The first night I had them home, they did nothing but play all night long (literally). Cara is now very protective of Sammy and they both take care of each other.

When Cara first came home she was very shy around everyone, and scared of all the noises. Since then with lots of encouragement she has started to come out of her shell. She is going up to strangers more and not scared of all the noises that she hears around the apartment. She loves taking our long walk, and she has completely learned the route! Cara is getting better around men, and accepts them quickly once she sees that mom and dad accept them. With all that she has been through she is doing amazingly well. We are so happy to have her as a part of our family.

I would like to thank her Foster Mom Pam Stephens for taking such good care of her until she was able to find her forever home!
