Yep, they were more frightened than normal coming out of the shelter today. Don’t know why, but I am sure it has to do with the warm and fuzzy place they called home before. If it can be called that. It would break people’s hearts to see some of these dogs when exiting the shelters, not that the shelters are bad themselves, just so over whelming to the dogs. All the strange sights, sounds and smells. It’s just terrifying to some. On top of that, if they came from an abusive or neglectful background, that just compounds the problems. Sometimes it can take weeks at a foster’s home to get them somewhat acclimated to people again. And sometimes they can’t undo the damage done to them. But the fosters and rescues continue to try, one dog at a time.

He doesn’t have a name but I bet he will soon. This little fella has a case of the mange that he has to get over before he does anything else. I am sure the rescue will have that taken care of fairly quickly and we all know how fast puppies get adopted. If it weren’t for that, I know his feet would hardly touch the ground before he would be gone. But he must get that cleared up first, get fixed then I am sure he will be ready to go. Wish all were as lucky.
