Some dogs just need a little extra help… especially those in shelters. And sometimes, those dogs end up becoming some of our favorites!
💚Pickles is no exception. 🥒
We’re not sure what life looked like before Pickles made his way to our friends at Nate's Honor Animal Rescue Center, but given the old eye injury he suffered at a young age, we can’t imagine it was all rainbows and butterflies.
Like many adolescent dogs going through their teenage phase, Pickles was struggling in the shelter environment. He was being overlooked month after month, simply because the stress of the shelter made it difficult for him to show people who he really was.
Thanks to an incredibly generous and dedicated volunteer, Pickles was given the opportunity to come to us for training, and what a difference it made. 🙌🏻
With some ground rules, clear communication, consistency, and a little time to decompress, Pickles showed us his true personality: a silly, goofy, fun-loving pup who just needed someone to give him a chance.
Pickles has officially completed our Training Camp program and is now back at the shelter looking for his forever home. 🏡
Of course, returning to the shelter is another big transition, so it’s all hands on deck to help Pickles remember his manners, keep building on his skills, and show potential adopters the BEST version of himself.
🐾 Pickles is around 1 year old and dog friendly!
He deserves a family who will continue to give him the structure, patience, and love he needs to thrive.
Please share Pickles far and wide and help us find this goofy boy the forever home he so deserves. ❤️
Sometimes all a dog needs is for someone to finally give them a chance.
FDF is here to help support Pickle’s transition to his forever home, which includes follow up lessons for his adopter. We want to see this boy thrive!!
