THE DOG BUDDY PROGRAM WAS A PILOT PROGRAM AIMED AT ENCHANING THE LIVES AND SOCIALIZING THE SHELTER DOGS DOG SOCIALIZATION IS A MUCH NEEDED PROCESS OF EXPOSING DOGS TO NEW PLACES, PEOPLE, SITUATIONS, EXPERIENCES, AND THINGS THAT HELP THEM UNDERSTAND MORE ABOUT THE EXTERNAL WORLD AND MAKE THEM MORE ADOPTABLE. BY FAMILIARISING THEM, WE HELPED THEM DEVELOP POSITIVE BEHAVIORS AND ALSO GIVE THEM THE CONFIDENCE TO DEAL WITH ANYTHING THAT COMES THEIR WAY. JUST LIKE HUMANS, DOGS TOO NEED A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT TO LEAD A MENTALLY HEALTHY LIFE. DOGS NEED EXPOSURE TO OTHER PEOPLE AND PETS TO KEEP THEM MENTALLY STIMULATED. SOCIALIZATION HELPS GET RID OF THE MENTAL ISSUES LIKE DEPRESSION WHICH OCCURS WHEN DOGS ARE INCARCERATED AND SUBJET TO THE MONOTONY OF A SHELTER LIFE. BY EXPLORING NEW PLACES AND SPENDING TIME WITH DIFFERENT PEOPLE, THE PSYCHOLOGICAL NEEDS OF THE DOG ARE FULFILLED AND IT KEEPS HIS OVERALL LIFE ENRICHED. BUDDY PROGRAM WAS SUCCESSFUL IN CREATING MORE ADOPTABLE PETS AND INCREASE THE ADOPTION RATE
