Whiskey

My story

We show our dogs by appointment only. If you are interested in adopting Whiskey, please fill out our online application at kcpaws.org. She must go to a home with at least one other dog. Rosie Fund is providing Whiskey's adopters with a $100 Rosie Life Starter Kit. PLUS Bigfoot Pet Photography has added a $350 photo artwork voucher! Visit rosiefund.org to see additional videos of Whiskey. Whiskey lived on a rural farm in Oklahoma as a completely feral dog. When she arrived she had no idea what it meant to be touched by a human. She had never been on a leash, never even eaten from a bowl. She was terrified of everything around her and did not know what it meant to trust anyone. For weeks, our staff would sit in her run just to get her used to human company, she was to scared to take treats from us and would wait to eat until the night time when everyone was gone. We slowly began to introduce her to other dogs, which really helped her start to come out of her shell just enough to go outside and back in on her own. Whiskey's rehabilitation has been 4 years in the making. Whiskey is now in a wonderful foster home and has made a lot of improvement and is beginning to trust people. Her foster mom has been working on getting her used to leashes, and she now goes for walks EVERY NIGHT! This is a huge improvement, and we are so proud of her. Whiskey has another dog in her foster home and they get along great! She has learned to play and really enjoys the company of her foster sister. We are requiring that she go to a home with another dog since she is much more comfortable with other canines around to show her everything is okay. She often likes to spend time just laying in her bed. She is a den dog who likes to have a safe space. Whiskey is food motivated and will warm up to new things with the help of her favorite treats. She squeals with joy at new foods, and especially loves a little bit of ice cream. Overall, Whiskey has had a long journey to learning how to be a house pet, and she is still learning everyday. She is a quiet, shy girl who has never barked or growled in almost three years in her foster home. We're hoping to find Whiskey a family that will give her lots of time, love, and TLC.
