Here is the story of 2 Bichon Frisé girls, rescued several years ago from a local shelter. Sheree’s Dog Rescue cannot tag there usually as we are incorporated but not 501(c)(3) and never will be.
I got an email from that shelter because they took in 5 feral Bichon Frisé females from a woman who could not handle them, we were told. No rescue wanted them because of how they were. I named them: Berlin, Evan, River, Poet and Munich.
Two were pregnant and one, Poet, was obviously in**ed. After several months of being fostered, we started to see some improvement. The first one to be adopted was Munich, then Berlin. Poet passed away in her sleep and we never knew why but she was the one we thought was in**ed.
Evan & River are full blood sisters and were bonded. They were the 2 most fearful and unsocialized. They stayed with us two more months.
Then one day, we received an application for both of the girls. These applicants came to meet the girls and were told they were a high flight risk, gave them instructions on how to get the accustomed to their new home and told them they would need to be very patient.
The Slowbes adopted Evan & River and did everything we recommended to do. Since the adoption 5-6 years ago, they moved to Arizona and send me updates on the girls.
They went from being feral, scared, nippy, unsocialized to being friendly, playful, happy, heathy.
Her family gave the girls love, patience, security, training and here are the results:
Merry Christmas from 2 Bichon sisters, EVAN & RIVER
