Our New Rescue
We learned about this approximately 9-month old Maltipoo who was in the Morena Valley, California (near Riverside) Animal Shelter. She had not been adopted because she was too ragged and filthy and she was too scared in the shelter to allow their volunter groomer to work on her. So it was a "Catch-22" no adoption out of the shelter until she was clean and no bath as long as she was in the shelter and scared stiff...
However it was just fear that caused her to growl. We don't rescue dogs who have a history of biting because of the liability insurance which we keep. But, when I met her, she allowed me to pick her up and look at her teeth to determine her age. No growling or biting! She was just shaking like a cheap motel bed with a coin massage slot!
I had her in a travel kennel in the passenger seat on the approximately 50-mile trip from Morena Valley to home. I talked to her throughout the trip and occasionally put my finger through the door to get to know her and more importantly to let her get to know me. When I arrived home, I removed her from the kennel and found tht she wasn't shaking a bit.
As I write his, Judy is grooming her with no poblem. However, my hoodie needs a serious trip thru the washer. Boy, did this girl stink. Next up - A picture of Valley Girl (that's what I named her) after a bath and a little TLC...

Karen, on thinking about it you are right about them giving up the two dogs-not safe for them. Valley Girl looks like a little sweetie, even all mussed up. Judy and Richard are special people. Everyone wants to see her makeover!
