Luvn Miley
New member
Hi, Newbie here! ( Be Gentle) 
I'm Pam and our new family member is Miley. We adopted Miley 3 weeks ago from a very abusive home. Not only was the male owner abusive but she was attacked repeatedly by the other dogs (A Mastiff and a German Shepherd) in the house since she was a puppy. She is 5 years old now. Needless to say, she is a basket case presently, afraid of her own shadow and tries to fight every dog she comes into contact with. Makes it hard as we have 3 other dogs in the home. Luckily none of them fight back. Home has become pretty stressful since Miley arrived but with the use of gates and crates and schedules as to who can be out at certain times and knowing where all dogs are at at all times we are forging forward and determined to make this work. We are trying to find a behaviorist in our area that will come in and work with Miley, us and the other dogs.
Miley is very aloof with strangers, I can't say that I blame her after the upbringing she's had. So we will need a very patient trainer willing to work with her to gain her trust.
Like I said, we've had Miley 3 weeks as of today. When she came she would cower on the floor any time my husband was present, now three weeks later she is running to him and crawling into his lap giving him kisses and happy butt wiggles. So we are seeing good progress.
About the rest of our fur family, we share our home with a Boston Terrier, a Shih Tzu, an Australian Shepherd, and two cats. (All Rescues)
I'm looking forward to getting to know you all and sharing Miley's milestones with you all.

to EBN!! Thank you for rescuing that poor little girl! It sounds like you have made great progress already! With her being mistreated all these years, and in 3, running TO your husband sounds like good progress to me! Perhaps you can use some tips from the "cat from hell" man, and put a gate between the 3 dogs, and Miley when you feed. A little at a time, move the dishes closer to the gate when you feed. Perhaps eventually Miley will see that the others are not a threat. Three weeks is pretty quick for her to accept the others, as she has had 5 years of having to defend herself.
What a beautiful heartfelt thing you have done for that girl!!!! And how wonderful that things are progressing already and that you have a great pack that though your newbie isn't ready to accept, they seem willing to 'bring her in'. There are a few 'rescuers' here that I'm sure will have some great info for you. I'm so glad you found your way here as bulldogs are so different than any other breed I have lived with and have learned so much being here. again , welcome! and will love to share in your upcoming adventures 
Thank you for rescuing all your babies!!
Thank you for getting this baby out of harms way! And welcome to EBN!
