Welcoming a new member to the family

[dullbird]

As some of you may know I had a German shepherd called 'Cleo' in foster care with me for extreme timidness.....it was, come into foster with me or be put to sleep.

Well I went to work on Friday and brought her. She is 6years old and didn't even know how to wag her tail when I got her took her 2 weeks to come out of her shell.

She was seized with a few other dogs from a security company for extreme emaciation! and judging by her timidness and lack of confidence with everything I would dare say she was locked up and kept away from everyone and everything.

She is now looking great and is living life to the fullest I decided to buy her as she is the most beautiful Dog I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.
The only down side to this is I can no longer foster other dogs due to space. But I'm pleased I saved this one as she was worth it. And I feel proud seeing her running around enjoying life like she should have as a young dog.

So glad it worked out for the best and I'm sure Cleo will only continue to improve with you guys looking after her!

Nothing better then having a dog who enjoys watching you work on your Land Rover!

You are doing something very noble and she will pay you with an unconditional friendship and love for the rest of her life.
Very nice of you :)

:Rolling: YUK! :D

I think I still have slobber in my ear from your other two... :lol2: I got ear kissed! :(

[stage1slave]

DB, that is an excellent outcome, and that is a beautiful dog! As 'young mr grace' would say,.......you've all done very well.
I have some fond memories of my RSPCA days. For all the horrible things I saw, sometimes, just sometimes I saw good stories. Rehoming an animal is a real buzz, even better when it's our home they are moving into. All of my animals are someone else's cast offs.

great work!

Lovely dog, well done.
Now let her loose in a paddock with a few rabbits for some fun. That should build her confidence ;).

[sclarke]

Ive had the pleasure of meeting her and she is indeed a nice dog....
I'd have her in a heartbeat...

[agrojnr]

Good stuff I had a rotti cross like that and she was a great dog

Well done

She is absolutely beautiful Lou. I was wondering the outcome & am so glad you saved her. They are the most loyal companions ever ...

[MacMan]

What a sweetie!

Good on you for taking her on. All my immediate family have rescue dogs. They can be a lot of work in the beginning, but I think they all know when they are on a good wicket and bond very strongly.

I would have been tempted if we didn't already have two!

You Rock Lou:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Captain_Rightfoot]

That's great. I think the wastage of animal life that happens in our society is horrible.
