So many people are ignorant of the signs of fear in a dog. I meet a lot of dogs and I have met many, many more in my life, and I can safely say that real aggressive dogs - those who are aggressive with humans - are the EXTREME minority. In fact, you are lucky, if you have just once encountered one, they are so rare. Many would fiercely bark at the end of a leash, or behind their fences or closed doors, but only very, very few would bite, or worse, really attack a human, like one can see on some videos, the victims of dog attacks. Seriously attacking a human is crazy dog-behaviour, absolutely not normal, and those dogs are better put down. But 99,9999999% of dogs who bark and threaten are simply afraid, poor souls, who just need patience and love.

People usually don't realize that dogs only have their bark and their teeth to protect themselves. Growling, barking are signs of fear. Imagine being afraid and dying because of it ! I have a similar situation and ended up with a goofy , love bug like Milan ! Thank you for saving this dog ! Bless you, and keep it up, the dogs need you. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I mean as someone who adores all animals but has also been attacked by dogs i could literally never adopt a dog who is capable of showing aggression like that without just cause. I have a crippling fear of being mauled by a dog since it has happened to me when i was 4 years old, trauma happening SO young shapes the way your brain creates fear responses, im sure MANY other people have the same experiences, or other circumstances like they have young children in the home and risking those children’s wellbeing or lives is not an option. Every dog deserves a home, but if i went to a shelter and saw a snarling growling mess of a dog i would never consider taking them to MY home, because of my trauma i require a friendly and calm dog, although i do understand they are only showing aggression out of fear, dogs are also capable of attacking and killing out of fear, so the motivations for the dog’s angry face makes no difference to my safety. Maybe if there werent so many idiots who let their dogs off leash then there wouldnt be so many people who have been attacked by dogs and are now terrified of every loud bark they hear

I'm really happy to see how the popular youtube animal/dog/cat channels are pushing fostering and adoption, as well trap, neuter, return for feral/street cats. If people really love animals, and care about welfare, the above are where we must be looking! Not designer dogs and cats from breeders! (and "pure" breeds come with their own issues, as i'm sure a lot of us know.)

She reminds me of my Daisy. Daisy was so scared and skittish. But once she was used to me, she was the best dog. I lost her due to kidney failure 4 years ago. I only had her for a short time (2 years+) but I loved her.

Martha deserves a medal! Hats off,and thank you.

I can see she has recently had puppies and my guess is they were taken from her before she was ready to let them go. I rescued a pitmix in 2017 and I can't help but think this happened to her also. I overlooked the dog I finally chose because she was barking so much in the shelter. The next time I went, a local pitbull rescue volunteer was there who had worked with the dogs and she brought out that dog to me. What a difference in the meet and greet pen. I tunred 60 that year, she was my first dog ever, but I did my homework first. I adopted her and have never looked back. That was a lesson learned not to judge a dog by its kennel behavior. But the behavior later takes a special patient and aware person to see how the dog reacts to its new home. My Gracie shied away in fear from pots with metal spoons in them. Pots alone were fine. Spoons alone were fine but put the two together and she showed extreme fear. Same with opening cabinet doors or drawers, We had to do it slowly. If the ceiling fan is on in the kitchen she doesn't like that either. Most of her fears are in the kitchen. I had to move her food and water bowls 3 times beofre we found a spot she felt comfortable with. I'm pretty sure a woman abused her wherever she was before. On dark rainy winter nights she refused to let me take her outside to do her business. My husband or son had to do it. I think maybe this woman dumped her on a night like that. So far it's been like this every winter but she is getting better to trust me. She still has moments or times but overall has learned to trust me more. But I have a red and black plaid jacket and if I put that on, its game over. Then my husband or son have to take her out. Crazy, huh? A lot of people either don't have the patience, have no idea what they're getting in to or are completley ignorant of what it takes to rescue an abused dog. I watched a few episodes of Pitbulls and Parolees and this happened where the family brought the dog back the very next day. WHAT??? you can't judge a dog by one day especially when you're just brought them into a new envronment. They're terrified! They have no idea what might happen next. And the people who bring family and friends over the same day or next day is absolute recipe for disaster. The dog needs time to decompress from shelter life and their former life, a few weeks is best. They need time to rest and build trust with their new humans and process all the new smells. We kept her isolated in the house no guests and we kept it quiet. I took her out on the leash and stayed in the yard. She saw one of our neighbors from a distance with a fence between us as we chatted a bit and Gracie was shaking and trembling. for Gracie, she needed this "shutdown" time. We have no way of knowing what her histroy was before us. She was about 4 years old, housebroken, knew some commands and was a very polite dog. My guess is someon else in the house must have loved her and worked with her but the other person did not. going slow and lost of patience and love. Loads of patience. KUDOS to all who are brave and patient with these dogs who need us to go the extra mile for them.

God bless you....
