    My Foster Dog Had Never Been Indoors Before. This Is Her First Nap, On A Bed, In A Home

    Sleeping dog curled up on a bed with soft blankets, a wholesome moment to lift your mood and brighten the day

    Sundae was taken from a dog hoarding situation — one man had 16 dogs (and a deceased dog’s body) in his backyard. The dogs had access only to a junk-filled backyard and a garage for shelter. We’ve had her for about a week and you would never know that she’s never been an indoor dog before. She’s totally potty trained, incredibly gentle and she’s very polite indoors. She loves to sleep as close as possible to me in bed — I think she’s just making up for 8ish years of zero affection.
