Mrs Russleigh Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 A friend of mine rescued a GSDx bitch from a difficult situation but financial/accommodation problems have meant that he can't keep her either. He has done right by her but she needs a safe home before he moves, she is very pretty which to me makes her all the more vulnerable, he is at least her 3rd home if not more . Her recall is good, she is good with children but needs mental stimulation and activity and training like any GSD. I will cat test her this weekend with my lot. Ella - about 3 yrs old, neutered. Loves to play with my lot If you can give a suitable, loving home please PM me, thanks. Usual homechecks etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Russleigh Posted October 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Ella came round to mine for an hour or so today. She is fine with the dogs though very excitable as she's not used to sharing with other animals. She thought the cat was very interesting but then she was distracted by something else and next time she saw the cat she wasn't that fussed about it, though was still intriqued as to what it actually was. The she saw the chicken and that was a different matter :shock: , though she is so well behaved and amenable to instruction, that she could be trained off. She is very skittish and bouncy and I can see why the owner needs to find her a home where she'll get the stimulation and exercise she needs. She is also quite dominant with my boys (this was hilarious), so anyone needing a bossy bitch ....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Russleigh Posted October 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Just want to post some pictures of Ella to show how nicely she plays with my lot. More photos of her mooching and playing with my lot Harvey adores her (er hum - Harvey I was trying to rehome last Jan but he stayed !) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Russleigh Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Ella is coming on really nicely with the cats. She came round again for an hour and she never settled but you can't blame her with Harvey (her best play friend) in the next room, 4 knuckle bones, cat food and the smell of chicken! But she sat with me and does sit on command, and gave me nice sniffs and cuddles and forgot about the cat when she found the bones! She is such a lovely friendly girl and her ears are hilarious! Also she is chipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Russleigh Posted November 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 We thought we had this girl sorted, that is the owner thought he had found a way to keep her in very difficult circumstances, but it is not working so she still needs a good home - he dad is looking for work and has to be out of the house far too long to leave her alone and dog walkers are not enough. She runs with my lot and is exemplary in keeping them rounded up and together and I've never seen any aggression from her. Onlead she is variable but I fink a bit more direction from the owner might help - he knows I've said that! So I'm taking her to training classes to get her used to new situations and new owners which I am sure she will do well at, but I cannot keep her as I have 5 already and cannot afford another .

jacqui d Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Playing advocate here, you sound quite in love with her (understandably as she is stunning) do you think her present owner would let you foster her and cover your costs until a more perminant home can be found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's been to my house on her own now and because she knows her place she is really calm and basically waiting and happy to accept instructions. If I didn't have a bad back I would be taking her to agility with one of mine as well . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
