My last rescue, Bonnie, would get over stimulated with all the activity in the house. She loved small little cubby's that she could run to when she felt threatened. I made sure there were places all over the house set up for her to use whenever she wanted. Eventually, something as simple as the corner in the kitchen became a safe place to nap.

Look for the triggers, try to remove them if possible and try to find what helps her feel safe. Remember, everything is so new and so big and so over the top to her right now. Give her time, you and Mrs. Beasley will get her to understand what a wonderful new life she has.

Teresa-

They are just beautiful!
