Diary of A Rescue Effort: Continued

UAF Volunteer Kim keeps up updated about new fosters Willow and Barron's improvement!

Week 3: Sometimes in rescue you just keep doing what you do and in a quiet moment you look around and realize they have arrived. There is still work to do. There is leash walking and car riding but emotionally Willow is where she should be. New foster dog arrived yesterday. On the bed playing with her new best friend.

Week 4: Updates on Both Dogs' Progress - Willow: This is the most dog social of the two and very savvy about it. If one of the dogs she lives with gets annoyed with her and growls she flirts and bounces around to intitiate play until they soften. She is still tentative around people and will probably never be a dog that likes to be hugged but if you are sitting down she will allow lovable handling. She jumps in the air like a gazelle at meal time. She will make a lovely companion for someone willing to continue to work with her to gain her confidence. She will be forever loyal.

Baron: This is a very fun loving, life loving boy. Carries around a rubber chew toy all the time. Loves to hug, walks nicely on a harness and is very good with other dogs. He chirps rather than barks. He is a wonderful boy that will continue to flourish in a patient, calm and supportive household.
