Even though it is true that dogs are happy and energetic animals, some of them are also quite shy and quiet.
This can be because of a number of reasons. They may either have a shy personality or could have gone through a traumatic event, causing them to be wary of every person they encounter.
Espy was a pup that went through exactly that. But after meeting a loving family, she was able to show off her true personality.
You Are Going Home
Before living at an Austin Animal Center, Espy was a victim of a hoarding situation which she, like any other dog, couldn’t handle. She needed her own people as well as her own space where she could be free.
Luckily, she received all of this when she was picked up by Morgen and Allan, her new family. Even though they weren’t in a situation where they could get another pup, considering they were living with Morgen’s family and already had four pups, they simply couldn’t part ways with her.
At first, Allan tried his best to not get attached to Espy, but she was so sweet that he couldn’t help it.
“There was something about seeing Espy that I knew that she needed to be mine. Our bond with Espy formed very quickly. We used to go hiking at different outdoor parks and we’d always play with her frisbee out in the backyard,” Morgen told Cuddle Buddies.
It took this sweet pup three years to fully come out of her shell, but when she did, she was unstoppable!
The Best Girl Around
Ever since she left the Austin shelter, Espy became the clingiest pup. Whenever she sees her mom come home from work, she makes sure to give her the best greeting ever. From running towards her to jumping at her feet, Morgen always knows just how much she was missed.
As soon as she sees her sit on the couch, she rolls over and flaps on her back, demanding belly rubs.
Something that Espy can never get enough of is her furry siblings. Having even the shortest playdates with them always puts her in the best mood ever. And who can blame her!
“You could tell she actually taught some of them how to play. For the foster dogs that my mom brought into the house, I think she was more of like a sister where she can be annoying but also can be like ‘I can teach you things as well,” she added.
Such an incredible transformation can melt even the coldest heart. Going from a timid and shy pup to a girl who would do anything to make you smile is the best possible outcome.
A big thank you to this incredible couple who refused to give up on this cute girl.
Thanks to you, she is now living the life she always deserved. I wish you and your family the best of luck!
