The world can be a scary place sometimes. Yet, just the comfort of a good treat from a good person in a good home can make all your troubles go away. Pups like three-year-old Eva know this exceptionally well and how it can soothe a hurt spirit.
Eva was taken into the Robins-Starr Humane Center at the SPCA in Richmond, Virginia, from their rural partners at the Prince Edward County Animal Control on January 7. Eva hasn't always known the comfort and love of a good home, and her demeanor told the tale when she arrived in Richmond.
Emily Neal, a volunteer with the SPCA, has been one of Eva's primary caregivers over the past couple of months and has gotten to know Eva well. "The first day she was in my office, I couldn't touch her," she said. Yet, it seemed that lots of attention worked its magic, and Eva's demeanor changed overnight.
