Lars is a very sensitive, shy dog who came to me as a stray. It was a challenge finding an adopter whom I trusted to work with his fearful nature and be consistently positive and gentle with him, so I had him for many months and posted him on many different sites. I was contacted by some nice people, however, and all the best prospects came to me through Rescue Me...probably because people who went specifically looking for a white Shepherd were more likely to understand and embrace Lars' shyness and anxiety. Finally, I heard from a dream-come-true adopter who contacted me through Rescue Me. She was a woman who works from home and has spent her life rescuing needy cats, dogs, rats, and other species and volunteering for the shelter. I brought him to her a few days ago, and she reports that Lars is already bonding with her and her son. She is unfazed by his issues and committed to working with him and earning his trust completely. I think Lars is beginning to relax and feel more comfortable, since he is in a place with someone who has time to work with him and help him feel more confident. It is a huge relief that Lars has found his forever home, and I am grateful for your site! |
