"Nika" is making quick progress after 4 weeks with us. She knows her name and has the routine down regarding feedings, mornings and bedtime. She does not like rain, but will tolerate it well when access to the house is blocked. But, she insists I enjoy the rain with her for the first few minutes. Then she’s running and joyous. Now, she will take treats from an open hand, but is scared if they’re dropped or thrown to her. She has claimed her favorite toy and takes it to bed, but do not attempt to squeak it! She’ll run for cover! She’s improving on walks, but is still somewhat fearful. Doesn’t pull much. At this point, she’s sleeping on the bed or in her crate equally well. After a night in her crate, she just can’t get enough snuggles! She goes in and out the doggie door on her own.

Success Story:   September 6, 2024

Meka is adjusting well. She loves riding in the car and getting attention. She has claimed the chair in the living room as hers. She still has some issues with noises and the trash cans. She is adjusting to longer walks, especially with her sister Holly. She retreats to her bed which is her safe spot. We know it will take time for her not to be afraid but she has made progress.
