Wiley had been living in a small, cold kennel at a humane society for four, yes four, years. Rescued Tails was contacted by the humane society and asked if we could help Wiley because he, “just wasn’t doing well”. When we met Wiley his tail was tucked, and his entire body sunk to the ground when anyone approached him. It looked like his spirit had been broken. We immediately took him into our program and into one of our wonderful foster homes. We were amazed at how quickly he came around. Each day he became more comfortable with his new surroundings. He had other dogs to play with and cats to chase. And best of all he had the comforts of human contact both day and night. Wiley was doing so well in his foster home, but we were concerned because he was still so shy with new people and situations - how would he ever find his forever home? Well, in the summer of 2007 we were contacted by a woman whose son had seen Wiley’s picture on our web site. The family of five was in the process of moving and wanted to wait until they got settled in their new home before adopting a dog. We really did not think they would call back – but they did! And in the fall of 2007 the Kukert family came to meet Wiley. When Wiley saw the new family he was very, very shy and did not warm up to anyone – we were convinced the Kukerts would never call after seeing Wiley’s initial behavior. But once again we were happily surprised – the Kukert family got all moved into their new home and called us and asked when they could adopt Wiley! That holiday season was truly very special for Wiley and his new forever family – A big thank you to the Kukert Family!!
