List of things Pudge loves, German commands she knows, and other notes about her personality

Pretty darn impressive, eh? Who wouldn't want a bilingual dog?

Pudge (AKA Chief) is a high energy, loyal, well trained, attentive, and highly intelligent dog. She is probably smarter than you which is why she suffers from severe anxiety.

Can't blame her, She moved to Minnesota from North Carolina (in April), had a short stay at a rescue, found a home, destroyed that home (the joys of separation anxiety), and had a few more short stays at a whole new rescue, RRAR. Her stay here as been interrupted by brief stays in 3 different homes. She's been through all this in a little over a year.

Pudge has been returned to us 3 times now. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal. We'd take it as a learning experience and use any new information to help find her the best home we can.

Pudge does not do the whole shelter thing well. In fact, she really, really sucks at it. During her past few stays, she barked non-stop, she banged her water dish against her kennel wall all day (we even tried buying her a big no-drip hanging water bottle). She did some damage to her kennel fencing, the kennel walls, the drywall, and her teeth.

This time she has ripped her brand new kennel gate right off the wall, she has been chewing on the metal trim or flashing in her kennel, she still barks, she still bangs, and she has completely destroyed her mouth and teeth. She can not handle the boredom and frustration of being in a kennel for long periods of time.

We have tried basically every Shepherd rescue in the state, nobody has the resources or capacity to deal with her destructiveness. We were advised to get her into an in-kennel training program.

We called R&R Profesional Dog Training. A 4-week in-kennel training program runs about $1900! Donations have slowed down so much, we couldn't afford that. However, with the shelter/rescue discount and YOUR HELP, we can give Pudge what she needs!

Initially, she wasn't able to get in until August 15th, but once R&R heard how much she is suffering here...they came up with a plan and a way for her to start the program on Monday, July 18th!!

We are asking, begging really, for you to be a part of Operation Pudge..Until She Has A Home. Every donation helps, no matter the size.

**If we exceed our goal, we will use the extra funds to get another one of our anxious, long term dogs the help they need too**

Thank you for doing what you can to give Pudge a shot at a happier life!
