I once rescued a little Sheltie that had been eating out of trash cans most of it's life. I couldn't keep her but found her a good home. Those people had to keep the trash tightly covered for the rest of that little one's life because she always wanted to check out the trash. Hopefully once you little girl learns to trust you she will get over this. Healthy treats a couple of times a day might help, too. |
Awe, so glad to hear the sheltie found a good forever loving home. Doesn't it just break your heart though that they've had to "get used to" doing such things just to survive :-( I give Old Mother Hubbard treats, it took her the longest time to even eat one though, she'd just carry it around in her mouth looking for somewhere to hide it. I've actually found those treats in her bed stashed as well :-(
