Resilience: A Testament to Strength and Recovery

Resilience is defined as the ability to endure challenges, adversity and recover from setbacks.

I am continually impressed by the unwavering resilience and affection displayed by dogs. Take Gunner, for instance—a young dog with a difficult start. He was discovered in a state of neglect and malnutrition, but fortunately, he found refuge at Old MacDonald Kennels/Animal Control/Shelter. Here, he received the care he desperately needed, gradually gaining weight and strength. After over a year in their care, he remains patiently hopeful for his first loving home.

Having spent a couple weeks with Gunner, I was baffled by the fact that he has not yet been adopted. With the right clarity, guidance, and direction, he has thrived in our environment, winning the hearts of everyone who has met him.

Throughout his stay, we provided numerous positive experiences aimed at building his confidence. He embraced every opportunity with remarkable ease, demonstrating remarkable growth. We are incredibly proud of him and can’t wait for him to find his happily ever after!❤️
