Open-minded care and compassion.
From small seeds, great trees can grow.
With rescue, you never really know what you're going to get. Because a dogs behaviour will adapt to the social and environmental context they are placed in. So with the most expert of rescue evaluations, you still have to prepare yourself for anything. A living, breathing being, utterly unique, who will have been through some emotional turmoil, who will have processed this, who will have their own views and ideas about how they want to live their life.
So rescue must be approached with an openness. With willingness to accept whoever arrives into your family, to love them for who they are, not what you wanted them to be.
Above all, a rescue needs time and acceptance. Don't rush. They need to decompress. To accept the changes thrust upon them without choice nor explanation. Don't take them out into the world too soon. Don't try to 'fix' them straight away. Allow them to breathe. Let them show you who they would like to be.
Give them time, and you'll be amazed what great oaks can grow from battered saplings 🥰
