Same Dog, Different Owner

[hollysmom]

36. The people who had my dog before me brought her to a no kill shelter

but they labeled her vicious. Actually she is very nervous and scared and barks a lot and gets in other dogs faces but does not hurt them. She was labeled unadoptable and high strung, I had to lie my mouth off to get them to let me adopt her. Ijust could not see her living her life out in a cage at the shelter away from all other dogs. I figure they bought her and then she got too big and wasn't a cute puppy anymore. This dog never did anything to be labeled vicious to people. She was old and untrained - she chewed on my fingers but not hard because she has a soft mouth I just took a few minutes to teach her how to get my attention, She would cringe when I raised my hands as if she had been hit a lot and she knew the word hot and was terrified of mugs, meaning I drank hot liquids from glasses for about a year.

I think some people should never get pets if they don't do the research to see what pet is best for them. Anything worth doing is worth doing well, even loving an animal - right now my holly is a cuddle puppy, it took a while to get hr to let me pet her, it took longer to teach her to look me in the eye. - now she is super affectionate and a bit of a bully expecting me to be at her beck and call. She will come over and look at me until I feel her staring and look at her - then she takes me to what she wants. Haha and every visitor wants to steal my old puppy.
