Organized Chaos: Feeding time at a dog rescue

Jan. 30 2010 ~ People often ask what it's like here at feeding time so I put together this short video to give them an idea. There are currently 16 dogs here but only 13 in the video; the others eat in separate areas due to food aggression...

is there any puppies at a rescue center because we are gunna get a puppy from a rescue center??

[LocalDogRescue]

@akeilamermaid62 YES!!! Check out local rescues in your city, there are always puppies available for adoption. If it turns out there aren't any available right now, keep checking because there probably will be soon. Unfortunately there is never an end to the numbers of puppies and dogs coming in and out of rescue. Thanks for making the smart move to adopt a rescue dog!!! =o)

What type of food do you feed?

It must take forever to feed them all!

[LocalDogRescue]

@k9Dedicated hi, I've gone through many different types of food, I try to stick to a higher-quality brand ('cause they're worth it) and have been feeding Acana for the past two years. They also get carrots, yogurt, salmon oil, vit E, a bit of garlic and other goodies tossed in every couple of days. Believe it or not feeding time only takes about 20 minutes! They eat twice a day at 8:30am and again at 5:30pm. Once you get a routine down, its not as crazy... lol

that's so cool! But how do you make sure they all get food? Like keep track of all of them, I mean. Don't some of the ones still waiting ever mooch over the ones who have food? However you do it, it's amazing. Great job!!

@Starshine1396 lol thanks for the comment! It's actually not as crazy as it looks, once you get to know the dogs and know who the "food thieves" are its easy to watch them over your shoulder. There are a couple very food aggressive dogs that eat in their own area but all these guys in the video are pretty easy going and well behaved.
