Zoey is another dog who has landed at CACC multiple times. Originally
she came in as a stray at about a year old. After being returned after
living in her adoptive home for a year, she was adopted and returned a
second time. Now, after landing at the shelter three times in her 3
years of life, Zoey needs some help. She knows some basic commands,
loves to play and is affectionate and attentive. She needs additional
socialization with other dogs, but has improved over her time here
with one on one work in playgroup. She just needs some structure and
stability in her life to thrive. This time at CACC she has been here 3
months....if you add it all up, Zoey has spent almost 8 months of her
life in various stages of the shelter system.
More background:
She originally came in as a stray, hung around for a month or
so, and then was adopted. The first time she was returned after a year
and the owner said it was becuase "she was not getting along with
the other dog in the home"....after a year? Sounded odd, so we
tested her in playgroup - she certainly was not aggressive in the
slightest, though was definitely a little odd in her playstyle, could
be rude and undersocialized, but played fine one on one or with a
couple friends who aren't wierded out by her.
Then the second time she was adopted at an event, I actually got
a message from the adopter about the second time. She said Zoey was
extremely affectionate, very smart and responsive and learned the
ropes of their new house quickly. She got along very well with their
small breed dog. BUT the family has a 3 yo son as well, and Zoey was
velcroing to one of the adults and displaying the beginnings of what
could be resource protectiveness from the young kid. They raved about
her good qualities.
She isn't in playgroup regurally since she is more and more
frustrated as time goes on and can rattle the other dogs with her
strange cues. She is very smart and incredibily eager to learn. She
would thrive in a training environment where she can get stability,
guidance and socialization. She is also gorgeous and will be very
adoptable once she is straightened out.
Work so far: I REALLY didn't want her to be put through the
misery of CACC a third time when she was returned after the
game....figured it was better to admit this system had failed her
massively and put her out of her misery than making her rot in a cage
for another three months. But she has a lot of fans amongst volunteers
and staff and she was spared.
