She was a lovely pit mix we named Lola. She was the snuggliest, warmest, most beautiful (inside And ou) dog I have ever had the privilege of living with, but she was very fear aggressive and ended up nipping a small child at fort funston. We tried everything we could, but groups like yours were not around. I miss my Lola-girl everyday and she will never leave the core of my heart. Thanks for listening, and, right on, sister Squeeks!Molly & Bea & T., Tra-Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342729365440002647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-5838036833573138872009-12-19T15:13:23.939-08:002009-12-19T15:13:23.939-08:00Donna - Thank you for the beautiful story (I'm...Donna - Thank you for the beautiful story (I'm crying my eyes out here.)<br />Neil and I also feel truly blessed for having the honor of being Squeeks foster parents.

How many other dogs in shelters, that don't score well on their initial eval, have the potential to blossom? Probably closer to "all" than "none".<br /><br />Squeeks got the lucky breaks she needed -- more dogs need lucky breaks. <br /><br />s&b/mtyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-14195948420667999022009-12-18T09:11:35.024-08:002009-12-18T09:11:35.024-08:00This gives me so much hope.

Just dig a little deeper and find the shining light. We recently had a sit down to discuss whether or not to let a really sweet girl go. She was starting to fall apart in the kennel and she was really shy. Our last resort was using another dog to bring her out of her shell. It worked, she went home. She is greeting other people as long as her buddy is by her side. She is now in a great home and doing great. It's blogs like these when we are on the fence that helps us to take that chance. When I look at your available dogs I think they are all perfect, when of couse that's not very likely. I appreciate you posting about the not so perfect ones as it gives us hope and inspiration to stand up and fight for the ones that normally would have been passed over.Leslienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-82104602191300217742009-12-18T08:43:08.102-08:002009-12-18T08:43:08.102-08:00Oh, man, I wish you'd gotten a clip of that sq...Oh, man, I wish you'd gotten a clip of that squeek!
