Why are rescue dogs so sweet?
I believe they are sweet and kind because they haven't seen love like we give them before.
This is Koda's story. Koda is our "puppy" dog. She's not really a puppy she's an adult dog. But, she will always be our puppy.
Koda's story is not like regular dogs. Her story starts out like any other dogs and then takes a turn for the worse. Her story starts before we even knew she existed. It starts with my grandparents. They are missionaries every summer for six weeks at a time. Well, they got a German Shepherd puppy a few months before they left so we were able to watch their sweet puppy named Jak. He was one of three dogs in the litter, one male and two females. We fell in love with him instantly. The breed is so loyal, kind, compassionate, and faithful.
We told the breeder that if he ever has another litter of puppies, we would love one!
Our time came sooner than later. It was unfortunate circumstances but we got her. When we got her, she was shy and not a people "dog." She didn't like to be touched. She was scared of us. It's really sad when dogs are scared of the people who love them and who are supposed to be there for them. It really breaks your heart.
She has since then come out of her shell. Her fur is so much better. Her skin is in great shape. She is in good shape. When we got her, she was not in the best shape because she was malnourished. In some places, she was very skittish. She didn't like to be touched on her back end. She has gotten better at that because she knows that we aren't there to hurt her. We are here to love her and take good care of her.
She is now healthy and loving her brother, Jak, so much. When they see each other, they love to play. Although, she gets annoyed at him very easily.
We recently got another puppy. An actual one this time. He is here to bring her companionship. He is here to bring her someone to comfort when we are gone during the day. He is supposed to help her anxiety. Her anxiety has gotten really bad lately. In the past year, it has gotten really bad. From chewing up shoes she knows she shouldn't or peeing in the house when she is five years old and she know better.
His name is Remington Winchester Buckshot Carrier. We basically got our dog a dog. We are really hoping Remi helps her. It will take a little while but I know she will get better.
So this is Koda's story. I hope this story has shown you that rescue dogs are worth it. They are worth the time it takes to let them heal. They are worth everything. Don't overlook them when deciding on a new family member. Remember they are not just dogs, they are family members.
