Dogs

I really hope someone adopts this dog, good luck.

this is the best time for me to share my journey of adopting a similar dog. if you get to the end of my comment and it inspires you to help (this dog or any animal) in any way you can, thank you.

I adopted a senior shih tzu that was extremely aggressive and blind from cataracts. the person holding my future dog was at a pet store about to consult to see what the pet store can do about finding her a new home. my mom was passing by and commented how cute the dog was, and the woman asked if she wanted her.

apparently, she was bouncing around home after home because of her aggression, the second to last family abandoned her with church people that didn't have the resources to help her after two months.

when I got her, she was covered in knots everywhere because local groomers could not handle her aggression and would quit midway. hell, there were 2 moments I was ready to give her up... I was tired of the constant biting and blood she was drawing from me. however, I am so glad I persevered.

if you are reading this and have the capacity to not give up when working with an aggressive dog, please do.

I will not lie, the road to where she is now was very hard and difficult. she was always biting me, cutting my skin and making me bleed, anger management issues like crazy at first. she is still aggressive and doesnt like to be touched at all, but it is absolutely nowhere around where she was before I gave her stability and I was able to get her eye surgery to fix her vision. now that she sees, she is so much more confident and actually allows me to pet her sometimes

here she is a couple of days ago wagging her tail like crazy!
