How to Integrate Dogs into Families with Babies and Children


Listen Later

Jennifer Shryock wants dogs to happily coexist in families with children and babies. She is so passionate about this that she founded Family Paws, an organization that offers resources to dog-loving families. In this informative episode, she talks to Emily and Libby about:

  • managing expectations about integration and transition
  • differences between prepping for a dog or puppy
  • practical tips and tricks too practice with foster dogs
  • why dogs kissing babies actually might be your dog’s call for help
  • Jennifer has an immense amount of compassion not just for dogs but for the families willing to bring them into the folds of their lives. This is a truly uplifting conversation and not to be missed if you have a family, have a dog and are family planning, or want to bring a foster into your family. 

    If you have children or want to learn more about how to educate potential adopters with children, learn more about Family Paws here.
