Life is getting very busy at our house and that includes having little Evo hanging out with us until Friday. Evo has been in foster care with New Rattitude for about 5 weeks and he's made huge strides thanks to his foster family. When Evo started in foster care he was a frightened little boy who had clearly spent very little time (if any) in a house. He seemed to have never experienced all the great things that come with having a loving family around. I'm guessing given his presentation he didn't "show well" at the shelter - this is very common with rat terriers. It's likely he was passed over by prospective adopters and he quickly became urgent due to shelter space. Lucky for Evo, his foster parents had an opening to rescue him.
I met Evo after he'd been in foster care for a couple of days and he was very worried. While he did come up to me he pancaked down, his back was roached (out of fear) and I never saw his tail. He would anxiously chew on a bully stick but, any type of play was not on his radar.
His foster family did wonderful work with him and look how far this sweet little fella has come. Below is his first day at my house and you can see we have a very different boy. Kudos to his foster family who are very busy with two young active kids and they adjusted their life to help Evo (and other foster dogs - Evo is their 5th foster) begin to learn how to love, trust and have fun.
