Week 11
In their last week with Chloe, her handlers are happy to report that she
continued to love meeting new people and showed the new-found confidence
that they have brought out in her personality during her time with them.
Chloe got to spend some time in the great outdoors over the past few days.
One of her handlers reports that “she loves to go outside, and is so cute
when she runs. She always looks at you to see if you are watching her, and
as soon as she knows that you are, she runs full speed back to you. I’m
really going to miss her when she leaves. She really is a great girl!”
Just two weeks ago, Chloe attended a Meet and Greet at Pet Valu at the West
Shore Plaza. A woman came in with some of her family members, and she
immediately fell in love with her. She spent a lot of time with Chloe, while
the other members of her clan shopped. Chloe seemed to sense that this might
be the Mom who would take care of her for the rest of her life because as
she was leaving, Chloe stood up and looked at her as if to say, “why aren’t
you taking me with you?” Chloe joined her new Mom, human brother and sister,
and canine sister this weekend! The HOPE volunteers who were at the event
got to experience the love-at-first-sight between Chloe and her new family,
and are thrilled for her! Her handlers did you proud, sweet girl! Enjoy your
new family!

Week 10
Chloe’s handlers say that “she is doing very well. She continued to meet
different people and the other dogs with no problems.” Chloe still won’t
play with her canine friends, however. “That’s not to say she won’t. It’s
just like she doesn’t know how. But, Chloe is getting better at trying [to
have fun with her pack mates] every day. She gets along good with Nyla and
Leah.” You’ve already mastered going from being a very shy girl around
people to being a social butterfly on the tier, Chloe. We know that you’ll
master knowing that other dogs can be your playmates as well, sweet girl!

Week 9
“Chloe has been doing very good. She continues to love meeting new people
and has been going right up to them. She sits and stands by them just
waiting to be petted. She loves attention, and is very affectionate.” Chloe
spent some time walking around with Oscar, Hope and Leah this week, and got
along with them pretty well! Good girl, Chloe!
This pup attended a Meet and Greet at the West Shore Plaza Pet Valu on
Saturday. We’re sure that her handlers were happy with the report the HOPE
volunteer gave them after the event! Although it took Chloe a little while
to get used to being out of the prison and into a pet store, she was a
sweetheart the whole time she was there. She got along with people of all
ages, and literally sat and watched to see who would come into the store to
give her the next pet. No one could resist her soulful eyes, and obliged her
with the loving she so loves and deserves. Chloe also showed a lot of
curiosity in the dogs she met at the event, and did well with them. She
especially took a shine to HOPE parolee Tyler and his canine brother Calvin.
Maybe she was trying to get some tips from Tyler on how to find a forever
home. By the end of the event, Chloe was sitting up with eyes at half-mast.
It was a big day for this sweet girl, but HOPEfully you’ll have your forever
home in the near future, Chloe!

Week 8
Chloe’s handlers are happy to say that she “is getting better and better.
She loves going up to people and meeting them. The other night, she had to
go up to everybody on the tier before coming to our cell for the night.”
Chloe has been very good about not going into “submission mode” while
receiving a pet from her fans on the block. “She walks up to them and sits
for them to pet her, or stands while they pet her.” Chloe got to spend some
time with Oscar this week, and “she did very good” with him, and wasn’t shy
about telling him when his play got a little too much for her. Her handlers
report that “she seems like she doesn’t really know how to play (with other
dogs) yet.” Since Chloe started her life in a puppy mill, that’s not
surprising. But, we know that with her handlers’ gentle guidance she’ll
learn that being a member of her pack is a good thing. You’ve come such a
long a way in your journey through the program, Chloe, and we’re proud of
you little girl!

Week 7
Chloe’s handlers report that she continued to progress this week! “She does
fine with meeting new people, and when she does, I have them go under her,
not over the top of her head. If she goes into her submit mode, I have them
stop petting her until she gets back up. It seems to be working.” Chloe
loves her time in the doggie pools in the yard! “She always comes back
tired.” As you know by reading the handlers’ journals, there is some
wildlife in the yard behind the block. Last week, Chloe was taken with a
rabbit, this week, she spotted a groundhog. “She wanted it so bad, that she
even barked at it. I’ve never seen her like that.” Of course, her handler
made sure that she didn’t get the groundhog.
Chloe attended her first meet and greet at the Adoption Day hosted by the
Tractor Supply Co. in Carlisle this past Saturday. What a good little girl
she was! True to her handlers’ words, she loved meeting all of the people
who came through the door! We also learned that Chloe is a “leaner.” The
closer she can get to you, the better in this girl’s eyes! She enjoyed
exploring the store with the HOPE volunteers, and was very good when she was
told “come, Chloe” while on-leash. Chloe’s favorite part of the day was when
a little girl had her arm around her, and our pup was leaning into her. It
was truly a Kodak moment. Chloe...we know that someone will love you
as much as we do!

Week 6
Chloe’s handlers report that her attention to her lessons is still a work in
progress. “She has days when she listens very well, and she has days when
she doesn’t listen at all.” Her cellies will continue to work with her so
that her training can progress according to plan. Chloe chased a rabbit in
the big doggie yard one evening this week. One of her handlers said that if
she “wasn’t so chubby, she would have gotten it. It was funny watching her
try. She does move pretty well for a big girl.” We’re sure with more yard
time you’ll regain your girlish figure, Chloe! In the meantime, concentrate
on your lessons so that you can find your forever home!

Week 5
Chloe’s handlers say that her training is “going pretty good so far. She has
been doing really well with her recalls and sits, but her downs and stays
are something we are still working on.” This pup is also finding her place
in the pack one dog at a time. “Chloe does well with Sky, and she even
played with him for a bit the other night. We introduced her to Buddy, and
sometimes it was good for her, and sometimes it wasn’t. But, she is coming
around to the other dogs. It will just take time.” You’ve had so many
adjustments in the last few weeks, Chloe. Keep working on your confidence,
little girl.

Week 4
Chloe’s handlers report that although she is still learning what it’s like
to have homework assignments in her life every week, “she has been doing
well.” She still has to learn the fine art of her stays, but for the most
part, she’s getting the grasp of her sit and down commands. Her handlers
gave her great grades on her report card this week in one area. “Chloe does
very well off leash, and when you call her, she comes running to you, and
rolls on her back when she gets back to you.” Even though she may not be the
easiest dog her handlers have trained because of her shyness, they have
nothing but good things to say about her personality! “I had her in the
doggie yard and we played for a little bit. She’s so sweet and loves
attention.” Your handlers will work diligently to help you overcome your
fears, and to help you find your forever family, sweet Chloe.

Week 3
With some of our dogs, it is one paw forward and two paws back. Although
Chloe is doing better with some of her commands, she has a problem when her
handlers correct her. “She just drops to the floor.” Her handlers recognize
that her journey through the program is going to be a slow one, but they are
up to the task. “She’s very sweet, but submissive.” As you read last week,
however, Chloe had a great outing with (HOPE volunteer) Susan, so let’s HOPE
that she continues to grow and heal from the scars that brought her to
CSI-Camp Hill.

Week 2
Chloe’s handlers are happy to report that “she has been doing better every
day.” They are still taking it easy on her training since she’s still
adapting, but she worked on her leash walking this week. It still needs some
work, but she performed her sit command “most of the time.” Good girl,
Chloe! Once she’s really settled in, let the training begin! Chloe and Mimi
spent a lot of time outside together this week getting to know one another,
and all went well. This pup still isn’t a toy kind of gal. “She just wants
to be scratched or rubbed. She is very sweet, loves everyone, and is very
affectionate.”
Field Trip Alert (as told by HOPE volunteer Susan): Last
Saturday I had the pleasure of taking Chloe to the nature park at the Lower
Allen Dog Park. I made arrangements to meet a friend who had recently
adopted a senior dog from the Harrisburg Humane Society. After each
dog had fully checked each other out, off we went for our adventure. The
dogs acted like they had known each other all of their lives. Whatever Chloe
did, Ginger (the senior dog) had to follow her lead, especially when it came
to getting in the yellow breeches creek. Chloe could not get into the water
fast enough. She is a great swimmer and thoroughly enjoyed it. I even took
off my shoes and went in as far as I could. Next week, I plan to take a
retractable leash along so we can go out even further. I even bought water
shoes for the event! Chloe is a sweet, wonderful "velcro" dog. When
she looks at you with those beautiful brown eyes, she captures your heart.
She is going to make someone a GREAT dog.

Week 1
Chloe’s handlers report that she is “having a tough time” adjusting to her
new surroundings. At this point, she doesn’t play with toys, so “it’s hard
to motivate her.” That having been said, her handlers have been taking her
for a lot of walks, and just letting her get to know them. “She is a
sweetheart and she loves attention. We are bonding, and she’ll do fine once
she gets adjusted.”

UPDATE
6-18-11
Chloe is off to jail this Sunday. This
little sweetheart is a puppy mill survivor and her experience there left
some scars. She needs some structure and consistency to help her feel
safe again so she can learn to rejoin the pack and be at peace. She is
an pretty, five year old Lab mix who is available for adoption through
Diamond Dog Rescue. Stay tuned
for next week's update.
