Hats off to all foster parents!!! ❤

You promised to give Poppy the best life. You kept that promise.

Thank you much! Rescued (2nd) reactive 120lbs Akita/wolf just over year ago, he was unsure with me, frightened not knowing if forever home, gave space and let him decide... Now tail doesn't stop waging, all in the bed, recently got him with female rottweiler, hooked collars together & he learned to be a dog having fun. Thank you, great to see!

Maybe nothing. We have to realize, most pets need something stablized to feel safe. The kennel can be both tramatizing, but also a safe space. So, when they are faced with something new and unfamiliar, they may be afraid, especially if they lack a strong pack leader.

You cry thinking about it, and you lived it. I spent 5 minutes and 37 seconds and I'm bawling like I was having to give up Poppy. You are so wonderful for what you do. I am so happy for Poppy and Rylee!! Love has found them and it couldn't be a more beautiful sight ❤️❤️❤️

Michele, foster caregiver, when I read that a pitbull is "terrified," I immediately think of the sheer terror experienced by child and adult victims of pitbull attacks. From Daily Mail on May 3, 2022, attack by a pack of pitbulls. Victim's sister interviewed: 'When she passed out they were eating her alive. The dogs dragged her. They scalped her. Her skull was showing. They tore her left eyelid off. 'They tore her right cheek off left a hole. They ate the skin off her inner thigh and ate the flesh off her arms and ripped them off. Doctors were forced to wait for a month for the infection from the deep bites to subside before they were able stitch up the gashes on her forehead and scalp. Her sister continued: 'She said doctors had to put 109 staples in the front of her head and at least 90 staples in the back of her head.' A trachea tube was placed in her throat because the bacteria from the dogs mouth got into her esophagus which her sister said is now permanent. She also lost her vocal chords and now is forced to speak using a voice-generated box."

Peed and puked in the car. 9 months later, he will now cross the streets without treats. Still working on riding in the car, but the last ride had no pee or puke (yay!).

I had a dog who would get sick in the car too. One day my sister had to ride in the backseat (no dog) and SHE got carsick. It was a dodge neon, a car very low to the ground, a lot of wheel noise in the backseat. Shortly thereafter I bought an SUV with more room in back for my dogs to ride in (I had 2 large dogs), and my dog never got sick again. Just saying it may also be the type of vehicle in addition to the dog’s fear. Good luck with your pup, I have lived with 3 very fearful dogs, some get over it sooner than others. The one I have now runs if I drop ANYTHING, including a sheet of paper. He’s running for the hills! Unfortunately, I am a big clutz and I drop things often. I’ve had him a little over two years now and he is finally getting used to me dropping things! He still runs but comes back from a shorter distance away! And he is definitely still afraid of new situations. BTW - he’s 120 pounds of Mastiff Rottweiler mix. 😆. Love him to pieces, makes me laugh everyday.
