REKarlin was found outside on one of the coldest days in January, surviving on her own. No one knows how long she had been out there or what she had to do to make it through those nights, but she did.
And ever since she has waited. But it’s not because no one has asked to meet her, everyone always asks because she’s so cute, but when they do, Karlin hides. She presses herself into the corner and stays there, too scared to come forward, too unsure of what’s about to happen. Just waiting for them to give up…
And they do…
Every single time
Since January.
So today I waited it out.
I sat with her.
I was a calm presence in the scariest place she’s ever been
I told her I wasn’t giving up
And once she realized,
The most incredible thing happened that I’ll never forget.
She said thank you.
Karlin is so scared,
But I know she is one that once she trusts that you won’t hurt her,
She will never leave you,
She will be your shadow,
She will be your soul dog.
Please foster or adopt Karlin
