Yes I've been quiet lately but really there is so little to update on. Chance is still with us and looking for his forever home. By the looks of it he'll still be here while we're on holiday at the end of this month so our dog sitter has an extra dog on her hands.
Now I must say no there is no bad news on Chance, the bad news that Phoebe is back. You may remember the lovely lurcher girl who was with us 2 years ago. Unfortunately her owner is getting a new job meaning Phoebe would have to be left longer hours, which she just would not cope with. If you remember the reason she initially came in was separation anxiety. After having her for the short period of time 2 years ago I think we did learn it is boredom. She needs access to a full house, plenty of walks and someone in most of the time. To read more in Phoebe at first read back on May 2012 here - http://lucythedogfosterer.blogspot.co.uk/2012_05_01_archive.html. Phoebe needs a home with another dog and can live with children over 5. She is very gentle with children and is used to her current owners young nephew. Other than her high activity levels and being unable to be left long Phoebe is the all round perfect dog. Sometimes dogs are returned in rescue, sometimes life doesn't turn out as people plan and the dogs life gets affected but at least we are here to find Phoebe the perfect home and make the transition easier.
For every piece of bad news I do have some good. You will more than likely all remember Bunny who we rehomed last year, she held a special place in my heart and her owners have never stopped updating me with her progress. Any mischievous antics, naughty ways, fantastic behaviour they have told me about. Now a few months ago Bunnys owners daughter had a baby. Now Bunny is the loveliest of dogs but when she first came into rescue she was a nervous wreck who didn't even want to approach new people. I'd just like to share this photo (with owners permission) of Bunny in her home with her little niece. For all the people who rehome their dogs because your having a baby look at this. This dog would not go near people at one point in her life, she was so scared after being let down in life but look at her now!
