@simonsits: An unfortunate update 💔 I am so sorry to the dog involved and the owners. We will be getting Whimsy into training ASAP and taking this very seriously @Muddy Paws Rescue
Give yourself grace. Give Whimsy grace, too. You’re all going through a lot.

Whimsy is not a bad dog. She has been abused by humans and obviously been attacked by dogs.

Isabel Klee :
To be clear: this is NOT a blame game and I don’t need anyone to defend me. The other owners were completely justified in being upset and shaken up. It was a terrible situation that we will hopefully get through with honesty and compassion ❤

Please don’t stop her walks. Get a muzzle and start training. It’ll work out!

that uninvolved man who yelled at you was SO out of line.

You’ve not failed her. She’s a puzzle and you’re still putting her together piece by piece until you can see the whole picture. Sending both you and Whimsy hugs xxx

nah I understand the owners were upset and acted emotionally but it's not okay that random people in the street felt the need to scream at you too!

As an owner of a reactive dog, I get your emotions. Please don’t feel like you failed. She is also processing a lot at the moment too.

Whimsy’s abuse does explain her behaviour. She’s carrying trauma and needs grace. Poor darling.

You can tell by how upset you are that you care so much Isabel 🤍

The other dog’s owners were justified in feeling upset and shaken up but screaming at someone in the street and saying their emaciated dog shouldn’t be outside is unhinged behaviour

She’s fine with Simon you would have no way to know this was possible. Something must have triggered her. 😭😭😭💔

As a reactive owner, you are working with the information you have. We can’t always help their triggers if we don’t know what they are. You have more information now to help her. Give yourself some grace

Upset, yes. But screaming at you is unacceptable behavior.

ugh I understand the owners reaction. But the ppl on the streets? You can SEE whimsy is a rescue. You can see her abuse on her body. This wasn’t your fault, Isabel. This isn’t whimsy’s fault either. I’m so sorry that this happened and the reactions of everyone around you.

AND as awful as this is, it’s better for it to happen now than when she’s in her forever home, as Isabel is such an experienced foster & the connections/resources she and Muddy Paws have. I’m confident Whimsy can work through this❤

You couldn’t have known. Behavioral stuff can come out once basic needs start being met, and pain/medical issues could be part of it as well. Either way, take care of yourself, friend. 💕

i would pay attention to what type of dog it was. since she hasn't had a reaction with any other dogs then it could have been trauma from a specific interaction with a dog in the past, and maybe that dog was the trigger

I have mixed feelings on this and may tick off some people. On one hand, dog behavior is never completely predictable even if raised with kind guidance and things can happen. On the other hand, you have a dog that you know very little about yet are walking her out and around people and dogs who are not aware of or invested in her rescue.

Allison :
This is a real side of fostering though, so many people need to see. I love the content you put out and how many people have signed up to foster because of YOU, but there is a painful/stressful side to it as well. I am so so sorry this happened for everyone involved.
