We had a lovely sunny day at the refuge today, and loads of dogs were walked, which is always great. Walks are so important for dogs, as it helps them maintain any training they have had prior to their arrival at the refuge, as well as helping the volunteers assess a dog’s character and thus its suitability for adoption with a new family.
Several of our dog walkers have succumbed to the charms of a dog. And today Roady (now Brody) was adopted having spent several weeks in foster care (he arrived having been hit by a car and at one stage we thought we were losing him, so when he was ready to leave the infirmary he went home with a volunteer instead of going to a kennel.)
His new dad will continue to walk dogs, so we will have news of Brody’s progress.
