Meet Gibbs. He was
one of the dogs rescued with Beasley in the 100 plus dog hoarding raid
“Operation Freedom”.
A couple that lived in a condo adopted him. They are moving now and don’t want to take
him so they are turning him back over to Agape. Apparently they weren’t the best people
to handle a dog with so many emotional scars. While Beasley has been slowly
making progress, this dog has regressed.
They called me to ask if I would foster him. I told them I couldn’t but I did think about
it all weekend. It’s so hard for me to
turn away a dog in need. But I’m still
working with Beasley to try and turn her into a secure carefree pooch. And with
Mac’s arthritis, I just don’t think it would be fair to all the other “kritters”.
I’m flattered that they called me first and would trust me with
another “special needs” dog but it’s a lot of work and I’m still potty training
Beasley. She is doing really well in all ways (except noise… thunder,
fireworks, etc.). I suck at fostering
anyway so that would put me up to 14.
But I’m going to ask around. I hope they find someone who
will have the patience and understanding to take this scared pooch. They think a family with other dogs might help bring him out of his shell.
