Brown, hairy and broken

Well we are taking her home a day early. Logistics work better this way. She's in the car, and she's perked up quite a bit.

Just got a lot of introductions to do now.....!

Good luck!

We've tried doing introductions the "proper" way - y'know, keep the new dog in a separate part of the house for a couple of days so they all get used to each others' smells, supervised interaction only etc. We've tried this many times over the years, but it always gets fouled up by one or more of them just barrelling in and the dogs all sorting themselves out.

With Coco, the Akita, she totally ruined it straight away. Just walked straight into the house, opened the lounge door, claimed the crate for herself and sat there while the others came and had a sniff. That was it.

Hope it goes smoothly for all of you

Awesome, I hope it all works out for the best

20 mins. 

All socialised and running around like a pack. 

She is staying.

Bridgehouse

Well. I'm amazed. She is nothing like the shivering wreck in the kennels.

Absolutely gobsmacked. And to think she was minutes from being put to sleep. Unbelievable.

Well I feel like a right fraud. She was terrified when we picked her up. She calmed down in the car, and now she's home it's like she's been here for years. Fitted straight in - other dogs have all accepted her and she's a totally different dog.

Corvus

That's excellent. She's a lovely looking dog too.

That's all she's ever wanted.
Made my day man.
Have an amazing night feeling brilliant about what you did.

I'll admit that I dont particuarly like dogs. However I like people who abuse them less. Also that is one cute dog and you have a wow from me. 

Good luck and good karma your way.

What a result! Looking at that face, I suspect you're going to have the opposite problem from what you originally thought...

As wonderful as this story is, and it really is, I'm still coming to terms with the revelation that @Evilmags has a heart. 
I may need a lie down.

What a cutie! You did an admirable thing there.

ThePrettyDamned

Bloody well done. What a beautiful dog! And looks so happy now. 

You're a top lad. Heart warmed. 

Bridgehouse

A bit more time to settle in now.

For those of you that want to know how a timid, nervous, anxious and scared dog reacts when settled into a rescue home... well....




Cheeky cow....
