Hi. My name is Priscilla and I’m new here. To be honest I’m pretty much new to everything. Even though I’m about 2 years old, the whole world is new to me. Does that sound strange? It does. I know it does. Let me explain...
A few short weeks ago the whole world opened up to me. I was turned into an animal shelter and that was where my life actually started. I know that most of the time going to a shelter is a bad thing, but for me it has become a turning point in my life. The shelter is where HBR found me and gave me a chance at life. You see before I went there I was barely living.
Even though I don’t speak human, I’ve been finding ways to tell them about my past. I’ve been slowly but surely starting to open up and tell my story to my foster family. So far they have been able to figure out that I lived my life in a cage. I wasn’t able to go out, run, or even walk around a lot. The humans who had me seemed to have only wanted me because I could have puppies. That was my only value to them, so they just left me there. Locked up and by myself.
I’m also sad to report that when I did interact with them it was not pleasant. They were not nice to me, and they did not touch me in nice ways. It was like being a prisoner. Then (I guess when they were done with me) they turned me into the shelter. But as I mentioned before this was a good thing for me. It may have been the only nice thing they ever did for me. They let me go.
So now here I am. I’m with HBR. And despite my past, I’m doing really well! Sure I’m cautious, and I like to sit back and observe before I interact, but my foster mom tells me it’s okay to be a little bit shy. Do you want to hear what else my foster mom says about me? You do? I’m so glad to hear that. I was really hoping you’d say yes!
She says I am the sweetest, most gentle, smartest, most calm, wiggle butt she’s ever been around. She also told me how amazing I am for not letting my past get to me and make me give up. And she’s right about that! Even though my life didn’t start out so well, I still know how to give and receive love, and I still know how to be part of a family. I probably shouldn’t tell you this, because she told me not to (something about hurting the other wiggle butts’ feelings), but she says I may be her most favorite foster ever. Isn’t that awesome?
Since I’m smart, it has been easy for me to learn everything my foster family has been showing and teaching me. For example I have learned to only go potty outside and I’ve learned to walk on a leash. I know how to sleep on a dog bed, and I found out that I’m great around kids. I also learned that I liked to be petted and I’m learning how to play with toys. There is no limit to what I can learn!
So that’s my story. My past and my present. The only thing left is the future. I wonder if you will be in it? Please fill out an adoption application and let’s find out!
