Lyn Jama’s Success Story

Little did Lyn, now known as Fyn, know that her foster home would ultimately be her forever home!

Fyn’s foster mom decided to adopt her because she was so traumatized when she arrived that she couldn’t bear the thought of her having to learn to trust someone all over again. On adoption day, she was so relieved that she would have the chance to turn Fyn’s life around and help her become the golden she was meant to be.

“I absolutely love it when she ‘sploots’ and her front legs are crossed,” admits Fyn’s adoring mom. “It’s almost like a pose because she knows she’s pretty. After nearly one year, she now loves toys, lying on her back, holding them between her front legs, smiling at them and talking to them in soft grunts. Not only does she make a noise like Chewbacca on ‘Star Wars’ when she’s happy, she does it when she knows she’s about to get a snack and while she’s being petted.”

Never out of each other’s sight, Fyn accompanies her mom to work. In fact, Fyn thinks that all of her mom’s clients need her help when they lie on the floor because she lies beside them and nudges their hand until they pet, pet and pet her! Fyn also goes on boating trips, camping trips and long weekend trips with her mom and her two golden sisters Cali and Ember.Despite having an entire basket of toys, Fyn’s favorites are the soft, squishy ones. For activities, she loves hanging on the sun shelf in her mom’s fiancé’s pool now that she’s learned to swim better and is no longer terrified of water. She’s come so far! And yet, she won’t go for walks unless either Cali or Ember is with her, she’s anxious as they approach new people and dogs, and she’s still scared of some loud noises. But it’s NOTHING like before!

“Fyn’s antics with her toy ‘friends’ have us laughing daily,” concludes her mom. “Her random sploots in puddles when she’s tired are always a treat. She’s an absolute blast and she’s taught me so much about patience and having to earn trust. She definitely is my sidekick.”
