scottpenn28 246 Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 Mrs has taken in a foster dog from local charity as she knew id be happy to have it around. The pup has apparently been locked in a create since birth (thats what they have been told) currently estimated to be around 5 months old, emaciated and scared of people but loves other dogs and not fazed by kids at all. She is now getting more confident around us though and allowing us to stroke her and not bolting everytime we move. Her diet mainly consisted of white bread according to people who bred her so first thing we have done is get her on some decent food and try build her up. She could hardly walk when we picked her up and certainly couldn't run, legs were simply too weak. Tbh she's a lovely little pup and since I've been considering another pup for a while now, it kind of suits me that she's here. We were told what other dogs were around when this pup was rescued so I have my thoughts about her breeding. Has anyone previously had any joy getting a rescue working successfully? We've got 2 weeks before the charity start promoting her for permanent home but we have first refusal if we wanted to keep her. Meet Jenny. 17 Quote Link to post

From what we've been told there was several dogs of breeding age that were tied up and the guess is that it's a pup from 2 of those. Apparently a saluki, a whippet, a spaniel, a collie and a dachshund that we've been informed of. But as you say she looks like she's got a decent amount of saluki in her. Quote Link to post

fred90 3,140 Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 I certainly think it's a achievable and you're the right man to do it, you wouldn't have got this far without having what it takes 1 Quote Link to post
shaaark 10,667 Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 (edited) Can definitely see the collie and dachshund in her, with that wall eye and stumpy legs. Regards, pew Good on you, fella. Hope it all goes well for you. Edited March 31 by shaaark 2 Quote Link to post
shaaark 10,667 Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 @THE STIFFMEISTER Thank f**k someone got my sense of humour!! Anyway, the man has done a good deed, and I genuinely hope it all works out for him. 2 1 Quote Link to post
Samrog 419 Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 I think if and when you get that bond it will make a great worker with your effort. Without trying to sound too soft we’ve had a few rescue dogs and I think they really do know that you saved them.I say give it a chance 3 Quote Link to post
