Sometimes, the truth is, not all can be 'saved' & we must luve with the consequences of hard truths. Behavioral euthanasia in rescue is a reality & it can take a toll on volunteers.

The Rescue Diaries
Day 6
The meds are working. She feels better but still can't remember what 'being a dog' means. She loves plushies - we rain plushies upon her. She finds a happiness. She relaxes a little more. She asks to be petted. It's a good day.

~The Rescue Diaries~
With Vetting done our shaved foster learns her new routine. Howling thru the night makes everyone sleepy today but that will pass.
She trusts no one & nothing.
She bites. It was the only way she could tell her abuser to stop.
This is a long road.
#caninerescue #breedrescue
~The Rescue Diaries~ After being settled with clean bedding, water, a snack, & a soft radio - she howled most of the night. 🙄
We are all sleepy today.
Tomorrow she will meet her Veterinarian. Tomorrow thresholds will be crossed & life begins anew.
#caninerescue #breedrescue #ScottishTerrier
~The Rescue Diaries~
The simplest of things: safe, comfortable crate, fresh water, a swept & mopped floor, soft music, fanned air. All foreign.
But - she took chicken from my hand. Moving forward.

We’ve just had a detailed conversation with the vets at the Virginia Tech teaching hospital about Kizy. Her situation has deteriorated over the last 2 days…

Got a report on our #fosterdog from his new family this morning: everyone is #smitten. Baby boy is in the perfect home where his #scottishterrier needs match his Staffer's style. In #breedrescue finding that balance is a study in #Happy.
We're overjoyed.

It's Fri-YAY! Our foster lass recommends having a ball.

Our tall & goofy #foster boy left us for his #foreverhome this morning. Tonight he's beginning again for the last time. He's got great Staffers & 2 lovely #ScottishTerrier lasses to live & learn & love with. Our house is quiet, but our hearts are full.
#breedrescue #fostering #blueskydogs
Hagrid's been with us (off & on) since Halloween - waiting for the right Staffers to become available. He travels to his forever home on Monday. We'll miss this tall, loving goofball & look forward to updates from his new family.
Go get 'em, Mr.H! 🥰

Hagrid is decked out in his new sweater for #TerrierTuesday. This big guy is our current foster. He's missing the genes that make a #ScottishTerrier short (he stands 14") but otherwise he's all Scot! He's got a huge personality - to go with his name. A real charmer.

Whaddup #terriertuesday? Foster pup Fiona suggests curiosity as a foundation for a good life.

A cold morning. We're sitting with our favorite lap quilt ~ I'm knitting, Hagrid is napping. All's good.

"Is it #TerrierTuesday already?" asks McTavish (one of 2023s breeder surrender fosters.) A funny, barky boy who loved a loud screaming-pirate-chicken. He's living the Good Life now with a Staffer & bff Scottie lass. Such a g'boy!
