This little lady was and still is depressed after being dumped at the shelter by her former owners. She just doesn’t understand what she has done wrong. She is well-mannered and listens to everything you say. She is very alert, but as you can see in her eyes, she is depressed. I transported her directly from the shelter to get fixed and she was to be picked back up later in the day by another volunteer. Since she is now fixed, maybe she will go out on the Phoenix run on Thursday. We will see. The sooner she is out of the shelter, the sooner I am sure she will come around to her old self. Lots of TLC will go a long way with this girl.

This is what happens when you don’t take care of the problem when it first starts. If you ignore it and just hope for the best, the dog will suffer just like this poor little guy. His former owners couldn’t deal with it, so they dumped him at the pound. Original thoughts seems to run in their family.

Laurie, an independent rescuer, volunteered to take this little one and get him better and find a home for him. I know he is not much to look at now, but wait till the medications kick in and a whole lot of love is applied. It will get better from here on out, in more ways than one.
