Very Excited!!

Post by KathJ »

We've been thinking about getting a dog for a couple of years and now we're settled in our new home with an acre garden we thought we'd probably go for it this summer. However, the opportunity has come up a bit sooner than we thought!! Someone at work has posted a rescue dog needing a home (she walks for the kennels) and he just looks so adorable we've decided to go for it and we're going to meet him on Sunday. He's a lurcher who's about 5 years old and was a stray. He's very gentle and placid and sounds ideal for our first dog. Can't wait to meet him on Sunday )like(

How lovely.
Rescuing a dog won't change the World. But for that dog the World will change.
Good Luck with the vetting etc

He sounds lovely and what a wonderful thing to do to give a forever home to a rescue dog. Hope everything goes really well for you and will look forward to an update once you have your new companion home. )like(

My friend who lives on her own has just acquired a greyhound from their rescue. We've not been able to meet her yet, but are so looking forward to doing so.

Hope all goes well for you Kath. I love greyhounds and lurchers.

Oh, he was gorgeous and very placid as we were told. We took him for a walk and he trotted along quite happily. They're coming to asses us tomorrow and hopefully we might be able to collect him on Friday )c( A felt awful taking him back to his little kennel yesterday and then we called and spent a fortune in the pet shop {rofwl} I'll post a picture when I can remember how to do it!!
