Welcome to the home crew, Tara!
This girlie has had a rough start. She spent the first 6ish months of her life having never left a horse stall after it was discovered she was born missing a tooth and wasn’t “show” material.
Seriously. Never. “Poorly socialized” is an understatement… She was afraid of every person, noise, movement - even rain was a new and scary thing to her.
Fortunately she has landed with a wonderful family that is committed to catching her up on what she’s missed. We started in-home lessons a couple months ago (because she was terrified to get close enough to a car to get in one) and she has made such huge progress already. Two weeks ago, she loaded up into the truck and had her first vet visit since she landed for vaccinations and a nail trim and did amazing.
Her people are away for a little vaca so she’s staying with me (Rebecca) for the week. She’s been riding around in the car for errands and to get to and from training for two days, has settled at my house almost effortlessly and, although she was over my attempts at getting a picture after our post dinner walk - photo 1 - as you can see she’s eager to take treats from me after entertaining my shenanigans - photo 2. Up to today, she’s only ever trusted me enough to take food from the ground that I tossed toward her.
Very proud of this wants-to-be-brave girl. She is incredibly sweet and she and her family deserve all the best things that a dog-inclusive life offers ♥️
