August 2018 – Piney Mountain Foster Care

Beckett is a timid hound we pulled from Newport Animal Control. He’s been there since April. He was quite frightened by everything. Lee, a member of the N.A.C. staff worked diligently with Beckett to help him get over his fears. I will build upon Lee’s work and get Beckett trained and ready to be adopted.

Known Issues & Progress

Other than never having been trained in good behavior, Beckett doesn’t seem to have any major issues. He’s timid around strangers, but open and loving (even devoted) when he gets to know you just a little. I’m working on that training and socialization. Commands he knows:

Come

Known Issues & Progress

While Mya was staying with another foster family, one of their dogs started attacking Mya. To avoid injury and inciting similar behavior in her, she was moved here. My job is to be sure she hasn’t been traumatized and keep her safe until transport.

Mya is a cattle dog, so she jumps and nips. I will work at teaching her to restrain these impulses. Her former foster family included at least one child: a boy 8-10 years old, who obviously adored Mya.

Commands she knows:

Come
