Pradas Story
We are extremely proud to share one of our huge success stories we have been working on for some time. This is Prada. Prada had a long long journey with us that began in July 2023. Our Director received a call about a dog that had dropped from the extreme July heat. She rushed to the scene and decided it was best to bring Prada to our care. She had heat exhaustion, Her pads were burned from hot pavement, she was underweight, had severe skin issues, an ear and eye infection, but mostly she was very very scared of human contact.
It took our Kennel Techs days to be able to handle her. But with time, patience and lots of treats, slowly Prada began to trust them. Prada was brought into our ISO area because she was unable to cope with the loud sounds and traffic.
It is important to stress, our staff can see through anxious behavior that is induced by stress and fear. Often these animals come to us sick and malnourished with unkind pasts always through no fault of their own. It can take days, weeks months to gain an animals trust again after trauma, and here at the GDCAS, we believe every animal deserves a second chance at life. We believe every animal is worthy of every fighting chance we can give them. Prada was well deserving of this chance.
The amazing Kennel techs and staff spent days, weeks, months brining Prada to her truest self. However, her circumstances would require care we could no longer maintain at the shelter. And as much as we loved Prada and this had become her home in so many ways, Prada needed a home. A real home. But she continued to suffer from fear of Humans. So we knew her best chance was with the most experienced Bully breed rescue we knew in Indiana. This is when Our Adoption coordinator reached out to Luccis House Of Bullys Rescue. And very shortly after, they commited to pull Prada!!! this was the best case scenario for our girl. Here she will have experienced handlers who specilize in girls like Prada. But her journey did not begin there ev
Today we say good morning to you with heavy hearts. Every single kennel we have is full and some of them are doubled up. 🙁 Out of our staff, only two employees are responsible for caring for all these animals on normal business days. To clean and administer medicine for all these cats and dogs, it can take them 3-4 hours when working as a team let alone by themselves.
We are asking again to please consider adoption or fostering! Our Home for the Holidays fostering program has finally launched, and we are crossing our fingers that lots of our animals can be in a loving home this year instead of a kennel. We worked extremely hard to get this fostering program off the ground and we want it to be successful. Please stop by and see us! You never know who you may take home 🩷
