AVA (Female)

My name is Ava and i still feel completely lost here at the Dog and Cat Rescue Center. My friend Da Vinci and I came to the Dog Rescue at the same time. This whole journey has been a nightmare and we're finding it really hard to get our heads around the fact that we've been stuck here for so long. We don't know why we are here, we don't know why we were put into this funny compound called Flyer Compound and we don't know what's coming next. We are sorry for being so negative but it felt good to let it out. I've been really scared from the moment I was picked up and brought to the shelter. Normally I would just sit in the very back corner of that compound and wait for someone to bring me back home. That never happened. But not long ago the Dog Rescue People moved me into another, a much bigger compound. I didn't fight back because I was hoping they would just put me in the car and drive me home. Instead I was just moved into another compound but still in this scary shelter place. I can't let go, I can't relax and I don't want to be happy here. I'm grateful that Da Vinci is with me and we often sit at the door and wait for the long term volunteers. They are pretty cool and I'm starting to open up just a little bit. As long as they wait they on the other side of the door, I let them touch me through the bars and I get to smell their dirty hands. I guess that's some sort of progress. While I'm telling you all this I'm starting to realize that maybe, just maybe, I can change that misery inside myself with a change of attitude. I will try. And with a bit of luck one of you even decides to sponsor me.

Michaela from Germany wants to look after me in the future. Thank you very much!
