Hi @everyone!
I'm super happy to introduce everyone to Maya-Marie, a 4-5 month young pup who we rescued yesterday.
Her name (the Maya part) means illusion and magic in Sanskrit and water and from God in Hebrew.
My friend and the like-minded animal behaviorist Sarah Hodgson was initially guided to her through the Adopt A Dog website which is a rescue group with which she works.
Sarah and I went to meet her last week and initially I was not planning to adopt her.
However, in the subsequent days I received several intuitive messages from Archie that Morticia (which is the name they gave her in the shelter) should come to live with us.
Many of you know that since 1/5/24 (which is when Archie died) we've been hoping for a new family member. Ideally a "clean" pup without early age vaccinations or early spay/neutering and no drugs, etc.
MM (Maya-Marie) had multiple early age vaccines (every 2 weeks!), was spayed by 3 months, had giardia, coccidia and tapeworms, received anti-biotics and multiple other drugs etc.
Everything we tried to avoid.
But our wanting to rescue a pup in need drove us to adopt her.
MM was born on the streets in TN, rescued by an organization down there, then came to live in a wonderful shelter in Armonk, NY called Adopt A Dog. Coincidentally, I had worked with the founder of AAD back in the '80s (but not since)!
So MM is with us now and is already working through her many fears from having never lived in a home before.
She is also already manifesting many early warning signs like voluminous and frequent stools, smelly gas, anal sac expressions, ear itch and discharge, etc.
I am now in the same position as many others who adopted rescue pups, and look forward to following her progress, and answering questions about similar situations, in this forum thread.
BTW-The title of this discussion says that she is being BEAM-trained, so what does that even mean?
BEAM-training incorporates the Happiness Protocol and closely monitoring her BEAM.
Thanks to BEAM-training being aligned with MM's "higher purpose" (being a happy, safe and secure source of unconditional love) she is already overcoming many of her fears!
