http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Dogmomma/24222 Meet &quot;Laska&quot;, so named by her first rescuer, caring neighbor Chris in Golden Hills. Chris is Ukranian and she named the dog Laska, which means &quot;by God's Grace&quot;, a very appropriate name for this little orphan girl. My husband picked up Laska's old &quot;doghouse&quot; form the abandoned house and she spent at least part of the night inside the nose cone, as the blankets were wet. from her&nbsp;We ended up getting mostly rain instead of snow and it wasn't too cold. She simply refuses to go into the other dry doghouses there. She was smart enough to use her teeth to pull the blankets out the door of the large doghouse-because the food bowl was in the back corner!! Smart girl. I did get a look at her teeth this morning and she appears to be quite young, about 6-9 months old. Why anyone would get a possibly purebred puppy and then stick her in a back yard to terrorize is beyond comprehension. She is still terrified of other dogs so it will be some time before she can be moved over to the yard with the regular pack. She will be here for quite some time. If anyone knows any rehabilitation rescues, please feel free to call me or email. I'm really not qualified to work with dogs that are this scared. She is going to take a lot of patient rehabilitation and I need to continue my mutt rescue work with the pack of 10 that are ready for new homes already.

Leslie at Canine Canyon Ranch en-us <p>&nbsp;I got my Shepherd from a scoundrel who had starved her. She was 6 months old and so very scared and skittish. It has taken 3 years for her to finally not want to bite people. She still needs to be watched around strangers but she is sweet and loving toward me. She doesn't like men from her mistreatment but adores my hubby.</p> <p>I bet it will take a long while for her to get over the abuse. Someone with patience and time will help her mend. I wish I could take her but no-the Lab is not animal friendly and has attacked puppies so I can imagine he would attack this sweety.</p> <p>Leslie you are the best!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Dogmomma/24222/#c_220299 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Dogmomma/24222/#c_220299 <p>&nbsp;I got my Shepherd from a scoundrel who had starved her.
