In helping these animals, I think patience and love make a great difference. Show them you care about them (they can feel it)and gradually they will learn to trust you. Though tough, it’s the most rewarding job that one could ever have. Seeing them recovering from their ordeal and becoming happy once again give the care-giver a great sense of satisfaction.

You just keep getting better, and this is a tremendous post – thanks for reminding folks what is possible. I would suspect that many have no idea.

Great article Jaime! I strongly believe there needs to be more info/tools for those who rescue animals. Too many people have the misconception their rescued pet is going to be happy right away in their new home. Like your article states, building trust is extremely important! I know it took some time to build trust with my rescued pup! Now she is perfect. I love all you do for the animal world!

I rescued an abused and neglected cat about two years ago and it took him a good two months to acclimate and adjust. This is some good info though for people who are just starting out in rescuing animals or considering taking in an abused animal. It takes a lot of work and a lot of patience.

And to your interviewees, Marie and Lissa, I commend them on being so dedicated to their causes and being so highly respected in this difficult field.

GREAT article, I will be forwarding this link around to some rescue friends for sure.

This is a very well written and informative article, one of the best Ive read today from Petside. So many people these days are taking in abused pets and rescue pets that its important for them to know what they are getting into. Thank you for posting this very appropriate piece.
