He's SOO happy! good for you both and Congratulations!
OMG, yes! Every time I hear someone say this (or read it on here, sigh), I get a little angry. I'm pretty sure Biscuit was dumped at a high-kill shelter at 6 months of age because some jerk "reverse housetrained" her by punishing this soft, sweet, gentle puppy for having accidents and concluded she would never be housebroken. It took us a week of "cookie-pushing" to housetrain her. The night my husband brought her home, she hopped out of her tiny rescue transport crate (after a 10 hour drive), sat down, and looked around as if to say "Hello, World!" I can't understand what kind of person could have concluded she wasn't worth the effort. She brings us joy and sweetness every single day.I hate it when people reject rescues as somebody else's problem- oh, that dog must have issues otherwise he wouldn't have been dumped. Some people are just stupid and cruel and give up awesome dogs. Skip the difficult puppy phase and get a great dog instead.
Oh I know. I hate the (getting less common) stereotype that shelter dogs all have problems. yes, some do. But many many more (the majority by far) are basically your average dog. No psychological issues, maybe some basic training issues like not walking nicely on a leash, and very often well ahead of the training game compared to a puppy.I have no idea why kabota was considered worthless. He has the nicest temperament you've ever seen. He's great with kids. He's just the sweetest thing you've ever seen. I feel like every unlucky moment of my life was luck being saved up to get him.
