Agape Animal Rescue’s community canine coaching program was formed to combat increased owner surrenders and support intake prevention in Middle Tennessee while increasing the adoptability and quality of life of foster dogs awaiting adoption. This program includes accessible, easy to follow training programs both online and in person. But that is not all, we are able to impact people, pets and communities in a variety of ways:
Support for Foster Dogs and Families
We provide our foster families training so that they are able to work with dogs with varying needs and skill levels. The dogs learn basic training, potty training, loose leash walking, and receive any necessary behavioral training that contributes to their long-term successful adoptions. FOR FOSTER PARENTS
Support for Owners Struggling to Keep Pets
Whether a family has fallen on hard times or simply can’t afford modern-day expensive dog training, we are here to offer families an alternative to surrendering a pet for reasons that can be avoided with basic dog training support. FOR DOG OWNERS
Support for Adoptive Families
Providing post-adoption training and behavior support for dogs for Agape alum. FOR ADOPTIVE FAMILIES
Support for Rescues and Shelters
Through collaboration, we are able to share our resources and training materials with underfunded and understaffed rescue and shelters to aid them with increasing save rates all across the United States.
This training and attentiveness, in part, is what has consistently allowed Agape Animal Rescue & Training Center to maintain its 99% success rate (less than 1% return rate) among adoptive families. FOR RESCUES AND SHELTERS
