Every rescue journey is individual.
Susie (2yo bull arab) and Rusty (1 yo kelpie) both came into foster care during the week. Both were anxious to begin with due to the sudden change to their lives, and neither much liked foster Dad initially.
Gorgeous Susie adjusted quickly and is loving having lots of other dogs in the host and foster pack to socialize with, and foster mum and dad for pats and cuddles.
Handsome Rusty came in the next day, and wanted his space. The host pack has plenty of experience at this and gave it to him. He can watch from a safe place and decide when he is ready to mingle.
But Susie is working on him, gently playbowing to him periodically. And he's starting to respond, following her a few metres as she walks away.
He will get there, at his own pace.
Neither is ready for adoption yet. Susie will go up soon for adoption interest, but not go out until after her vet work is completed early new year.
And Rusty will be available when he's ready.
