Feather: Feral to Foster

In early March 2012, RLRR got a call that there was a very starving, mangey stray dog in a yard in Little Rock. Thankfully she was starving or she would never have been caught as she was a very frightened feral.

She became a resident in a kennel at Red Lake Rosie's Rescuse, but it looked like there was very little hope for this girl which we named Feather.

Thanks to a very compassionate person named John, who traveled all the way from the metro to help get her crated and take on the challenge to help Feather overcome her medical issues of demodex mange and her emotional problems which were even more severe.

The photos show Feather's progress over a period of eight months in John's care. She is mange free and is making little steps toward trust.

Because Feather is very social with the other animals, John used this as a bridge to develop trust with her.

I'll share more of Feather's story tomorrow.
