Last Saturday I told you about the young couple with the little boy called Luca and border collie Alice who were looking for a new friend for Alice to help her get over losing Sadie their 14 year old shepherd cross. Alice and Sadie were both rescue dogs who had been with the family since they were about a year old so it was very clear that this family new the committment that they were making and had thought everything through. After introductions were made and several dogs were walked they decided to reserve Maggie.
Any household with a four year old is a busy one so it was very important to choose a dog who wasnt too high energy or hyper. At only one year old you could tell that Maggie was a calm, easy going girl who behaved impecably around Luca. Today, after a visit to the vet to be sterilised and get a passport, off she went. This lucky girl will be spending half of her time in the UK…half in France!
When we are adopting a dog to a family with children, especially young children, we are always very cautious. We much prefer the children to come along so we can meet them and see how any individual dog reacts around them. During introductions, we watch both the children and the dogs very carefully so we can advise accordingly. Keeping children safe around dogs is very important to us!
Next to leave was little Grisbi. He arrived two days ago but today he was reunited with his family.
We also had a super reservation today and I know that a certain volunteer will be crying tears of joy tonight!
