Be a FOSTER
Being a foster family means avoiding shelters for a fragile and needy animal, whose only thing we know is the conditions in which it was rescued.
It means discovering his/her personality, his/her fears, his/her limits…
It means understanding his anxieties and their manifestations: vocalizations, damage, uncleanliness, "aggressiveness". For these mistreated animals to have often learned only one thing: what is necessary to survive.
It is therefore to have the patience to repair the damage of human stupidity in order to help them.
But it also means being his person. You will be the landmark of this animal who often has never received a mark of affection.
Then, it might be a “foster fail” and you can choose that the dog stays with you forever!
