Here's what the humans have to say about me:
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can! Phew – sometimes life can be overwhelming and just plain hard. My life was all that and more.
A very nice person saw my original situation where I was starving, covered in filthy matted fur, my teeth were rotting and she really wanted to help, so she offered to take me into her forever family. I didn’t know what was going on – I had never seen her, smelled her and didn’t really know what the outside world was all about.
She kept saying she loved me, but I didn’t even know her….during our first few days together it was just more than I could take, so I “snapped”. I ended up at an animal shelter – and boy oh boy – if I thought a different home with one new person was hard, I realized that LOTS of new people and so many animals is much more frightening.
I was scared, hungry, confused, and in pain, so I worked hard to make sure the people there knew to leave me alone! I may be tiny, but I do know how to act like one of the big dogs.
The shelter contacted Crossroads and things have started to turn around. I’m healthy for a senior guy and my teeth are in good shape (the few I have left!)
I’m living with fosters and am ready for a forever home, but it needs to be one where the people understand me and let me learn to trust at my own pace.
I’m really a sweet little guy with so much to learn about the world. I think I can, and I can’t wait to become “the little dog that could”!
