A dog and her puppy were living in foster care, awaiting their opportunity to be adopted. Finally, the local shelter felt they were ready for their chance at a family so they called the foster parents and had the dogs brought to the facility. Before putting the dogs up for adoption, they put them through serious health tests, including X-rays.

The mom had some health problems and had been shot during her life outdoors. Because of this, she was very timid and afraid of the outdoors, which does not come as a shock. The shelter team took time with the dog to help her warm up to people and the idea of the outdoors.
