Since the better half works in special education, we're going to get the dog certified as a service animal so that we may take her to schools to work with kids. ## About [](/img/zoey+adger.jpg) **Mom - Zoey** Moore Retrievers - https://www.mooreretrievers.com/about https://www.facebook.com/mooreretriever/ Carolynn Moore - 4008 Poors Ford Rd Rutherfordton, NC 28139 315-276-5773 OFA - https://ofa.org/advanced-search/?f=sr&appnum=2313924 MOORERETRIEVER'S ZOEY - A.K.C # - SS17601202 F GOLDEN GOLDEN RETRIEVER - Born Feb 14 2020 Sire: SR99157504 - Granddad - Blue Aubreys Golden Dam: SR86644701 - Grandmom - Justin N Jerry's Lizzy **Dad - Adger** Carolina Goldens - https://loyalgoldenretrievers.com/about-us/ Danielle & Randy Scruggs - 4369 Chesnee Rd, Rutherfordton, NC 28139 (828)863-4542 [Adger FB photos](https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid0iyVemBhVxjkJTABe7vF4vZ5Sn8fBocRY1GGo88Zi4KNoQCKqSUe4G4GNJrK3f5aCl&id=100057085434268&__cft__[0]=AZXTmF9OVu2FI6SmtwryKOOM8qcdeo2AOsoYdH-rt-2yGBtVjo2Vji8CNzJzaXYMj_gUFhFHsF8QrUzq46ImT31HlrNB7sL7v-j9HBghHZHEi1LMKABW5XgcRVwzH8CHXL4jSPN1UgvtKdHJsbzPzadYtnHnD7USAuV0-z95DckS_nw_OeSR-8jdAJ8vjPvpAofzMoDc1xxi8ySVGwAHBuGf&__tn__=%2CO%2CP-R) https://www.facebook.com/carolina.goldens.1/ https://www.facebook.com/people/Carolina-Goldens/100057085434268/ Videos of parents - https://www.youtube.com/@randys6799 Adger - ( Moore Retrievers’ Zoey ) https://4x521b.p3cdn1.secureserver.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Adger-1.jpg ### Names: Name: **Iris** ( **Iris of Zoey & Adger** ) / of Zeken Woozer meaning: As a goddess, Iris is associated with communication, messages, the rainbow, and new endeavors. The personification of a rainbow linking the heavens and earth. The rainbow's arc spanned the distance between cloud and sea and so the goddess was believed to replenish the rain-clouds with water from the sea. She was also believed to aid in the fulfillment of humans' prayers, either by fulfilling them herself or by bringing them to the attention of other deities. She often carried water from the river Styx which separated earth from the underworld. Iris was often described acting as an intermediary between Hera queen of the gods and Hypnos the god of sleep. ( Ovid, Metamorphoses / Virgil, Aeneid / Homer, Iliad ) **Daffodil** - Her Sister ( from another litter ) The surname **Adger** is likely of English or Scottish origin. It is possible that the name Adger is derived from the Old English personal name Eadgar, which means "rich spear.” The name **Zoey** is of Greek origin and means "life". It is a feminine given name, often used as a shortened form of the name Zoe. **Nous** is the original Golden Retriever - Nous n. ‘good sense’, thought reason, perception , ‘higher mind’, ‘minds eye’. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nous ### Breed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Retriever ## Service Research: Exploring the Impact of Animal-Assisted Therapy on Children’s Literacy Skills in Speech-Language Interventions - https://digitalcommons.georgiasouthern.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1674&context=honors-theses Effects of Animal-Assisted Therapy on a Student with an Emotional/Behavioral Disorder - https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1139331.pdf Animal-Assisted Counseling for Young Children: Evidence Base, Best Practices, and Future Prospects - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9281203/ Exploring Animal-Assisted Programs with Children in School and Therapeutic Contexts - Animal-Assisted Therapy and its Effects on Children in Schools - https://sophia.stkate.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1381 Exploring Perceived Benefits of and Barriers to the Use of Pet Therapy Dogs in a Private School for Children with Special Needs - https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/234123895.pdf Benefifits of Animal Assisted Therapy With Children in Special Education - https://spark.bethel.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1170 ### Video Testimony: Portland High School - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX2fAgN1iJE Artie - Narona County School District - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGO5DIB4t8E Wyoming Department of Education - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPHr2v8ycsw ## Organizations: PAALS - Palmetto Animal Assisted Life Services - https://www.paals.org/about Disability Rights SC - Service Animvals - https://www.disabilityrightssc.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/AssistanceAnimalsFactSheet_accessible.pdf Assistance Dogs International - https://assistancedogsinternational.org Melissa Yetter - Service Dog Institute - https://theservicedoginstitute.org https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissa-yetter-394a0a14 South Carolina Dogs Therapy Group - http://www.scdogs.org ## Training: Dr. John Pilley - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_W._Pilley - PBS NOVA - Chaser the Dog Shows Off Her Smarts to Neil deGrasse Tyson - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omaHv5sxiFI - John Pilley - Chaser the Border Collie - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5MBD0rUTck - BBC Earth - Dog Understands 1022 Words! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ip_uVTWfXyI Keen Dog Training Rock Hill SC - https://www.keendogtraining.com/team Keen Dog Training puppy training series - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj3kVFx_AMQ&list=PLIGhKrIr7WkNI2ki0316Rqss5tZVnFHiu Keen Dog - What to focus on Month 2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9__L9N1V2jE&list=PLIGhKrIr7WkNI2ki0316Rqss5tZVnFHiu ### Equipment Halo Collar Training - https://vimeo.com/halocollar Apple Air Tag and waterproof collar holder Amazon List - https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3A5F0O9KTR7H2/ - Slip Lead, Long training, collar, training collar, Halti Training Lead - Crate - Elitefield soft - 36" L x 24" W x 28" H, Pen 16 Panel 32" H, Anber Roll up Mat, Elevated bed - COA Whizzclick, Fluent Pet, training pouch, target stick - Toys - Kong(classic, ball, disc, teeth cleaning), Ruffware(Ring, floater), Redline K9(Sheep Skin Tug) Flirt pole, ### Insurance State Farm Pet Insurance - https://www.statefarm.com/insurance/pet ### Food **Poisonous** Foods: xylitol (all artificial sweeteners), salt, yeast(dough) chocolate, macadamia, corn, popcorn, avocado, mushrooms, onions, garlic, leeks, coffee, caffeine, citrus, coconut oil, grapes, raisins, milk/diary, almond, pistachio, alchohol, peaches, plums, apple seeds, apricot pits, cherry pits, Chives, hops, mustard, broccoli, high fat meats, nutmeg, cinnamon, spicy food, green tomatoes, raw potatoes, large amount of liver, pickles. **Safe**: Peanut, Cashew butter, honey, carrots, cucumber, celery, watermellon, cantaloupe, mango, pears, blueberries, apples, oranges, banana, cooked chicken, shrimp, fish, turkey, beef, grains, green beans, white rice, spinach, cooked eggs, plain yogurt, small amount of cheese, peas, pumpkin, asparagus, cauliflower, lettuce, oatmeal, pasta - Purina Pro Puppy - Blue Buffalo Life - Blue Bits, Natural Bully Sticks - Peanut butter ( no sugar ) --- ### Training Key 🗝️ #### Words / Signs Name Come 🫴🏼 Here 🫴🏼 Stay 🤚🏼 Wait 🤚🏼 Sit 👆🏼 Lie 👇🏼 Down 👇🏼 Go 👉🏼 Load 👈🏼 Up Get Fetch #### Buttons Fitzgerald Key for Augmented and alternative communication - https://www.communicationcommunity.com/fitzgerald-key-for-aac/ --- ### Log 23.01.10 - date w/ Adger 23.03.15 - 65 day due date 23.05.01 - 6 week litter pick 23.06.01 - 8 Week pickup date 23.07.01 - 12 week pickup date 4-6 Months - Toothing: No Tug
