I volunteer as a foster for Fluffy Dog Rescue and WI Westie Rescue. I live in a quirky old house, with my family, that we fondly call "The Plantation". It is here that we "fall in love" with every dog we foster! The purpose of this blog is to provide additional photos, descriptions and videos so you can learn more about our fluffy foster and follow his or her journey until a fur-ever home is found. You may even "fall in love" just like we have!!! Thanks for looking and for choosing RESCUE!

Day 2 Walking Video
Day 2... she eats!
What’s for breakfast?
Last night around 2:30 am little Missy Reba got lonely in her bed in the kitchen and found her voice and started to whine. So I got up and took her outside thinking maybe now she will go potty. (Btw, nothing like long wet grass against your ankles to make you think... whyyyyyy. Ha!) Still no potty! So we went to bed. I carried her upstairs and she snuggled into the crook of my arm, head on my shoulder till morning. We both were tired!!!
Bright and early we woke up and took a slow stroll around the block. She follows behind me like Mary’s little lamb. Still no potty success. Sigh!
We came back in and I mixed some canned food into her kibble and she ate the canned but left the dry. Is that like only eating the frosting??? At least she ate something! Yay! Every day a little progress! #foodsuccess
Later on...
On a walk!
Miss Reba peeking from behind me.
Watching TV with me!
That. Face.
LOVE!

Day One
The little Red head had a quiet night. In fact she does not make a sound! Awwwwe!
I decided to take away Reba’s crate because she would stay inside and not come out. I didn’t like pulling her out and reaching in because it seemed scary to her. She has a puppy pen and a cozy dog bed as her safe place in the kitchen. The door is open so she can come out whenever she wants to.
So far she has not eaten her dog food but did drink some water. She also did eat a little sausage. No potties yet and we keep trying outside.
Since she is scared she runs to corners and darts around in the house but that will get better. She mostly just sits in her bed watching. If you are looking for a dog who will transform before your eyes this girl will be for you. I adore dogs like her. They just need patience, time and lots of love! A dog friend is always nice too as long as the resident dog is calm and would be a good mentor. :)
One of our potty outings... Reba jumps into the garden box. Mudddy paws. Nice.
This girl loves a great couch nap! So cute! Nighty night, Reba! #endofdayzzzzs

Reba, the little Red Furred Girl
This little dog pictured here sitting on a couch with her chin resting on a pillow may look like any dog in many a photo but it’s NOT the case. Reba has waited a very long time to enjoy this pillow!
Her story: A couple who lived in the woods of Alabama had kind hearts for the many stray, lost, sick or abandoned dogs that wandered onto their property. So they did what they thought best. They spayed the females and gave Rabies shots to them all but then chained them up to make-shift dog shelters around the yard and that’s where they stayed put. I don’t know how long Reba was on a chain. (We do not like this practice of chaining dogs of course but this is what the couple did to ‘help’) The man sadly got sick and died very suddenly. The wife lost her home and property and the dogs were left chained up with a person coming once a day to give food and water. That’s when the rescue truly started!
A wonderful man named Sid and his wife were called and they organized the rescue. Fluffy Dog got Johnson, Tammy and my foster Reba and the other dogs went to other rescues. So Reba is now up north in WI. She has had her life, as she knew it, changed from living outside to sitting next to me on the couch. Her little head on that pillow must be spinning! We are so happy she is here :).
Please enjoy a few more photos and follow Reba’s journey as she learns to live in a house. She will be here with me until she finds her family! I just love this cutie! She is so gentle and sweet πΈ!
