Hi, everyone
I hope you are all doing well
I know it's been a long time since I posted something
Life doesn't go always as we wish
Today I share with you a bit of my story, a few pictures from some of the dogs I came across, some for therapy, some for basic obedience, and some for staying over, and I ask you for some very needed help
This journey started 14 years ago, by that time I knew nothing about dogs, besides that I love them, and today I probably know a little bit less, except that, for some reason, they love me too
I remember exactly the 1st dog I bonded too, I was 2 years old, I remember the 1st dog I took home from the street, when I was 11, and a lot of dogs that I grew up around
For some reason I was never allowed by my parents to have a dog, but destiny is written in the stars
Through out my 48 years I can acknowledge that I let some people down, the same way I know that some people let me down too, I believe it's all part of the process, I can only say sorry for disappointing you
At a certain point in my life I got into a dark pit, from which I couldn't find the way out, I spent 1 year in almost complete isolation, feeling completely lost in this world
Then a miracle happened, I came across a street dog that was in very bad condition due to leishmaniose, I took him home, and from that day on I started regaining, little by little, the joy for life
In 3 months I had already 3 dogs, 2 of them have crossed the rainbow already, and for some reason people started to ask me for help with their own dogs
Gradually I started learning more, and more, about dogs, specially the ones with serious behavioural issues, and one day I realised that helping dogs, and owners, was a part of my path
I can't tell you exactly how many dogs I have came across since I started working with them, but for sure over a thousand
All sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, dogs with deep trauma, a lot of them highly reactives, some with serious aggressiveness
I can't say I was 100% efective with all of them, but with a vast majority I was able to improve the relationship between dogs and owners, helping both finding the balance that was missing
It wasn't always easy though, lots of times I didn't have a roof over my head, nevertheless I kept doing my work, like now when I write you these words, but my dogs were always properly looked after according to my scarce possibilities
I believe that if I would have other conditions ,probably I could have helped even more dogs, and owners, but for some reason it didn't happen yet
I don't work for the money, I AM far from being materialistic, I don't have a bank account for almost the last 18 years, but I know that I need money to look after myself, and my dogs, which isn't easy sometimes, specially at the present moment
At the moment I AM looking for a place to live, a place that I can afford, and that has the conditions I find suitable for having my dogs and to continue developing my work, I know it will come at some point, just don't know when
Aswell I AM looking forward to rehome some of the dogs I have under my care, and responsibility, I have 7 of them, I feel they deserve the attention I can't provide them, besides that it makes it much harder to find a place to live
If somehow you are willing to help, or you do know someone that might be willing to help, you can send me a private message, if not I kindly ask you to share this post with your contacts, and in your groups
I know from the bottom of my heart that this situation will change, because at the present moment is getting pretty unbearable
I came to a point that I can't really do my work, my car has no inspection, and I can't afford to pay for the repairements they need, and I don't have a house to live in, and where I could look after your dogs
I know this isn't the end of the story, but at times it really feels like it
I hope you enjoy the pictures I share with you, some of them from your own dogs, there are a lot of dogs missing in this post though
Thank you for being there throughout this journey, some of you already helped me a lot, without you all, nothing of this would have been possible
Kind regards,
Rodolfo
