<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Comic Sans MS">Thank you Jane for explaining
about how foster dogs personalities change. It is usually always the same with
each aggressive dog we get into rescue the first several months they lay back
and analyze their new situation and once they become familiar they revert back
to their old protective ways. I have had several fosters who were so submissive
for weeks they seemed sweet and shy then one day they snap. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Comic Sans MS">I try to be as honest as I can
about the dogs we have in rescue, for one thing, I do not want any
accidents or surprizes, I want the adopter to be happy with their new adoption.
But animals can be unpredictable and you never know what will
trigger an unwelcome response. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face="Comic Sans MS"> I had one foster dog for two
months he was so shy and sweet then one day I said in a stern voice NO! when he
snapped at another dog while I was giving treats and the dogs eyes
turned glassy and he looked wild as he came after me he bit my leg
tore a hunk of skin off my thigh through my jeans, and then he lunged again and
took another bite out of my leg, I put my hands out to protect my leg and he
tore three of my fingertips off. I finally got ahold of the broom and put it
between us and I escaped into the bathroom and stuck my fingertips back on
with steri strips and bandaged my leg. Ten minutes later he was sweet as pie.
You never know what these dogs have been through and what will trigger them.
Their owners who surrender them definitely do not tell us the truth.
