!
🎾 Favorite Toy: Her toy collection is full of stuffed animals because Maggie loves any stuffed toy she can get her paws on.
🍖 Favorite Treat: When it comes to treats, her top pick is Kindfull Chicken Jerky.
🛏️ Favorite Place to Sleep: At the end of the day, you’ll find Maggie’s favorite sleeping spot snuggled up in bed with her human and her sister, Hanna.
🏅 Special Talents: One of Maggie’s most impressive talents is her wonderful recall, making her a joy to have on adventures. And if you ever see her “smile,” don’t be alarmed—one of her funniest quirks is showing her teeth with a big grin, which always makes everyone laugh!
Congratulations to our sweet August Pet of the Month, Maggie! ❤️🐶

Have you ever heard of DINOS?
🐶 DINOS™ = Dogs In Need of Space
Some dogs need a little extra room — and that’s completely normal. DINOS reminds us that all dogs have a right to their personal space, and some may need more of it than others.
Dogs might be DINOS because of medical recovery, age‑related issues, training, working roles, or behavioral needs like fear, anxiety, or reactivity.
DINOS dogs are GOOD dogs — they just need space.
And remember: Service Dogs are DINOS too.
🐕🦺 Service dogs are highly trained working partners who help their handlers navigate daily life safely. They may be guiding, alerting, supporting mobility, or performing medical tasks — and they need space to stay focused and do their jobs.
Please never assume it’s okay to approach an unfamiliar dog, especially a service dog. Always ask first, and respect an owner’s right to say “no, thank you.” It’s not personal — it’s about keeping pets and people safe.
💛 At one time or another, every dog will need space. Let’s help make Montrose a kinder, safer place for all pups — working dogs included. ... See MoreSee Less

Me too, brother, me too.
