“After bringing our family dog home from a shelter just over three years ago, I have seen with my own eyes the change he went through. Shy and fearful at first, he is now… still shy; but far less fearful. Over time, he started to show off his personality more and more, and figure out what to do with these unflavorful knick knacks I give him—it’s safe to assume that he hadn’t had that many toys in his life before the shelter or before the forever home. Needless to say, the situation is much different now.”
