Angela hadn’t realized Griff was going to be such a complicated dog to foster when she rescued him. But on the first day, she realized she was dealing with a dog with more than a severe skin infection.
Griff had a “broken spirit” and behavioral problems that made him more like a wild animal than a dog. He was rescued from a hoarding situation and was terrified when he came to his foster home.
Angela says the first few days were very stressful on both of them. But slowly but surely Griff came out of his shell and began to trust his foster mom.
