A Terrified Puppy Named Moot

[Are_grits_groceries]

Moot's stray hold is up on 3/6/2012.
Nashville, NC - A picture can often portray emotion more effectively than words.The photo captured of a 3 month-old puppy named "Moot" at the Nash County Animal control is one such image.

Instead of the carefree joy typically encounted in young puppies, Moot exhibits absolute terror. According to the individual who captured this image, the first time that she picked him up, he was so terrified that he "poo'd".

No dog should have to experience such terror - a puppy this young should not even know that such terror exists. Moot is described as a 3 month old Lab mix who weighs approximately 10 lbs. Moot was picked up as a stray.

Moot needs to have a person who can make him feel safe and loved. He needs security.

2. He'll find someone.

He's still a baby and will find a loving home that will erase all that fear.

5. One of our rescues used to have nightmares

For the first year that we had him he would start screaming in his sleep. He'd never wake up, just scream and then stop. I have no idea what happened to him but it wasn't good. Three years later the nightmares have disappeared. He still dreams, but the sounds are now much happier.

I feel really bad for the pup in the shelter. We have five dogs and there's no way we could take in another. I wish I could.
