Picking up a new girlie this morning!

[catembi]

We are collecting an 8 year old female Rottie from a rescue today. Max has been so sad by himself. He has never been an only dog before. Let’s hope she cheers him up! Everyone seems to want to rescue the younger dogs but not so much the older ones. Photos to follow if all goes well. These photos are of poor Maxi all alone. ?

Oh that’s so wonderful. Lucky girl xxx

Good luck, I hope all goes well ??

 

[Cinnamontoast]

Ooh, lovely! The OH and I were just saying we’re going to rescue older dogs when we no longer have the werewolf. They need lovely homes. I hope she gets on with your current lad and he loves her.

 

[Clodagh]

That is wonderful news, I hope it all goes smoothly and well.

There was a 14 year old Rott up for adoption fairly recently & I was severely tempted! My old boy made it to 12 years 2 months & was quite doddery, so I was under no illusion that it would be days/weeks with a 14 yo, but he looked like my old boy...! The only thing that put me off was that it was RSPCA so he would probably have been deceased by the time that we had fought our way thru home check, paperwork, more paperwork etc.

I hope she settles in well and they enjoy each others company. Xx

She's a lucky girl to have found you. Hope Max cheers up.

 

[Pearlsasinger]

Congratulations to all of you! I hope they settle down well together.

 

[catembi]

Safely home! Max loves her!

 

[Clodagh]

Beautiful! Lucky girl. What's her back story?

 

[catembi]

I am not sure... I *think* it's elderly owner, etc but it might be divorced owner. Not a neglect case, & a v sweet dog.

There’s a very, very sad 12 year old in rescue kennels near me (West Wales). Heartbreaking ?

[catembi]

Ohhhhh, don't tell me that...! I want him/her now...!

ETA...cross posted...I now see that she is a 'her'. Poor girlie! My old boy was v old & doddery, but we literally limped onwards until his digestion packed in. He used to walk purposefully after his ball when he couldn't run any more! But he still enjoyed it.

But, if there was anyone not a million miles away who could offer her a home.... ??

 

[catembi]

Walk at lunchtime! She was v enthusiastic but also well behaved so I dared to let her off the lead when we were nearly home in an empty enclosed field next to ours.

 

[Moobli]

She’s lovely.

I'm so glad that they are settling down so well together.

How could any-one abandon a 12 yr old dog? Least of all a 12 yr old Rottie? I wish ours had lived to be 12!

 

[MrsMozart]

Yay to the new girl!

Would love to give the 12v year old a home. Don't think ours are settled enough yet to bring another one in. I'll ask the local Rottie rescue, see if she knows anyone.
