Insights from my adventure buddies or foster friends:
Bucket is an absolute angel who just needs someone who is willing to be patient and gracious as she realizes that humans can be safe places. We spent almost four days with Bucket and I am so proud of how much she had grown throughout our time together. Bucket is a shy, fearful girl, who can get spooked pretty easily. When we first picked her up from the shelter, she was almost catatonic from how anxious she was, but after just four short days together, she made amazing progress. Our first day, she slept the entire time. The second day, she took an interest in toys and treats. The third day she was exploring the house and wagging her tail whenever we gave her some love. Our last day together she did excellent riding in the car and cuddling up with us before we had to say goodbye. Bucket slept through the night each time and often would sleep borderline on top me. She was very curious, and I’m so glad she felt safe enough to let out her personality a bit with us. Even though Bucket was afraid, she was still so sweet. She never growled, barked, or acted agitated towards us. After she warmed up to us a bit, petting her would often lead to her licking your hand and asking for more pets. She didn’t care if you touched her face, tail, paws, nose- she was chill with however you wanted to pet her. She is so brave and it is clear she really wants to accept love. I cannot stress enough how much she melted my heart.
Sweet Bucket just needs someone to take a chance on her! While super anxious at first, once she got on the bed, she quickly became a cuddly and affectionate girl. She got along great with my cat and seemed interested in other dogs when we spent a brief amount of time at the park. She was a perfect, sweet girl who spent most of her time snoozing while I read. She would frequently put her head on my leg and give me kisses. I can’t wait to see her come out of her shell when she finds her person! I can tell within a day she would steal anyone’s heart. She was the best cuddle bug and napping partner.
Bucket is incredibly happy and loving once she is no longer afraid, but will do best with someone patient. She is great with other animals and would benefit greatly from having another dog in the house. She still have some typical puppy behavior- chewing shoes, etc.- does great with toys! She is very sweet and loves to run outside and play with other dogs.
We took Bucket along with us to Purple Bowl for lunch. She was so brave walking from the parking lot to the outdoor seating area. She enjoyed people watching and didn’t get spooked by anything, even loud cars. When we got back to the car she jumped right in on her own. We were so excited because we had to lift her into the car at the shelter because she was nervous. After that we just relaxed at home on the couch and gave her lots of love and cuddles. Bucket LOVES the car. We rolled the windows down for her and she had the biggest smile on her face. She doesn’t stick her head out, she just calmly sits and lets the breeze hit her. It was so cute.
All newly adopted pets will need slow, monitored introductions to new people or pets in a home. Visit this page for more information about properly introducing pets.
