5/4/11: Candy is doing fantastic in her foster home! Her foster mom asked me to update her bio...here's the update (& I included an updated picture (picture taken by her awesome foster mom) You can hardly see the scar above her eye & she looks so calm & happy!!):
I've heard that a fairy tale goes something like this...an adorable youngster has a rough start in life (that's ME, Candy!); some fantastic force or being (that's YOU!) goes above-&-beyond to intervene; finally, there is a happy ending (that's US!) Fabulous! I'm excited to see how my fairy tale unfolds.
I'm Candy, a 28-lb labrador-mix who was born around August 2010. No one at MaxFund is exactly sure what my first few months involved but we can tell you that I was brought to a shelter with some sort of trauma above my right eye. It doesn't look like I was hit by a car or anything as there were no other apparent injuries. Many nice folks treated my head wound and I'm good-as-new physically. However, it seems that some people were pretty mean too me (that's my "rough start" I was referring to).
I was pretty darn fearful when I first arrived at MaxFund, but I've been in a fantastic foster home where I'm learning how fun life can be! I get along great with my canine companions in my foster family. Playing rough with the bigger dog is a blast - although I'm much more reserved around my calmer Chihuahua pal. Hanging with confident playmates (both human & canine) is helping me learn to be less fearful & I look forward to this continuing with my Forever Family! My foster mom describes me as quiet (I rarely bark) & 100% housetrained! In fact, when I gotta "go", I will stand at the door & let out a little whine to request a potty break. As if that's not enough, I'm also crate trained!
Are you the fantastic being with whom I can share my fairy tale ending? If so, please come visit me soon!
3/30/11: Candy went to foster :)
Candy is so fearful. She was, clearly, abused and was brought to another shelter with some sort of trauma above her right eye - you can see the scar in the picture. The outside shelter transferred her to MF and her wound has now healed (with some medical treatment). It's now time to work on some emotional healing for this lil' girl...

However, it seems that some people were pretty mean too me (that's my "rough start" I was referring to) as I can still be rather fearful. Even with all I've been through, I have never shown one iota of aggression toward humans or any creatures.
The friendly people at MaxFund are helping me learn that most people are friendly. I'm even starting to enjoy this whole "petting" thing. I'm a very good girl on a leash (no pulling at all) and I seem to prefer to potty outside of my kennel.
As such a sweet lil' gal, I have tons of potential. There are specific techniques that can help me learn to trust & enjoy life; the MaxFund folks can help us with these. I'll need a human with the time, motivation and patience to help me adapt to this big, beautiful world of ours!
