I adopted Coral from a Yorkie rescue. She was skitish and would never turn your back to you. We bonded right from the start. I was the only one who could pick her up from the ground.
When we first got her she bit my son and would knip at his heals and bark and lunge at him everytime he would walk into the room. She only did this with him and it would break my heart. But I knew that I would not give up on her.
One day she jumped our fence and my son, Seth, found her in the neighbors yard. She would not let him get close to her she just stood there barking. The neighbors didn't have a gate ,knowing how much she meant to meant to me, he stayed there even after it stated to rain watching her so she would not get out. Finally another neighbor came out after they heard her barking and took her inside our house for him.
It took her a whole year but I will never forget the day I walked into his room and she was sitting beside him and he was petting her. Just thinking about it makes me cry .... I miss her so much.
You never know how long it will take them to adjust. You just have to be willing to take a chance on them.
