My latest foster dog went to her new home this morning. I am a cocker spaniel mom, and I have been involved in rescue off and on for 20 years now. I picked up this latest baby on July 3 to save her from being put in the night drop box at the shelter on 4th of July. She is a beautiful 7 yr old cocker, chocolate and tan, who had spent 5 years living in the garage. She was not allowed in the house. Then they sold the house and the dog had to go. She craves people attention and was terrified of other dogs.
In 54 days she learned that many people will be kind to her, Including pet her, that not all dogs are scary, some even obey their people- and developed a willingness to try new things. She learned to go up and down steps, to drink out of a bowl (she had a thing to lick that water would come out of, like in a rodent cage) and to sleep on a bed at night.
And it was mutual Love at first sight when she met her new family! It’s a little quiet here tonight with only my 3...
