For Rescue Groups
We can transform your foster dog’s behavior using caring and effective training plans
Did your rescue group pull a dog from a shelter and the dog is now showing behavior issues?
Is a foster cat or dog showing aggression towards the foster’s resident pet?
Do you need help getting your foster adoptable?
Excellent behavior and training! They work with our dogs at the bulverde area humane society to help them find their forever homes. — Penny
Many rescued animals come from traumatic situations and have some sort of underlying emotional issue. Strange new people, noise and smells can all contribute to fear and anxiety in cats and dogs. These animals have no clue what has happened to the people they once knew or, perhaps, the only home they knew. They are confused when they come off the street into a new environment. It’s no wonder why they are on high alert and in stress-mode.
Rescuing animals is hard work. And we value the commitment it takes to rescue and rehome the owner surrenders, shelter pulls and street rescues. That is why we want to help get rescued pets into furever homes.
Your rescue just pulled a dog from the shelter. Your foster volunteer is overwhelmed with some concerning behaviors. LOMA Behavior Professionals treat many complex behavior issues that occur with shelter dogs and street saves. Your foster dog needs impulse control, crate training and leash skills. We can train her. Your foster dog needs placement. LOMA can transform your foster dog into an adoptable-ready pet using caring, practical solutions.
Dr. Martinez has been working with my [Alamo City Pit Bull Rescue] foster. He was afraid of people, other dogs and anything he was unfamiliar with. He is now plays with the other puppy in our home and he has stopped being so afraid of everything… She doesn't just work with the dog. She helps you to understand why the dog may be acting the way he does and gives you the tools to use so that you can continue to train your dog. — Linda S.

Rescue Outreach Services
We provide many services to the local non-profit animal shelter and rescue community at discounted costs. To be eligible for these services, a rescue group or shelter representative is responsible for payment on behalf of a foster volunteer or new adopter.
Step 1: Rescue Assessment, $100*
We start with a 15 minute phone conversation with the foster or rescue to clarify what needs to be evaluated. Then we complete a Rescue Assessment, a 60-minute visit at the shelter facility or in the foster or adopter’s home. During the in home assessment, we examine the foster dog's behavior, and develop an initial safety and prevention plan. We will address fearful or aggressive behavior first, before focusing on obedience behaviors and give the rescue group/shelter an estimated time frame and report to modify the concerning behavior.
*travel fees apply if outside our service area
Step 2: Rescue training sessions, $75
When training beyond the initial assessment is needed, this can be provided at a shelter facility or in the volunteer or adopters home.
*travel fees apply if outside our service area
