Back in June, we were contacted by a rural shelter who asked if we wanted a very unsocialized 4 month old puppy.  Someone had caught the little stray pup and brought him in. Of course we said yes. We knew he would be a challenge but we like to help the scared dogs. 
"Sarge" went to a foster home with two other dogs who helped him gain his confidence. He worked with one of our trainers on his socializing and leash walking and over the past few months Sarge has really blossomed.  He definitely needed someone willing to work with him regularly and teach him how to be a dog instead of hiding behind the couch (which he wanted to do).
When Sarge finished his vetting, it was time to post him for adoption but his foster family decided he was already HOME. 
Thank you Missy and Alex for fostering and adopting sweet Sarge and giving him the structure and guidance he needs. 
Foster failing is never really a bad thing! Sarge doesn't have to start over in a new home; he has been HOME all along. 
Thank you Kimberly for helping with Sarge's training and making house calls to see him!  You have made such a difference for this boy! We appreciate you! 
Have a wonderful life Sarge, Missy, Alex, Deputy and Louie! 
Thank you for adopting and not shopping!
