Mac and Cheese need a loving home 🏡🐶🐶💕
When a pet is placed up for adoption, many times we have very limited information on their history. Where were they before they came to us? What happened to them that may cause them anxiety? Some hate thunderstorms. Some hate being confined to a kennel. Some are absolutely petrified of human touch and love. We work with them day in and day out to teach them essential home skills, to learn more about who they are, what they love, what they dislike.
What we do know about Macaroni and Cheese is that they’ve been through a significant amount of trauma, and that’s just from the short amount of time we’ve known them. Who knows what they went through before they were abandoned. Did they know what it felt like to be loved? Did they know the comfort of shelter, warmth, full bellies?
Dogs and cats, like people, can experience emotional trauma from their experiences. While Macaroni is happy wherever he goes, Cheese is bearing the brunt of the trauma they’ve experienced. She has a significant fear of abandonment. Not only dumped then run over, but passing through many hands throughout her treatment period – from the shelter, to a foster home, back to the shelter, and so on. When she’s given a chance at forever, it’s just too much for people.
Macaroni and Cheese are back with us. While we’re disheartened that their previous home didn’t work out, we are committed to ensuring that every single animal we place in a home is a good fit, not only for the animal, but also for the individuals involved. We know the right fit is out there. So we’re looking to find a family that will give these two plenty of patience and understanding as they adjust to their new normal. Their whole lives have been turned upside down in the past year, and it’s essential that their new family extend the grace necessary for them to emotionally heal and realize that they will never be abandoned again.
We know, if given the chance, these two will provide endless love and companionship. They’re just asking for that in return – and not just temporarily... forever. Macaroni and Cheese are available for adoption again and if you would like to come meet them, please stop by the Adoption Center today between 12pm-6:30pm.
