From a Frightened Stranger to a Cherished Family Member
Bringing a rescue or adopted dog home is a journey of hope. But for your new companion, it’s a journey into the unknown – a world of new smells, new sounds, and new faces. Their past has taught them to be wary, and their anxiety is their shield.
You see the beautiful soul hiding behind those worried eyes, and all you want is to help them feel safe. But watching them remain anxious, unable to settle and enjoy their new life, can be incredibly difficult.
You might feel a pressure to "fix" them, when all they really need is time, patience, and the right kind of understanding.
