Golden Retriever Meets Terrified Rescue for the First Time

Golden Retriever Meets Terrified Rescue for the First Time
We've never had a rescue dog this scared before, she's had a really rough start to life. But hopefully with the help of all our dogs, we can help this rescue come out her shell.

I recommend against a harness, it causes their hair to break. I know it's not considered humane, but I suggest a NYLON choke collar also known as a slip collar, not a prong collar. These hang loose when they are off leash, you need to put tags on the ring that you do not connect the leash too, they are comfortable, and practically invisible when they are off leash. Don't use a collar for control, it's for safety. It's there to keep your dog from doing something stupid like running into traffic, and to keep their dog tags on, that's it.

[@stevdaughtr6098]

When I had mine come home, mine would try to eat moths. Little by little, she realized she didn’t need to and then we had to make sure that she didn’t have anything wrong or any kind of larva. She was pretty sick, but she did great she’s doing awesome. They will try to survive anyway they can but I didn’t want to pity her because dogs don’t feel safe when they’re pitied. Things like that I’d have to leave the room to think about.

[@stellamcqueen4809]

Agreed, it isn't always from being hit. Sometimes they can't see that your hand is coming and it gives them a fright. We can see their whole body but they can only see what is in front of them. Also most dogs hate having the top of the head approached first. No trauma is necessary, it's like how kids automatically hate it. Aim for the chest, shoulder or back of the neck. Give some scritches, then stop. If the dog comes to you and asks for more, you are trapped patting forever.

@@CODA96 and even after letting the dog settle down after a couple days, the dog could still snap. Let’s not worry about every little detail and celebrate that they rescued an animal. Even doing it the way you suggested doesn’t guarantee there won’t be a fight a week later. You have to go with how you’re feeling at that moment. If your gut is telling you for them to meet. Then let them meet. If you’re concerned then hold off for a day or two. They also know their dogs won’t attack so that’s another factor.

We had a dog like Luna, our wonderful Emma. We got her when she was 3 years old, she was chained to a house in Hungary for all of her life. It took us 3 years (!) to gain her trust, though we had our wonderful dog Gessy - she was just like Kobe: absolutely gentle😊 Gessy taught Emma a lot of dog stuff, but it took Emma 3 years to finally trust us and still she peed herself, when put on a leash until she was about 8 years old. It was a rough, long journey, with lots of tears from my side, until Emma was a „pretty normal“ dog, but it was worth it: when she finally trusted us, she was the funniest dog ever, who made us laugh every day😊 but, as Luna: Emma had very bad separation anxiety and although we trained, it never got better. One year ago we had to put these beautiful dogs to sleep, both on the same day: Gessy developed gastric cancer and Emma suffered from dementia for 1 1/2 years at that time, and was totally deranged.

What a beautiful thing you have done. I love your caring, love and compassion you have given Luna! I am so happy for all of you!!!!!

[@GroversCorner]

This was so moving and beautiful. Thank you for all you do for these very special and loved dogs.

[@Knucklehead123]

Your kindness is limitless - Gentle and caring!

[@wconradjr]

It’s so heart-warming to see these terrified animals rehabbed and come out of their shells.

[@fionanicolson2021]

To be honest I'm tearing up because if your amazing compassion. You are both such remarkable people who show such tenderness & spot on handling to rehabilitate these animals who only deserved love & care. I saw a quote: All dogs deserve a home. Not all homes deserve a dog, so true. Then there are people like you who deserve such praise ❤❤

[@pilarsarmiento9965]

Thanks for the kindness...❤🙏

[@Str8Bidness]

I lost my "Little boy," 2 years ago this month, and the pain is still too raw to want another dog even now. So I live vicariously through videos like this. Thanks for that.

[@sliceserve234]

Same here with my cat that I had many years with.

[@dorminhocasonhadora8944]

Sending my condolences!! 🤗 We lost our lovely 16 year old baby kitty last year and we still talk to her every day ...

life is short don't wait too long

[@jillboehm7684]

You are grieving your boy. Shelters have so many dogs who need someone to love them. They need a home and a family. Your boy wouldn’t want you to be so sad. He would want you to save a dog in need❤

[@tcbcmoto4895]

THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL FOR SAVING OUR PRECIOUS BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS 🙏❤️

[@DianaFern-bw4lw]

Thank you for saving her. What a terrible life she’s had.

[@joaniejones5114]

You two are amazing angels looking after these beautiful dogs

[@bobl4419]

You are so wonderful to do this for Luna. Well done!

[@DipityS]

You're doing such a wonderful job - you're good people 😊

[@emilyking12]

i love that kobe is receptive to the rescues body language and respectful to what he needs. that's a very smart pup. even corrects moki's excited behavior, almost like saying "hey, nows not the time." i primarily focused on helping the timid dogs while working at my rescue and this brought tears to my eyes. thank you for what you're doing, you're doing great!

[@wudzen]

Great Empathy guys! Thank you!

[@maryem8263]

Luna snuggling you after her long rest was so precious she loves you ❤ even after all she’s been through she still can show love. Incredible.

[@drops2cents260]

My two toms snuggle with me like that every day, so I know _very_ well how behaviour like this is a clear sign of trust (because let's be honest: in the end, cats (in general) are as addicted to snuggling as dogs (in general), innit?). That's why I suppose that for a rescue like Luna, this may have been a big step forward for her to develop trust in you as well as for her to gain self-confidence. So weill done, you! 👍

[@harvey7519]

Thank you for sharing. You two are awesome and those beautiful fur babies know it. Keep smiling stay blessed 🙏❤️🇨🇦

[@julietotino1331]

Thank you for saving this beautiful baby. Luna now knows love and safety, what a beautiful thing! 😭I wish all beings could have a happy ending like this one. Bless you and your beautiful pack!! 🥲❤️🙏🏽

[@lynnemanning9553]

BEAUTIFULLY DONE!! THANK YOU FOR TAKING IN LUNA!! YOU HAVE SUCH A BALANCED AND PATIENT WAY TO SHOW HER THAT YOU LOVE HER, I HOPE SHE IS GOING TO STAY WITH YOU, IT WOULD BE PRETTY TOUGH ON HER TO HAVE TO HAVE TO BE IN ANOTHER NEW SITUATION AGAIN....💟💟💟 I KNOW YOU WILL DO WHAT YOU FEEL IS RIGHT....

[@luciemarinov129]

I’m so happy u saved the poor abused Luna! God bless you both!❤❤❤❤

[@jdog2345]

You are so kind to rescue this beautiful dog❤ We rescued one of our dogs from northern Canada and he was so afraid of everything. We let him outside at first and he would not come near us for about 3 hours.Thank goodness for our older dog who I believe taught him that we were ok and life could be good❤ Kindness and patience 💫

[@drewrg]

I don't normally comment but I just wanted to say you guys are doing God's work rescuing and fostering these dogs. Thank you so much and keep doing the good work!

[@PhylissMcCreary]

[@suzie3381]

Thank you for giving her a chance - three years she waited for love and a forever home and because of you guys she has found it! xxx

[@dianerognsvoog1351]

You guys are pros

[@joijencuyah2345]

Wow! I've worked with so many scared cats, terrified of people & being inside, so I recognize many of your techniques. The biggest , most all-encompassing thing that I see you doing is being respectful & honoring of her pace; you are paying intense attention to her signals instead of pushing past them as most people would do. I honor your patience & your deeply compassionate approach.. You are truly miracle workers, who can lead the lost one from a place of terror & uncertainty & unsafeness to another world of feeling safe & loved & free! Bless your kind hearts 💕! I'm praying that more & more people see your videos & feel empowered to follow, to make this world a safer place for all of us! ❤😂❤

[@jennifersamson5114]

Just saw this video. You two are Angels sent from God to help this dog out. You handled the situations perfectly and helped her to know that there are people who are not cruel. I hate people who are cruel to dogs, cats or any animal but I love people who show love and compassion to dogs.

[@addefouw2258]

Thank you, for taken care for Luna! Love from the Netherlands!❤💙

[@lisacory7454]

SWEET LUNA, WE HOPE YOU LIVE A BEAUTIFUL LIFE. ❤❤❤❤❤

She went to the right place. This is a very lovely couple with a very lovely house and lots of love to give.

Your kindness to Luna is amazing and I am so grateful for your love to these animals.
