      And you have to accept them for where they are. Always.I adopted a "Senior" dog who wasn't abused per se...or so it appeared...but neglected. She wanted to be near me and was protective, but wasn't big into lots of affection or pats or laying on me. Nothing. But f I was sitting on the couch, she'd walk over to my legs and lean into me. Then I knew she wanted some petting. Never a "kisser" either. I adopted her to be a companion for my other dog, but their personalities were so different it just didn't happen. Every once in awhile I'd catch them laying next to each other on my bed though. That made me happy.

    We adopted a Beagle who's paperwork said was crate trained 18-20 hours a day, very abused and afraid of everything. Wherever he hid we'd just grab a book and a blanket to sit about 5 feet from him. After about 3 months he was comfortable on his bed in my room near me, and it was almost a year before he'd cuddle on the couch with us. He would always run from brooms or mops so we'd set them against a wall to give him time to leave the room before cleaning.
    We had him for 13 years, and I'll never forget the first time he didn't flinch or run when someone stood up and walked toward him. That was the day I knew that he knew he was finally safe.
    Just this small clip tells me your pup will be fine. It may not happen as fast as you want it to, but it'll be one of the best experiences. Good luck!

    I was at least the 5th owner of my rescue pup. I got her at 5 years old. The 1st 10 days she was perfect and then she realised she was staying. She destroyed so many things, and any noise, even ones she'd heard before, sent her to hide in my bathroom for just about a year. I have had her 4 years now, and she's learnt how to be a dog, sniff, play, etc from my other older dog. Just before Christmas last year, she finally looked at me with her eyes while at home. Elsewhere, she always looks for me to make sure I don't leave/abandon her as others have before. Our connection is getting stronger every day, and I can't imagine life without her. The challenge has been so worth it.

    Adopted a 4 month old Sheepadoodle (Breeder asked me to pick him up). Abused… isolated, terrified of the dark, only occasionally fed (and we soon learned he was violently allergic to red meat), and the list goes on. He initially didn’t trust us at all, would not play, was terrified of hands… and then one day (almost a year later) something clicked!! He started acting silly and we realized that OMG… we have a puppy! Since then, he gets the zoomies daily, plays with toys, plays fetch and tease, has a basket of toys and each one is his favourite, and he hums/sings to us when he’s happy.
    We NEVER gave up and it was the smartest decision we’ve ever made. We all LOVE him unconditionally. ❤❤

    Patience is the key. My friend had a feral cat living in his wood pile for a few years and he was surviving well enough but the winters were tough, I'm sure. We decided to trap him in a Have-a-Heart trap. That took 3 months. He was smart and could go in, eat the food and leave without triggering it. Once trapped he was very defensive and could not be touched. Then came a vet trip for check and shots, then to my guest bedroom. Once month later another trip to the vet to be neutered. That was tough! I took me and my friend 3 hours to trick him into the pet carrier, both wearing oven mitts. After that, he calmed down a bit but it took him 9 months before he could come out from under bed while I was in the room. Finally, he just laid down beside me and let me pet him, brush him and it was like overnight. Now he's fully integrated into the household. Patience is IT.

    What a beautiful day for that surprise!!! She had such distrust for humans. That made me happy ♥️

    Someone online said the other day that cats are better because you have to work for them to trust you. They have no idea what they’re talking about. So many dogs have trauma 😢. Your pup is a direct reflection of how wonderful you are as pup parents ❤

    When I see success stories like this, my heart melts. It's sad that pets are mistreated, but to watch the transformation to feeling happy and safe is amazing

    The trauma the poor pupper endured is obvious. Patience, understanding, and love just like a child would need. ❤😢😊

    - Awe that poor dog. No animal should ever be *that* scared of a human. That goes to show how poorly she was treated. Thanks 2 these ppl who saved her life so she can be a *happy* pup forever. 🐶
