More: Pia was 4 when she was given to me. Her former mother was elderly and had passed away. Pia only used training pads. was never taken outside, A whole new world awaited her. The potty transition was quite easy. Seeing, hearing and smelling new things was a new experience for her. Blowing leaves, passing cars and planes scared her. Walking on a leash was a challenge but by using a harness we were able to master that skill. Pia has developed into an active full of life little girl. She has gone from hiding under our bed to becoming a happy spunky playful ball of fur. We love her and she loves us unconditionally in return.
