[matese]

Welcome to YT. I went through the same thing with my adopted boy. He was 2 1/2 when I got him. He was a surrender pup. He was gotten for a little 8 y/o girl when the parents were getting divorced as a comfort to the child. The little girl adored him. trained him. He was given no toys as the mother wanted this dog to want only the little girl as his playmate. This was told to me by the childs grandmother. I had Cody for a month, even tho he adapted to me and his new home & way of life (no more crating), I wanted to make sure he was settled in. Then I went and bought a variety of assorted toys. Poor lil thing didn't know what to do with them lol. I rolled balls, no interest, I squeaked the rubber toys, no interest, I threw the furry toys, a spark showed in his eyes, interest, after trying to kill the furry toys, he took interest in the soft rubber toys. Now he is the toy demon. You have her only a week, she may need more time with you, even tho you say she is attached to you she still needs time to adjust to a new home, new surroundings new way of living. Running around the garden is good bonding time, she may have been raised like my boy, no toys. Put toys away for a month then bring them out and see how she reacts. By this time she has gained trust in you . Please keep us posted on her progress. Time, patience and love works best. Thank you for rescuing this little girl.
