One time I had gotten two year old dogs, they would not get out of my car to go inside. After a while I managed to get them out and they bolted into the woods. I eventually got them back and they would not do anything but sit in a corner. I decided to take them back to their original place...A couple years later I decided to try again and rescue another dog. After a while everything seemed fine. He was great with cats and everyone. A very smart doggy too! I don't if he had gotten mad or what but he bit me on the hand when I went to give him food. He had never did that before. I eventually decided to give him back too. Things weren't working out. So I bought my first puppy for $150. She was a sweet as can be a true cuddlebug. She is still here with me and I love very much. No health problems and very smart. I have had her since 12 weeks- 4 years and counting  I wouldn't get rid of for any money in the world. |
How unfortunate your rescue did not give you some kind of preparation or instructions on how to facilitate a rescue pup's adjustment into a totally new surrounding and family....those poor babies....I can imagine they were obviously absolutely terrified.....and needed some patience and understanding to get them adjusted in their new surroundings. Hopefully, the next person that took them worked with them and helped them overcome their fear and sense of abandonment. Congratulations on your $150.00 puppy....continued well wishes for her good health.
