“He was very nervous,” Parascandola said. “For these guys, they don’t know they’re being rescued, so it’s very unsettling for them when they first get moved. I mean, there are a few of the dogs that are very social, and they adapt quite quickly … but for the other dogs, it takes a little while for them to feel comfortable in a new situation.”
