What a rescue can accomplish...(crosspost from DRC)
What a rescue can accomplish…
Both our boys, Clifford and Cloud, are rescues. Clifford came to us 13 months ago at the age of 10 months, he was found abandoned by Joe Louis Arena in downtown Detroit and was naturally afraid of cars as I’m sure he spent time dodging them before being rescued. Cloud found his way to our home and hearts 6 months ago at the age of 2 years, after being found as a stray by animal control. Cloud was afraid of anything we carried yet after some practice he fearlessly walked up to a person walking with crutches and another rolling in a wheelchair to pass his therapy dog test– in only 6 months with us. We are in no way great trainers, I’m often in awe of the accomplishments of other doodle owners as they describe walking without a leash with distractions. It is amazing to me how far our guys have come to have earned their Canine Good Citizen (CGC) and Therapy Dog (TDI) certificates last night and we are over-the-moon proud of them. This just goes to show, you don’t have to start with a puppy to end up with a wonderful dog!Comment
