Hi my name is Angel and you probably think that is sort of boring but I believe my foster mom is the true angel for rescuing me so I love my name as gratitude for her saving my life!

I am not exactly sure how I ended up on the farm where she found me but I must have done something awful for my family to have dumped me in the country or not bothered to try and find me if I had wandered off. Especially in January when the temperature was below zero many nights. Needless to say I did not trust humans very much at all.  I could sense though that my foster mom was different and when her car would pull into the farm I would follow it.  She tried to get me to come to her but I would just back away because I just was not sure.  I would sleep with the cat on the back porch at night and the farmer’s wife would feed me but I did not let them get near me.  I knew they did not want to hurt me but I also knew they had lots of other animals and I wanted a human of my own to love and care for me.

Well my foster mom decided I needed rescuing and how right she was.  She cooked up some chicken fingers and eventually got me to take them from her hand.  I would not follow her inside but I would let her pick me up and hold me in her lap.  I just loved that feeling of being wanted and loved!  I went home with her and for first time in a long time slept a sound, safe sleep.

Then she took me to this place they call a humane society and again I could not figure out what I had done wrong that she did not want me.  I refused to let anyone near me and would not eat.  I was so depressed.  They were getting ready to put me to sleep, but my foster mom could not let that happen so she came and picked me up.  She tried several rescues but they answered emails with one word sentences such as ‘Full and No’, even when she offered to foster.  Then she found ERU and the second angel came into my life. 

ERU agreed to take me into rescue if she would foster me and they got her approved and I was so happy!  I took my medicine with no problems.  I am a very determined little girl when I want something and I wanted to be with my foster mom.  She would take me to work with her, then one day she decided to leave me home in a crate.  Well there were towels on top and I pulled them all in and pooed in them!  I just did not know any other way to tell her I was not happy.  If she left me in a room I would whine and bark and jump at the door. 

I was afraid of her husband and did not like to go near him but she had him take me to work with him for about 3 weeks and eventually I realized he was not a bad guy.

My foster mom has a lot of patience with me to help me get over my abandonment fears and I will even approach some strangers for attention.  I am ok with children that are respectful of me.  I ignore the barn cats but my foster mom’s cat will come up and smack me in the face for no reason!  What is up with that?  So I will chase her once in a while, but not too hard because I really don’t want to catch her.

I get along with other dogs as long as they are not too big and energetic because then they start making me nervous and I will snap at them.

I have realized that all humans are not bad and I truly love my foster mom a great deal.  I follow her everywhere.  If she is home I will not go outside for her husband unless she goes with me.  If she is not here though I will happily play in the yard for hours.  I now can stay at home by myself having full run of the house and will go into my crate to sleep

I love walks and cuddling on the couch to watch T.V.  I don’t bark a lot and as I said in the beginning I know and love my name very much!

I know my foster mom is hoping I find a furever family and I am not sure why I cannot just stay here.  If you want a little girl that loves you and only exists to be next to you then take a chance on me.  I may struggle with understanding the change but if you show me the love and patience I experienced here I will realize there are more humans out there I can love and trust.

I should tell you also I am all up to date on my shots, have been spayed and take a  monthly HW preventive.  I am HW positive but ERU has had great success with a slow kill method which is much safer and less painful for me.  In the past year they have had 5 out of 6 successful results using this method.
