One of the best things at the PAC is watching PACmembers come out of their shells, shed their anxiety and develop into healthy, happy, well adjusted dogs. Here are a few examples...
Lucy the Bulldog was a rescue, and had spent her whole life in a cage. When she first came here she didn't know how to play, interact, or respond to people, in fact, she couldn't even walk up and down stairs. After taking training classes, and coming to PACtivity 3 times a week, you wouldn't even know that her life started out the way it did. She is a wonderful dog that loves to play, do obedience, and interact with the handlers...she even has the stairs mastered! Way to go Lucy, and a big pat on the back to her owners for working with her so diligently!
Another example is Otis (he's a mini Schnauzer)....when he came to us, boy was he a mess. He was a day away from being euthanized by his previous owner for being aggressive towards their three young boys. Otis had the opportunity to live here at the PAC while he went through his rehab. In a matter of weeks, Otis was one of the most loving dogs you have ever met. He never snaps or growls anymore, and loves spending his days rough housing with the other dogs and cuddling with the trainers. After Otis's rehab one of our wonderful clients adopted him, and he now gets to come to PACtivity 5 days a week with his best friend Bogey (yeah they're the bachelors). Thanks again for offering Otis a forever home!
One more example...and I think this is one of our greatest achievements yet. An owner came to us with a very serious problem. Their Great Dane, Goliath (a recent rescue), had SEVERE separation anxiety. It was so bad that they couldn't find a cage to contain him, so instead, one day tried locking him in the basement while they went to work. He ripped apart the bottom 5 stairs of their staircase, pulled the drywall off the wall, pulled up the carpet and ripped a hole in the door. They were absolutely at their wits end. So they brought Goliath to the PAC to live for two weeks for his rehab. 14 days later Goliath was completely CURED of his separation anxiety. Their veterinarian said it wouldn't last, but that was about 7 months ago, and they haven't had a single problem with Goliath since he went home. Keep us up to date on how he is doing!
