Yes, see below Background: Thank goodness, CDR rescued me from a high-kill shelter in KY, where I was turned in with 5 other dogs when our owners couldn’t take care of us or didn’t want us anymore.   The staff at the shelter liked me so much because I was so sweet and adorable, but their hearts also broke for me because I was so scared.  Whatever my circumstances were before coming to the shelter, it was clear to everyone that I had not had the luck of kind and loving relationships with people.  I seemed to expect bad or scary things to happen whenever someone came near, and I would freeze…
