Pup in Crisis!!


Today was a good day.
We were able to save a pup from euthanasia.

It was a stressful and tiresome road to get here, but we made it and she is safe and sound, and on the mend. This little gal's story started a month ago when her owner gave her up to a rescue. No time, too much work, the typical reasons. She has a fear of strangers and an obsession for light-chasing. (Side note: Please don't use laser lights on your animals.) Trust is huge within the canine world, you must trust your dogs and they must trust you to protect them, to provide for them, to give them rules. Unfortunately the foster she was with didn't quite work out. She needs a person with patience and time to help her overcome her OCD and socialize her with humans to overcome fear and anxiety. Her road led her back to a vet's office after she allegedly snapped at her foster. To make a long story short, the vet deemed her a dangerous dog, unfit for human contact and she was scheduled for euthanasia. I knew this girl had more love to give, so I fought to have her saved, and by the grace of God, we won! Here is a pic of the little lady on her way to our place, her new home with her newly adoptive family.
