What is the plan for the Michael Vick dogs?
We are extremely pleased with the progress of the 22 Michael Vick dogs who were brought to Best Friends in January 2008. Trainers and caregivers are working with individualized training plans for each of the dogs, with the goal of addressing any behavior issues and improving their quality of life. The dogs have developed good social skills and many enjoy the company of humans as well as other dogs. For many, the ultimate goal is to move into loving homes. Of the Michael Vick dogs who did not come to Best Friends, five are now working as therapy dogs helping people in need, and nearly all of the others have become part of someone’s family.
