Well, we went and did it again! We lost one of our pups unexpectedly. It was tragic and we are very very heartbroken. We have however decided it made way and space to help save another soul. Meet Rose! This little pumpkin came to us from a local rescue Two by Two. She was discovered as a bait dog in a local fighting ring. Absolutely deplorable! Unspeakable acts have been done to this sweetheart of a dog. She is very very timid. She is missing part of her tongue, has several scars on her body, but otherwise is in pretty good shape. However, how to integrate? She is scared to death; she shakes at all noises. Time. A general rule of thumb is 3 days, 3 months, 3 years...time frame for the household to get used to the new pup and vice versa. With little Rose, we think it may take a bit more time for her to get used to us. We do keep her comfortable in a crate. The door is open so she can make her own choice whether she wants out or not. She feels comfortable there because her shaking stops. She chooses to eat in her crate as well. We have high hopes she soon feels comfortable to at least integrate with some of our calmer pups. Our plan is to allow her TIME. Whatever she needs until she feels safe enough to exist in our home.

We like this one because it has three latches to reinforce the door. We have a few escape artists, and this crate works great and doesn't break the bank!
