You can tell he knows he is now with people who care about him.<br />My dog was deaf for the last couple of years of his life and it made him have terrible separation anxiety...he went from being a a dog who was fine when he was left alone, even when I was working 8 hrs., to a dog who would bark and constantly look out the front window for me when I went to the store for 15 minutes (lucky for him I wasn't working then). I think it throws some dogs off balance because they don't have that sense anymore (my dog knew he couldn't just relax on the couch and he would hear me coming in so he constantly had to be alert at the window to make sure I came back)...and this is a dog who was well loved and secure in every other way. That's why my heart broke for Nico. Abused, broken down already and deaf on top of that...can you imagine being thrown into some hell-hole jail and you can't even hear what's going on around you? He must have been terrified.<br />I know I was like Anon.#1 who didn't even want to look at the blog but I'm glad I did...he looks so much better (and happier) in his "after" pictures...like he knows life will be better from now on.<br />My thanks too, to everyone out there who rescues dogs like this...I don't know if I could do it - I'd probably end up as a puddle on the floor every day - but it's what I aspire to do someday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492255858171331632.post-42029061453627702132010-02-20T19:06:49.503-05:002010-02-20T19:06:49.503-05:00Haven`t read the blog yet.

Huge compliments to everyone who made that happen.<br /><br />I think social media can only help, anything that gets more people involved and gets more people viewing the animals can only improve their chances - that's why we started the TAS Facebook page (86 fans now!). Social media, good attractive photos, an easy-to-navigate website...in the new tech-y world, these are things that any good shelter needs because they can be huge assets when it comes to 'wooing' potential adopters.Laura HPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11505496350345916564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492255858171331632.post-88736504729358019822010-02-20T01:28:39.010-05:002010-02-20T01:28:39.010-05:00Thank G-d for Nikki Audet.
