Story
Two things are happening in this clip... 1) she is allowing more contact with less uncertainty 2) we finally placed a collar on her and it went very smoothly A third thing is also happening that we want you to take note of: her body language. She is licking her lips every minute or so and you can see her do it, here. That can be submission but, in her case, we believe it is nervousness. She is unsure about the casual contact. She has not be engaged with eye contact the last week. You will see, however, she is making it, now. She isn't entirely avoiding of eye contact, after a week of work!! We have respected her and asked permission for most of the intrusions we have made. Trust building. Thank God our friends at MCAS asked us to consider her. They really do go above and beyond to help the animals that find themselves at the shelter. We love and respect our partners at the county animal shelter and we can only hope the rest of the community truly appreciates the blood, sweat and tears these folks pour into their jobs! We digress... Momma dog is learning trust and that was our first order of business. She needs a name and we have yet to work on leash. This has been baby steps. Each day we sit inside the van with her (secure and cool, away from the chaos of the house and not on the dirt). It's super uncomfortable but it's the only way to find air conditioned seclusion. It's also super inconvenient to have to move her around in the 36 inch crate like Hannibal Lecter... but we won't put the puppy at risk for Parvo and we won't rush things with the leash. It took us 8 days to get the collar on and the leash will take patience, as well. She had the lead clipped, today. But that was too much, too soon. She hasn't offered to bite us and trusts us with her baby. She eats gently from our hand and is allowing touch over most of her body, without reaction. She hasn't acted aggressively toward the cat, either. We are optimistic that she will turn a corner in her rehab and learn to relax. She is ready for the right foster home... and she comes with a bonus puppy!  Ocala FL ##1852804##

Story
Gizmo. 6 years old. He needs someone that can offer him a safe place to decompress. We are not in a position to take him but we desperately want to facilitate his surrender to a reputable rescue or adoptive mom.  He is a shih tzu and wire hair terrier cross. It prefers women because he has lived for a while with a man that just doesn't have the patience for him. He loves his mama and is fiercely protective of her. He has lived alongside of her cats and other dogs without problem. We are told that he is up to date on shots and he is neutered. He has some behavioral concerns so the local shelters they have checked with will not intake him. He does not have a bite history but he would not be good around children. He will require some rehabilitation (socially and emotionally) but we are hopeful the right person will be able to teach him trust the world again. He is located in Ocala Florida and this is what we would consider an urgent case. Owners have been trying to rehome him for quite some time and medical emergency (theirs) is creating an urgency that I greater than ever before.  ##2764244##

Story
Meet Spotty!  At 16 years young, Spotty is a sweet senior with a heart full of love—literally! He came to us after his previous family could no longer provide for his medical needs. He’s on chronic heart medication, and with a little TLC (and maybe a few pounds lost), he’s ready to enjoy his golden years to the fullest. Don’t let his calm, “grandpa” face fool you—he has bursts of energy that might surprise you with the cutest little zoomies! He loves to snuggle, sleep in cozy spots, and hang out peacefully with other dogs. He’s a bit overweight right now, but a healthy diet and gentle exercise will help him feel even better and keep his heart happy. Spotty is a loyal, gentle soul who still has so much love to give. He’s looking for a patient, caring home that appreciates the joy and laughter a senior dog can bring. If you’re ready for cuddles, smiles, and a little occasional zoomie chaos, Spotty is your guy PLEASE NOTE: All your current pets must be spayed/neutered, vaccinated and on heartworm prevention to adopt from Polka Dogz. We only adopt in Florida. All adoption fees go to help all the dogs in the rescue, some of which require extensive medical care. Thank you for caring for the greater good. Adoption fee is $150 and you can adopt me at www.polkadogz.org. ##2688327##
