PLEASE HELP US TO HELP KORIE! HE NEEDS TRAINING AND REHABILITATION!
About 5 months ago, we were tagged on a post about Korie. This handsome boy has not had a happy life! At about 18 months old, Korie spent most of his life living in a basement. He was rescued by a well-meaning Good Samaritan who, once he saved Korie, was clearly in over his head with this guy!
After a stay at a local pound, we were asked to bring Korie into our rescue. We evaluated him and agreed to do that.
Korie spent time in two separate foster homes. In the first one, we noticed behaviors that we knew needed attention. He spent time with a trainer and then went to another foster home.
In the second foster home he was doing well! However the foster family's dog made it absolutely clear that he had NO interest in having a live-in guest. We did not have another foster for Korie, so he went into boarding. Although we posted and posted for a foster home, no one stepped up. As a result, he spent quite a long time in boarding.
When a dog is in a kennel instead of a home for that length of time, he loses ground. He does not have the opportunity to practice what he's learned in a home setting.
As a result, Korie is now in a board and train program. Our own trainer does not have the ability to do an in-home board and train, and we are fortunate that he knew a trainer who DOES do in-home board and trains, who he could recommend.
Korie has now been in training for about 2-1/2 weeks. He will remain in training for about 3 more weeks.
This program is absolutely essential to Korie's well-being. He is learning to meet people in a wide variety of settings, and learning that he needs to do so politely, without reactivity, and that he no longer has to fend for himself - that we are all here to protect him, rather than his having to protect himself and all of us!
The cost of Korie's training is $1,500.00. Without it, he would have virtually no chance of becoming a happy, balanced dog and a good citizen and family member.
He is doing great! And we have absolutel confidence in our boy's ability to put his demons to rest for good! But we need YOUR help in order to help him!
Korie has the most TERRIFIC smile and we want to see him smiling more often! We want to see him settled happily in a wonderful foster - and then forever - home! We believe in Korie! We love him! We have seen the soft, cuddly, affectionate dog who shows himself when he knows and trusts you. We are determined to give him the opportunity to live his life as a happy, healthy, balanced, wonderful family member!
$1,500.00 is a considerable expense for this small non-profit rescue. We are asking everyone who reads this to please - give whatever you can to help us offset the cost! We cannot do this alone! We need the help of everyone in the animal loving community on Facebook to join with us.
Your donation - small, medium, or large - will help us not only to help Korie, but also dogs like him who are still waiting for us.
The Facebook community has come together to often to help dogs in need, and we are asking you all to come together once again ... please! ... become a part of Team Korie! Together we can make ALL the difference for this deserving dog!
