Success StoriesBuffy, February, 2000
Unfortunately Buffy came with a lot of baggage due to living her whole life in an outdoors kennel with no human contact. She was not housebroken, suffered from separation anxiety and was extremely timid. These issues would obviously make her hard to place and her foster home already had 15 other dogs to care for. Another foster home became available, but they had their work cut out for them. When Buffy came to the new home, she still showed extreme timidness and fear of men. She did not know what a toy was nor how to play with either people or other dogs. She didn't even know what a dog biscuit was! The family worked hard to earn Buffy's trust and slowly she began to pick up toys, eat treats and accept petting. She was nick-named Buff-Puff because she was such a soft dog.
UPDATE -- October 2000 Buffy has now been with Alice for 6 months. Alice writes: Buffy is a doll. When we're out and about, she gets a lot of compliments. People are always telling her how pretty she is. The foot of the bed is no longer good enough for her, she now needs the pillows to put her head on! Bless her little heart! |
