Blackie’s Story
Blackie was asked about his experience with an adopter who returned him.
Dog Operations Manager’s Survey 1 Response
“The communicator did a great job in giving me a good sense of Blackie’s personality and needs and the session provided great insights that we can use in looking for a potential foster or adoption placement for Blackie.”
Dog Operations Manager’s Survey 2 Response
“Approximately 1 week after the communication session, Blackie went into a foster to adopt situation. This is what was brought up in the communication session with him as an ideal scenario for him. They didn’t intentionally come to our organization that day to meet Blackie. They came to meet another dog. But Blackie won them over and I feel there is a strong correlation from Blackie being heard in the communication session and this foster to adopt situation happening for him. Also in the week that we had him still with us after the communication session, he seemed calmer, happier, and was more willing to go on walks than he previously had been. Those were all very positive changes for him.”
Dog Operations Manager’s Email after a Follow Up Communication Session
When Blackie had to go back to the sanctuary for medical treatment, he was asked how he was feeling physically and whether he would like to go back to the foster. The results of that session were extremely helpful for guiding Blackie’s treatment and also conversations with his foster family because we know that his wish was to return there so we continued to pursue that for him. Also I believe it was very helpful for Blackie to hear about the care we were giving him so that he could return to this foster family and through that supported him in his recovery.” Blackie returned to the foster.
