I’m Sibel… and not so long ago, I was a very different girl.Before I came to my foster home near Oxfordshire, life had taught me to be afraid. I grew up in a place where humans weren’t gentle, noises were loud, and safety didn’t exist. I learned to shrink, to freeze, to stay invisible — because that felt like the safest thing to do.But everything began to change the moment I arrived here.At first, I didn’t understand kindness. I didn’t know that hands could be soft or that voices could be warm. I watched my foster mummy from a distance, unsure, worried, curious.She never rushed me. She just waited… patiently… quietly… lovingly.And one day, something inside me finally believed her.I walked over… and asked for cuddles.Now, I curl up right next to her, snuggle into her side, and seek out the affection I once feared. For a girl with my past, that is a huge step — and I’m proud of myself.I’ve also discovered something wonderful…I love water.Splashing, paddling, and sometimes getting very muddy (oops). It makes me feel carefree and silly in the best way.And I adore the other dogs here, especially Charlie the spaniel, who has become my best friend. He shows me how to explore, how to relax, how to trust. With a gentle dog by my side, I feel braver — like maybe the world isn’t as frightening as I once thought.But I’m still learning.I’m still very scared of my foster dad. Men are difficult for me. I watch him from afar, unsure if I can let him in. I just need more time, more patience, more quiet reassurance that I won’t be hurt again.What I long for now is a soft, understanding home.A place that won’t expect too much too quickly.A place that celebrates small victories — because those are the ones that matter most for dogs like me.A home with a calm, friendly dog who can help guide me, and humans who will whisper safety instead of demanding confidence.Maybe that home is yours.If you have a gentle household, steady routines, a kind heart, and a resident dog who wouldn’t mind showing me the way, I promise I’ll try my best every single day. I may take time, but one day, I hope to lift my eyes to yours with trust — real, soft trust — the kind that grows only where love lives.I’m ready to keep learning what kindness feels like.I’m ready to discover that life can be gentle.And I’m ready to finally belong.With hope,SibelSibel.
