What happens when a wolf dog hybrid, a pit bull and even a parrot live under the same roof? In my experience, adopting and rehabilitating pets that demand special care can sometimes seem overwhelming. But patience, training, proper diet and the right supplements can go a long way. It is all worth it when you see your misfits turning life around and your whole furmily heading in the right direction together.
Adopting a less adoptable pet
Thankfully, over the years the concept of bringing home an animal in need has been more and more accepted by families everywhere. But there are still dogs and cats that spend years in a shelter before they find their forever home. People’s biased decisions can be based on a furkiddo’s color, age or breed. That’s why mutts, misunderstood breeds, senior pets and animals with special needs are among the least adopted furkiddos. And that is heartbreaking!
All of my pets come from a tough past or are misunderstood in some way, including the parrot!
So in honor of “Adopt a Less Adoptable Pet Week”, I’m here to speak on my own experience adopting the less fortunate and creating a furmily of “misfits”. All of my pets come from a tough past or are misunderstood in some way, including the parrot! Hopefully seeing how these special animals have given so much joy, will change some minds about pet adoption.
Brando the wolf dog hybrid
Brando is the newest furmily member. This big furry guy is a Malamute Wolf cross and despite any possible bias over his “wilder side”, he’s one of the easiest dogs I’ve ever had! Considering his wolf genes, I thought I was adopting a nightmare in the making but he turned out to be very friendly, trainable and such a good boy inside and out.
Brando was rescued from a reservation where he was found with a severe case of mange, emaciated beyond belief, open wounds with maggots and could not walk. As a pet nutritionist, I know that a nutritionally complete diet is key for regaining and maintaining a healthy pet. Seeing the changes in this guy’s demeanor after only a few weeks of a balanced diet, extra love and care has been really rewarding.
Introducing my wolf dog hybrid to the rest of the pack
Over all the years, I’ve found the use of NHV Lesstress and NHV Matricalm to be wonderful for the entire pack when introducing a new furmily member. Not only for the new pet coming in to get used to their new life but also for my current kiddos to welcome the new member stress-free.
Reward-based training, positive reinforcement and redirection have also proved key in helping shelter pets acclimate to their new surroundings.
Reward-based training, positive reinforcement and redirection have also proved key in helping shelter pets acclimate to their new surroundings. These are some of the things that have worked in helping Brando start life in his new forever home off on the right paw.
I do get a lot of questions/comments while out with the big doggos. Some are great, some are scathing really. The challenge here is to be as kind and informative as possible. Education has been my best friend in these cases!
I respect that others may be afraid, give them space and respond with a big smile. Showing that you have control of the animal and being friendly and approachable goes a long way. Perhaps the next time, they may have more questions and a different outlook than the last time.
Misunderstood breeds and handling aggression
My furmily of “less adoptable pets”, or as I prefer “misfits”, also includes breeds that have a lot of stigma around them. Some of my adopted dogs have also come from challenging pasts which may lead to aggression if not correctly handled.
Marley was a rescued Pit Bull that came into my life with the help of our President and CEO of NHV! She was badly abused and neglected. I soon discovered she had an aversion to men, inebriated people, as well as brooms. With patience, consistency and a muzzle, she became one of the sweetest dogs and a breed ambassador for Pit Bulls all over the West End of Vancouver.
Tatanka is a rescued American Staffordshire Terrier. He came from what was a suspected fighting ring. Although he was only 8 weeks old when we brought him home, he has never forgotten where he came from. He has a lot of fear-aggression with strangers. He is a wonderful boy with children, and pets of all kinds and can be very well-behaved indoors. We use a muzzle and consistent training with him outside to keep everyone safe.
Adopting a senior pet
The decision to adopt an older furkiddo demands a lot of love. And knowing you will have a shorter time with them is never easy. But I revel in the fact I gave a senior shelter pup the best life possible in her last years.
Gypsy Rose was a Great Dane, so given her breed’s shorter life expectancy, we did not have many years together. But she was an absolute angel and I will never forget the time we did enjoy together.
Senior pets may often have a compromised immune system and overwhelmed organs. But natural supplements have been a game changer in helping my furmily get back to and maintain their health. For my senior pets, NHV Old Timer and NHV Turmeric work great together to help address joint and muscle pain.
NHV Tripsy and NHV Hearty-Heart are also favorite supplements of mine. They aid kidney and bladder function, and promote a healthy heart. I simply add these supplements to their meal. For older pups I also tend to feed a higher fiber and lower fat diet.
Why I continue to adopt misfits
I’m an advocate for rescue and rehabilitation. It can start out on shaky grounds as you learn about one another. It might take some time to figure out what triggers your furkiddo has from their past. But once you discover a path that’s working for you all, it’s one of the most rewarding experiences you will have, I promise you!
Many of these pets are merely looking for a home without behavioral issues. The benefit is that they may already be housetrained, crate trained, socialized and the whole gamut! Adopting them might mean skipping some of the hard work that puppies demand, and many are not a fan of.
In all honesty, it’s not always easy and at times I’ve wondered “what have I got myself into?”. That being said, I have no regrets! My “misfits” are the best thing that’s ever happened to me and I’ll continue to pursue the less adoptable kiddos time and time again.

Hawthorne – the most powerful herb for the heart health of dogs. Hawthorn acts as a cardio tonic, which helps stabilize the heart’s activity based on what a dog’s heart needs; either to be stimulated or reduced. Hawthorn has traditionally been used for heart failure, heart palpitations, heart weakness, and for the circulatory system. This herb works by dilating the vessels and the coronary arteries, which improves the metabolic process and the blood supply to the heart and the rest of the body. Hawthorn may help with dog heart conditions by regulating your dog’s heart rate, coronary flow, and blood pressure. It also has a soothing and sedative effect that helps reduce stress.

Valerian – Beneficial for heart palpitations and regulates the nervous system. It is a gentle sedative that works on the nervous system by helping to calm a dog without making a pet drowsy. Valerian has been used by herbalist to help with anxiety and insomnia.
Woody Betony – This herb is one of the most valued in herbal medicine and has been used for decades for various ailments. It acts as a mild stimulant to the heart. Woody Betony is a nerve tonic that nourishes and builds vital energy. It contains glycosides, which may help reduce blood pressure in canines.
Lobelia – Causes immediate relaxation and expansion of the respiratory system that allows oxygenated blood to flow freely. It eases coughs brought on by heart issues.
European Mistletoe – This plant is considered to be a sacred plant and was called “all-heal" by the Celtic people. The parts used are the leaves and stems. Mistletoe has a long history in herbalism. It is used as a heart supplement for dogs to regulate blood pressure and to lower the heart rate. It also helps with anxiety, restlessness, and energy. Studies show that the herb Mistletoe has been used for various cancers as well.
Motherwort – Has a strengthening effect, especially on a weak heart. It is considered to be a mild sedative with relaxing properties. Motherwort has been used in herbal preparations to help ease heart palpations and rapid heart rates. It is a cardiotonic, which has traditionally been used to improve blood flow and to support heart health.
