  • The most incredible transformation I've ever seen. All she needed was a chance. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't witness it with my own eyes.

    Finding herself in a home full of happy & friendly dogs, who trust the big human, must have made a huge difference to her. She saw how they were around Lee & decided he was safe

      We have a rescue, Aussie/BC mix, who came out of a hoarding situation @ 5 years old. She was fearful & shut-down like this also, according to her foster. The foster had 3 dogs + also a doggy daycare. Yes, the other dogs helped this hoarder girl become comfortable, learn to be a real dog, and start to trust the foster. The other dogs truly do help the fearful dogs to learn & trust more. (Our little rescue is pretty much the boss of the home now, and enjoys her status, entirely!)

    Years ago, after surviving a trauma, I was basically a “shut down lady who had given up on life”. After a year of wallowing in grief I started working with refugees overseas, and when I returned to the states, I started fostering as I had a lifetime of experience of dogs.
    Volunteering in foster showed me that animals that have been neglected or abused can come back, and therefore I can. It wasn’t that I/we healed the dogs… It was that the dogs healed me!❤ 🐾

    I had this same experience with my dog Bella. I adopted her at 5-months old and she was so afraid of everyone except for ONE lady at the rescue. She had been surrendered twice in her short life, both times because "she has no manners or self-control and she's destructive." I adopted her, held her paw and sang to her the whole drive home and now we're inseparable. I can relate to Lady so much, and I KNOW she's exactly where she needs to be. You're an angel, Lee.

      I have seen so many videos. It seems to me like when there are packs of dogs at a sanctuary, a dog like Lady is happy and relaxed right away. We see it when there are 2 other dogs but every time when there is a pack. I wonder if the dog thinks well this is a good guy because he likes dogs and these dogs are happy so I can be happy too. My other thought is that it goes deeper than that. So I wonder if dogs have some language amongst themselves where they tell this dog she will be ok and this is a good guy?

    What she witnessed was a pack of happy dogs; dogs who had no fear, and that fact caused her to not fear. At a shelter fear is in the air. She witnessed ogs enjoying their life to the fullest, and then she witnessed who their pack leader was and knew she too could trust him 100%. She looked so happy romping around the dogs. What a glorious thing to witness. I would have loved to be in the room with the shelter workers when they watched the video.

      That's an insightful comment - "at a shelter, fear is in the air'. It explains a lot about why dogs are often reactive when they first come out after all the panic, anxiety, and lonely barking and seeing some dogs get taken out while others remain. I am so happy i got a rescue dog and gave him time to find calmness outside and around other dogs altho he has always been calm in the home and slept on my bed since the first night.😍🥰

I just talked to him gently and left food for him, and left the back door open so he could go potty when he thought I wasn't about. A few days later he came out and played with my resident dog and she was so gentle with him. He came and put his head on my lap and accepted head scratches, then I was able to take him out on a lead to the field behind my house. I think we did ten walkies that day, he loved it. He's now been here 6 years and I adopted him, it was obvious he loved me and I couldn't bear the thought of tearing him away from the place he was used to. He's now so chilled and friendly. He loves people and just wants to be everyone's friend. He's hyper focussed on me, and always has to know where I am.

    My first rescue dog was very much like that, she was terrified of everything, everyone and also very young, just like Lady. I was drawn to her, I couldn't explain it, but I felt like she was meant to be my dog. A couple weeks in, she had not changed much and I began to wonder if maybe I had been wrong and my home wasn't the right place for her. I will never forget the day I was trying to play fetch with her, she was scared and coward away. I stopped and went to work on my garden, really down because I didn't know how to help her. A few minutes later, I looked down and she had brought the ball back to me and left it next to me. You wanna play girl?! She seemed excited for the first time, so I tossed the ball across the yard, she chased it and brought it back to me. From that moment on she was a totally different dog, my protector and my constant companion for many long years, and the best dog I ever had :)

    I believe that Lady responded to your energy, even when still so skittish, because she’s not only super smart, but she can read nothing but love in you. When she meets the dogs and understands how THEY trust you, it helps her release that fear so much more quickly. She’s going to have such an amazing life and deserves every bit of it! ❤️❤️❤️

    That poor sweet angel was clearly seriously abused by someone. It’s heartbreaking to see her fear and obvious signs of trauma. It was so wonderful to see that once you gave her control of her environment, she was then willing to come out of her safe space and slowly explore. Lee, I am constantly amazed with how in tune you are with what each dog needs to feel safe and loved. This understanding is especially true for dogs like Lady, who have been harmed and traumatized in her life BL (before Lee), and she can now learn what it is to be a beloved member of the Asher family AL (after Lee). ❤😊❤

    It just goes to show Lee what a loving, safe environment with other animals can do. She saw how well your other babies were cared for, and decided she had nothing to lose from trying to get some love and attention herself.
    And she didn't.
    I always say to the new doggies I see you get, "you have the best daddy, the best family now. It's gonna be ok."
    I'm unforesure if she will ever trust another home or be able to leave yours but one thing is for sure:
    She needed you and the pack.

    I saw a very similar situation on another channel called The Farm. This Australian Evans family have been taking in dogs who had many different problems from health to behavior issues but the extreme case of Faith was so sad. She is a boxer and was used as a breeder and only new a kennel to live in and abuse. She and her mother (Hope) came to their farm so frightened that they crawled on the ground. It was the pack of happy and loved dogs that began the process to heal and it has worked. Unfortunately Hope didn't live long due to an aggressive cancer. Faith has attached herself to Sam Evans (the mom and wife). They have a special bond. This show "The Farm" has the same energy and love just like the Asher House. I love dogs so much and wish I could do what these good people are doing on a large scale. I have rescued and loved 12 dogs of my own and I am hoping there will be a few more before I am done. I hear dogs go to heaven and if I am lucky I will be able to see my babies again.

    As the proud papa of an Australian Shephard, I can tell you that Lady will devote her entire life to you. Just yesterday, I took my Molly on a long walk in the mountains. She jumped a creek and turned, made direct eye contact and waited. I had some kidney surgery last week and was struggling. She waited, nervous for me, until I made it across. The second my feet touched the opposite bank, she changed to very happy, made eye contact like "Let's Go Dad!"! They are highly intelligent, sensitive, athletic snuggle bugs.

Yes - dogs/animals are people too. They show us humans our own true feelings and it is necessary to acknowledge them before any of us, and "creature" can start to heal. We can learn so much from you, your team, and all your blessed prior victims.

    Honestly, I think the way you went about it is something that a lot of people need to take a note of. My cat was traumatized and very skittish and I bonded with her just like that, letting her be in charge of her own space, make her own choices, etc. No forcing her into anything. Animals really appreciate that sort of kindness and they will turn it right back around on you at the first opportunity they have because they know you're safe. Honestly how that Dog reacted to you tells me so much about you as a person. A lot of people get dogs and then just constantly invade their space without any consideration of what the animal wants. That sort of trust has to be earned. Good job earning it and I'm so happy shes turning around!
