Dune was without a doubt the most difficult such case I’ve encountered to date.
He came to PMFC from the Friends Animal Shelter because he was SO wild and rambunctious no one there could do anything with him. He was not mean, but so enthusiastically playful that he scratched skin tore clothes, broke jewelry, even ripped out an earring once! And he would not be deterred. So he came to Piney Mountain.
At one point I almost gave up on him. But I relented and I’m glad I did. He went on to Eleventh Hour rescue where he became an Agility Training star and was eventually adopted.
The following articles mention Dune. All other details (of which there were many) were lost in a mishap while moving this web site.

On Monday I was greeted by the following notice on […]
