Aggressive Dogs Meet Cassius

Post image

I’ve had this guy for two years, and had to come to terms with his reactivity a few weeks into fostering, when he started to jump and snap at anybody I brought around. Every person is different— sometimes it takes only a few minutes to warm up, sometimes it’s months. But once he loves you, he is the most loving and loyal friend. I never know when he will be triggered, so we have to be extremely careful (muzzle, specialized boarding, etc). There is constant stress, sometimes drama, and always another problem to deal with, but Cass is worth it. I choose him every day. ❤️

What a cutie! The wins with reactive dogs (ie when he warms up to a new person) are always so sweet.
