Shy rescue dog transforms into lovebug

[@barbaraedmonds8381]

Imagining the dog's fear and confusion always encourages my patience. You and your husband are model adopters!❤

I’m so happy you didn’t give up on her! I wish all shelters and rescues told people about the 3/3/3 rule. To many return after a day or two because the don’t understand these animals are traumatized at the shelter and are confused. They just need time and guidance ❤

[@sbcaliforniakitty]

EXACTLY!!💕💖🐶

[@melissadropdead4619]

I volunteer at my local shelter and I tell the adopters about it and they get a pamphlet about the rule and still bring back the dogs. Some people just don't listen or read the info given. It's heartbreaking too.

[@bornonthesun]

I just learned about it yesterday. I'm getting ready to adopt a dog after my dog passed a year ago. So excited!!!

[@gottalovegabe1176]

Kiki’s tongue hanging out is beyond adorable ❤ I just love how all these animals that get looked over finally get adopted and it turns out that they are super special and totally enhance the lives of their adopters. 🥰 Animals make our lives better, we are so lucky to have them ❤

You saved her and she saved you. She's adorable.

[@TheRealGSmith]

Thank you for telling people that it can be hard and that it's okay to feel overwhelmed as an adopter. I'm always amazed when a dog isn't traumatized, confused and anxious after switching from a foster to their forever home. I mean, I would be. Nobody can explain to them why this huge change is happening. Kiki seems absolutely lovely.

[@krisshensley9388]

You, your husband and Kiki are what's right in the world. We need not look any further. This is the meaning of life.

It’s so easy to forget that it can be frustrating having a new soul in the house. Especially one that has trauma. You did a great job!!

[@csydney]

You have formed such a beautiful bond as a family 🥰 It brought a smile😊 Glad you didn't give up.... Her sweet soul just needed time to trust and believe in you and you came through with flying colors 🎉 WISHING EACH OF YOU A HAPPILY-EVER-AFTER ❣️

[@edralphy]

She wasn’t biting or aggressive. AND that’s what matters. A mess can always be cleaned up. Yes a pain in the rump however a small price. Good on you for not giving up on her!!!! ❤❤❤

[@cyndipalmer8061]

Thank you for giving Kiki the home and love she always needed!!💞

[@ellaaltman2137]

For the first week I had my adult rescue pup, I set the timer on the microwave and took her out to potty every two hours as I did not know if she was fully potty trained. I would clap, woo-hoo and treat when she pottied. The 2nd week I extended it to every 3 hours. Anyhow, it worked for me so if there is anyone else out there struggling with house accidents, maybe try this method. As for sweet Kiki, so grateful she is now living the life she so deserves!

[@joanrobinson9193]

Thank you for making a commitment to her and not giving up!

Wow - that tongue looks way longer than any of our pitties ever had. So jealous - Kiki seems like such a love bug now (all rescue dogs are, if given enough time)❤

[@laurat1129]

Kiki's so cute, thanks for not giving up on her. She looks a bit like my neighbor's dog who just died, and this is also the day that one of my own dogs passed away. So as I remember them today, it was nice to see this video of Kiki. She has no idea of how silly she is w/the longest tongue I've ever seen, but that she finally settled in means she's loved.💕🐶☮️🙏🏻🌈

[@terencehealy9225]

Yes, I read about that 3-3-3 rule when I adopted 2 beautiful small breed senior dogs, and with time, patience, commitment & lots of love & hugs, my sweet peas knew there were home. It's been over a year and half now and Mikey & Bolle are doing great, I love them so much... I'm so grateful that the boys are in my life. ❤🐾🙏😇

[@lolololalala8225]

That tongue out of her mouth is just too much. She is sooooo cute.

[@sarapiper385]

Thank you for rescuing her. She looks amazing and she’s happy with her new owner. Fairplay to you for persevering with her and never giving up on her. I love her tongue we have a cat. His name is buddy he’s had all his teeth taken out because he’s an old boy and he looks just like her. He sits there with his tongue hanging out. He’s so funny but enough of buddy thank you for what you do and your husband you are truly amazing people, thank you for what you do and keep it up and then they were be Plenty of other dog is finding their new homes because of you.

Just needs a trim. Apparently they grow really fast so need regular trim. Im about to do my own dog right now. I've never done it before but I've been told it doesn't hurt them and just to use a sharp scissor.

NO!!! DO NOT cut your dog’s tongue or any other body part. It will cause terrible pain and possibly bleeding to death. Please tell me this post is a joke.

[@DavidAndTheDog]

⁠@@alexsetterington3142wtf! I hope you were joking, because if not, you’re going to injure your dog and possibly encourage others to do the same. NEVER try ‘trimming’ your dog’s tongue, it will cause immense pain and bleeding.

It’s great that she talked about how hard it can be in the beginning. I’ve fostered and rescued, and the first few days of fostering can be so challenging, but it’s so rewarding when you start to see their real personalities come out and their stress subside ❤❤❤ so I hope someone sees this who’s questioning their decision and it encourages them not to give up.
