## Resource

Why is that dog taking medication? This week, Tara and Laura vent about the common occurrence of medicating dogs to meet adopters that is happening more and more. They stress the need for transparency to potential adopters if a dog is using behavioral medication while at the shelter or in a rescue so adopters understand the type of dog they may be adopting. It is also important to know the red flags when adopting that would mean a dog may not be a good fit in a home or lifestyle if medication is required in order to interact with anyone.
