Paula's Story
0 comments
She was just this close to being euthanized as a fear biter. At four months old she had been transported 500 miles north with two of her siblings after having spent those first four months locked in somebody’s basement and ignored. He saved her life by deciding that what he saw was not a propensity to bite, but rather a need to protect herself from human hands of which she had never been treated gently with. This was in October of 2006; she went to live with him, his wife, their other two dogs and three cats. Paula was scared of everything the world had to offer. Car rides, walking on leash, going outside to go to the bathroom, these were all things to be wary of, nothing was safe as far as she was concerned. The other dogs, a Siberian Husky and a Border Collie offered her a sense of security without aggression or fearfulness. They were rock solid for her; she couldn’t have wished for better mentors.
