When we first rescued Sissy she was scared to death-tried to hide in her bed.
It took a few days before she began to even accept (even look at)us. At first she hardly ate or drank and we made sure we had Nutri cal on hand and place a little on her gums during those first couple of days. We let her tell us she was ready to be picked up and held-we didn't force ourselves on her. We talked softly to her and waited for her to come to us. Gradually she came around-now she runs the place and lets the rest of us live here.
But we didn't give up on her as we had accepted the responsibility-she was ours for life-we understood that when we took her.
Even though the woman didn't want her she may have been very attached to her and feels the loss or was very attached to the other dog.
