Cola’s story began on the streets, where she arrived to us shut down, underweight, and battling poor skin health. Life had clearly been tough, and she was scared of the world. But thanks to the patience and love of her foster, Cola is slowly learning what safety feels like. She’s now sleeping peacefully on the couch, exploring the yard, and even meeting neighbors—though she’s still working through her fear of loud noises and unfamiliar people. Her foster has found that a snug harness and gentle guidance help Cola settle when she’s on high alert. She’s learning to redirect her energy through play, especially with squeaky toys, and is starting to trust the rhythm of a calm home. Cola has just been spayed, and some of her behaviors—like humping blankets—seem to be stress-related and hormonal. She’s also a bit unsure about crate time, but with peanut butter treats and a quiet environment, she’s making progress. She’s sensitive to barking dogs, crows, and yard equipment, but responds well to distraction and gentle redirection. Her foster has developed a thoughtful routine to help Cola decompress, including walks, quiet time, and soft reassurance. Cola is a work in progress, but she’s showing resilience and heart. She’ll thrive in a patient, low-stimulation home with someone who understands that healing takes time—and that every small victory is worth celebrating.
