You must be the go-to person for the difficult cases now.It looks like I might be a temporary resting place for a few days for this sweet boy starting tomorrow morning. Tossed from a car and now has a fractured leg, pelvis, and tail. Road rash. And cruelly docked ears. WTF is wrong with people.

Actually, I've seen this before. Begins with the dogs next after taking the bar exam in several states, children.
Woman from my hiking group was a nurse then law school, fostering animals then adopting a child from a bad situation in IIRC, I think China. After the ordeal she went thru in the process she left a prestigious law firm to open small practice specializing in child adoption, adoption from abroad. Give @coskigirl Robyn a few years, you'll see...
This was a hard feature to read but lends to the dog adoption and fostering journey.
Some dogs have been surrendered so many times that they don't know how to be socialized.
It takes that one special person to know what they need.
Breaks my heart.

To love another animal so different and useless is to remind ourselves of how strange, complex, and irresponsible our behavior as humans can be.www.newyorker.com

Gypsy and you both have all won on the great lottery of meeting each over. It's a shame it just can't work out for the "problem" dogs.We put the effort into her with a dog behaviorist and classes to build confidence and socialization.
I'm sure that there are some dogs that can't be saved, but I'm glad that we found each other because we were willing and able to put the effort into it.
One thing the behaviorist did tell us about biting is that its harder to change the behavior of a dog that has bitten because, when they bite and get the results they want from biting, its hard to alter that. (not impossible, but more difficult)
Hi Dog Lovers! Just found this thread....I looovveee it. You're doing great work with foster care.
I'm a big, silly, dog lover. See a picture of my pooch, Luna, below.
Question: Where did you get that wonderful brass engraved name tag? Luna wants one!!!

Sometimes that is what makes a difference. The right person with the right pooch.And of course my sweet Hatch was amazing and loving with me but other people were super scary. Eventually he made it through that with the help of a different foster.
