I started helping DDR with fostering puppies last summer.
Each Puppy has brought me a different learning experience and so much love and joy!
CRAZY STACEY
The second puppy, a little street pup that had been locked up in a van to keep her safe, was very skinny when she came to me.Stacey had a LOT of energy and played with my dogs for hours every day until she dropped! She had developed separation anxiety, maybe from being locked up, and I quickly learned that she was an escape artist! The first morning, I was going to take Princess for a walk by herself. I went out the walkway towards the gate, turned around, and there was little Stacey right next to me. She had climbed the 5ft fence to my yard in seconds! At work, she would get out of her play pen by climbing over it. I made a roof out of cardboard and thought I was smart…….until she figured out how to lift the pen and get out underneath instead! She would figure out anything I came up with, but how can you get frustrated looking in to her big eyes who said; “I just want to come with you”.She earned the nick name “Crazy Stacey”.
Little by little, she calmed down and learned to be by herself for short periods of time. When Lori told me there was a man who wanted to adopt her after spending a month with me, I got a little nervous. I scrolled down the application and read, “I WORK AT HOME”. A match made in heaven!!
Scott came to meet Stacey and decided to adopt her. She is gradually learning to be home alone and I am so happy that this little girl found the perfect person.Her name is “Penny” now, and this photo was taken the morning I delivered her to her new dad!
