Maybe he needed a cask of brandy!!!!! You know, just to make him feel at home.
We have 3 that were rescues. It took a long time for the second guy to trust us, and he'll still have the occasional flashback. He was an owner surrender to the Humane Society, and they called us. He wouldn't stay in the people's 4 ft fence. Duh. So they tied him. They did this with one of those big spike collars turned inward. When we got him, he had big scars on his neck, some still not healed yet. He was so matted up, he had to be completely shaved down.
It took him awhile to realize we weren't going to hurt him. We had to increase the height of all our fencing to 6 ft. He would either jump clean over, or scramble up it, when we let him out. Scared me to death. I spent some nights combing the woods with a flashlight.
Four years later, and he's such a love. Lost all interest in escape.
Our other 2, one's owner had died, and the last one, the people were moving to Florida and didn't want to take her.
Yes--its worth it!
