Well we can officially welcome Mildred - or Dre as we call her around here.
On 10/5 we donned bite gloves and picked her up from City of Waxahachie Animal Services. She was fear aggressive and has a HUGE tumor. Her outlook was not bright at the shelter but they knew who to ask.
It took 5 days for her to leave her crate, and another 3-4 days before we could touch her, another 3-4 days to leave the bedroom. Yesterday she ventured outside, and last night became one of the pack that sleeps on the bed.
We go on and on about the 3-3-3 Rule when bringing a new dog into your home and Dre is the poster child for how long it can take.
But trust us, there is nothing more rewarding than earning the trust of a scared dog.
Now that we’ve earned her trust, it’s time for a trip to the vet to remove her massive mammary tumor.
