Buffy

Buffy is a dog that reached out and grabbed me. She was posted to our "dog list" at work with this bio and photo:


PLEASE Help this gorgeous healthy terrier (shelter claims she is schnauzer mix). She was in the shelter for 7 weeks and is terrified. She was just rescued last week, and has anxiety and is scared. She warms up to another dog with in one day (lashing out at first), so needs a place to decompress where there are either no other pets, or a very mellow pet and where someone is home all day. We need someone willing to teach her life is safe and how to get over anxiety (we have a great document to get you started). She does very well in a yard, but has chewed in the house, so will need supervision. Once she is calmed down, the original foster may be able to take her back. PLEASE HELP HER. We can provide a pen/crate, food, etc.

This is the kind of dog TTouch was created for! I responded to the notice and paid her a visit at a new foster home on Saturday after the shelter.

What I found was a lovely little dog that has yet to be taught where to potty. Although she was cautious at first she came around quite nicely. By the end of our session a neighbor approached her head on with his hand sticking out and she didn't so much as flinch!


Buffy needs a foster home that is around most of the time that can take her through a proven protocol for separation anxiety. You know, if you don't give a terrier something to do they will create their own fun. That is what I think we have going on with Miss Buffy!

Lets hope that right home, or foster home, come along quickly for her.
