My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

These 3 beautiful girls were part of a hoarding case during our quarantine. The 2 black lab ladies were kept on the back porch, and based on their behavior and the condition of the porch, they’ve likely never been off that porch until now. The door to the porch was wide open for days and they were barely brave enough to poke their heads out. Our officers had to climb into the porch and carry them to the truck.
The border collie mix las was in a pen off to the side of the property. She also didn’t know what to do when we let her out of the pen. All three girls, despite their living conditions, are the SWEETEST girls you’ll ever meet. They love to get pets and get so excited when we come up to their kennels. The collie mix was placed on a diet when she came in and will need to continue that for a while. The labs have some sort of skin condition that will need further care at a vet, but is likely due to prolonged fecal and urine exposure.
Now, I want to start off this portion of the description by saying hoarding is a mental health disorder. Usually, hoarding is caused by an underlying mental health disorder or some type of trauma and requires professional mental health intervention. The owner involved in this case had good intentions, but terrible execution and couldn’t take care of herself, let alone her animals. This home is not livable for any creature. Let alone a human, 3 dogs, and at one point 40+ cats. All of this could have been avoided if help was sought after. Some people with hoarding disorder may not seek help because they're embarrassed about their behavior. However, if you think you or a loved one might have a hoarding disorder, you can consult a mental health professional.
