I'm being fostered for Tassie's Hope Animal Rescue. I was abandoned out in the country about four years ago, during this time there was one nice lady who would come out and feed me and the other dogs in the area. She said that she was doing her best to get help for us, and she would catch some of the smaller dogs/puppies when she could. We lived in a horrible place, where people (everyone exept the one lady) would try to kill us. Some of the dogs I lived with were poisoned, some were shot, some were hit by cars and some got killed by wild animals. I had several litters of puppies during this time, but only one of those puppies (Isabelle) made it.
About 5 months ago (early November) I had another litter of puppies. Then a week after I had my puppies The nice lady showed up with another lady and a man. They had a net on a long pole and used that to scoop my puppies from under the shed, where I had them. Then they picked up a leash and tried to get me to come near them! I though yeah right, and stayed far out of their reach. But I didn't wander to far because they had my babies. They tried to catch me for a few hours and then I finally ran off into a field. So they left, little did I know that they had a plan set up to come back and catch me, Isabelle, and her pups in a few days. For the next two days the nice lady put food down inside a small pen they had set up on the property. Then on the third day, she closed the door on us!!! Soon after that a mini van pulled up and the other lady and the man was back!! They got me and Isabelle in crates and put us in their van, then they caught all of Isabelle's four week old puppies and drove off. When we got to their house, they put us in two pens right next to each other and they brought my puppies out to me (the lady(who is now my foster mom) had been bottle feeding my babies until they could get me). I was really happy to see my babies again. Over time I realized that this was a good place, she brought food out for us every day, made sure we always had clean water, and that our pens were clean. Most says she would bring us special treats too. Isabelle's puppies soon learned to trust her and other people, I also learned that this was a nice person who loved us. My puppies grew up not knowing how mean some people can be.  Isabelle still was not sure (after all, the only life she knew was out in the woods as a feral dog). Eventually our foster mom did win her trust too, and now we are all inside dogs in our foster home and we are ready to find our forever homes.
I thought I had found my forever home, but because of my past I need time to get to know and trust new people. The family that adopted me thought that they could get me to trust them right away even though my foster mom told them about my past and told them it might take a few months for me to completely trust them. I have been evaluated by a behavorist who thinks I would be an ideal family dog. I have very strong maternal instincts and LOVE puppies and little kids. I also have a wonderful temperment and have never shown any aggression. I love food, am housetrained, like to go on walks (and behave very well on a leash), and love to lay on pillows. I am about 6yrs old. If you know of anyone who is looking for a sweet little girl and is willing to let me take my time in trusting them completely, please contact my foster mom, or fill out an application on the Tassie's Hope website!!!! |  |  | |  |
