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.

Steps. At 4, she has no idea what steps are. They are a scary drop in elevation - one after another after another. We sit on the steps, feeding treats & encouraging. She can sit quietly at the edge of the top step. That's fine for now.

Brie has come out. Tonight has been amazing. She has decided that getting a massage is worth the anxiety of being out.
And -
She fetches.
My heart may explode.

Happy Birthday, Brienne. You are 4 today. Your early prezzie was an owner surrender, a full vetting, and a buzz-cut. Today you got a 8 plushies, 4 balls, and a #Kong - all of which you stuffed into your crate to lay upon. Good girl!

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.

~Rescue: Surrendering~
We struggle. We hope. But things go wrong.
When your pet's care becomes a daily struggle, when weeks go by & you can't meet ^your^ needs (much less your pet's) - it is time to surrender.
Ask for help.
Let them go to another.
Free yourself to heal.

~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.

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.

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.
