A volunteer writes:
I met Carver today and took him for his first walk to the park. He’s a shy, skittish boy who reacts to every sight and sound. For moments he forgets his panic and becomes a dog again, trotting, sniffing and breathing in the fresh air. But, more often than not, he is wide-eyed and quivering as he makes his way through the chaos of the street. Another underexposed, undersocialized youngster who’s trying his best to be brave. Carver needs a slow approach and a quiet place to feel safe. When alone in the backyard, I plop down on the ground and, little by little, Carver slinks over. He slowly places his paw on my knee, winces when I touch him in return, but does not try to flee. We remain still, his face next to mine. Eventually, his nerves get the better of him and he retreats under a nearby bench. I coax only his head out with my high value treat. Then we begin again… I plop, he slinks, we touch. He is all fear, hesitation, and confusion. It is important to note that, in this palpable mix, we have seen no signs of aggression. But, in order to thrive, Carver needs the kind of time we cannot offer. He is a work in progress who has shown signs of the kind of boy he is as he tries his best to trust and relax his guard. In experienced, patient hands, Carver will finally get the chance he deserves.
