Marishka's Journey to a Furever Home

Now that I have Marishka it is very apparent that she is super young, (apx 6 months - 1 yr old -favoring the younger end), hasn't been handled/socialized with humans or other animals and according to the people who live along the hwy where we was dumped had been out there for apx. 1 month before I started trying to catch her.

 The first night at my house she stayed in the guest room by herself.  

She was very scared but calm. 

She greeted Bello when he went to check on her and appeared to have no fear of him. 

The 1st morning we discovered she had NO desire to go outside. I'd pick her up and carry  her out the back door only for her to do her business....

and want to go right back inside. 

However, in attempts to socialize her and get her use to being around humans we kept her with us during the day in my office

in the living areas of the house (we discovered she wasn't moving around the house much because she was unsure of walking on the floors)

Bello even tried to share his stuffed bunny with Marishka

After a few days she began moving around the yard more

and making use of the items in the yard 

and exploring with Bello 

moving to the different sections of the yard

and soon she was feeling more comfortable moving about on her own

making use of the doggie door to go in and out 

and feeling more confident in her explorations 

Soon she even began to try and peak at us on the bed

and even has enjoyed her first ever frozen yogurt!

As you can see she is getting more confident and laying in the middle of the yard instead of trying to hide

She has gotten more comfortable walking on the hardwood floors

and is comfortable enough to finally sleep in a relaxed position in the living room

and for all her hard work over the last 2 weeks she received her first raw bone yesterday!
