Searching for a Home

Today we took Margarita to her first adoption event as our foster. She was nervous when we first got into the car, but I gently lifted her into the backseat. She made a bed out of Will's hoodie and started to smile as she looked out the window. Every once in a while she would pop her head between the two front seats and  touch my arm with her nose.

When we arrived at the adoption event Margarita was not super happy. Adoption events are terrifying for shy dogs. For most of the event she cautiously observed the chaos from a safe spot behind us with her little tongue sticking out, but once we brought out some treats she started to get interested in the people around her. She is still shy with my boyfriend, but he offered her some bacon and cheese buddy biscuits and he was suddenly the coolest person there.

By the end of the event she was walking around and taking treats from all. I expect she will keep getting better as she gets more comfortable.
