Skylar (Harley Beth 17-038A) [1]

Sponsored by Friends of Flicka, "In memory of Yogi Bear, a perfect friend, sharing his unconditional love forever." Harley Beth, or simply Beth, was one of the lucky 18 dogs that RAGOM rescued at an auction sale in Missouri on March 4, 2017. Thank You to Denise A. and Scott B. for making the long journey both to and from Missouri with these precious souls! Also, thank you to Jim with Friends of Flicka and the many other donors who helped RAGOM get these dogs. Beth was born on December 11, 2011. She weighed in at 58.4 pounds at our vet visit last Friday. She has double ear infections and a couple of internal parasites that we are currently treating with medication. Beth was a trooper about receiving her vaccinations and having blood drawn for some additional tests. We will let her get more settled before we attempt the spay procedure.

To make sure that Beth arrived to and from our vet appointment safely you can see by the picture that we took extra precautions by having her secured with three leashes and a slip lead. Beth is wearing a regular collar, a martingale collar, an easy walk harness, and the slip lead.The reason Beth was secured by so many leashes and the slip lead is that she definitely is a high flight risk. You can see the fear in her eyes and her posture, as human contact is still a very scary thing for Beth. I have had many challenges in the past with shy and fearful dogs but Beth is the toughest one to date. We hope in time that we can soothe some of those fears but it takes patience and lots of time. She loves to be with the other dogs outside as long as Foster Dad keeps his safe distance away.

Her crate is her safe haven inside the house. So far she has not had a single accident in the house or her crate. Check back for additional updates.
