Amber 08-003 [1]

Sponsored by: Sandra Lynn 

Let me introduce you to one of the newest dogs to RAGOM---Miss Amber. She came into fostercare on Sunday with several other dogs. She is 4 years old, very timid, shy and scared. Living in a house is a new thing for her and everything is scary. The first 2 days I had to carry her everywhere. Thank goodness she’s a small size Golden, weighing in at only 45 lbs. Today, I’ve only carried her outside to go to the bathroom. Her safe spot is any corner where she can hide from you. I have had several dogs in my fostercare in the past with similar behavior, so I know if you’re just patient, patient, patient, she will come around.

Did I mention her beautiful eyes? Right now they look a bit sad, but I hope to get happier pictures of her soon. She sees the vet tomorrow for a thorough check up. I can tell you already that she is in heat (at least we know she’s not pregnant!) and will be spayed in approximately 4-6 weeks.

Please watch for updates on her.....I expect her to make great strides and you will be amazed how much she is going to change. Would anyone out there be interested in sponsoring Amber? We took in many dogs last weekend and could use all the financial help we can get. If you are interested, please see the main page of our website for further details about sponsoring a dog. Amber will even send you a personal note thanking you and special updates and pictures.
