This is our wonderful Kelly out doing some environmental training with her foster today
Some one somewhere must want a beautiful and capable work partner
β οΈIce Warning β οΈ
Yesterday was so cold today is going to be much the same
As usual the weather doesn't stop jobs needing to be done animals to tend to check they are coping etc
So took my dogs out as usual and went up to the horses ( Kira now double rugged)
My older dogs just pottered slowly around one due to his age and weak back legs has problems walking on slippery surfaces but still wants to go out daily
The girls Kendo and Tippi are as crazy as ever a bit of ice isn't going to stop them tearing around the field like lunatics
We had company yesterday a retired military police dog trainer who was with me when the injuries happened
Within half an hour of my dogs being out two had injuries to their pads
We saw how Tippi injured her paw she jumped down from the hay bale there was nothing she could have cut her pad on ...... except the ICE
Assuming that's how Star cut her paw too
β οΈTHE ICE IS LIKE GLASSβ οΈ
Both dogs are ok wounds dressed etc
All my dogs are having a stay at home day today I don't want any more injuries
Please be careful in this awful weather
Before and after Rosa
Rosa came to New Dawn after being found wandering the streets. She was still lactating and appeared to have been repeatedly used for breeding.
She was fostered for just over a year with little interest probably due to her age.
We agreed to have her with us so she had a Christmas in a home for the first time ever.
Well she absolutely blew us away, the most affectionate and happy dog in think I have ever met. She decided the cuddle chair is hers and this is where she spends the majority of her time snoozing.
Needless to say we adopted her too and she gets to spend the rest of her days happy with her brother and sisters.
Before and after- Sisu and Raya.
Wow didn't you 2 girls start some drama! Sheffield pound contacted New Dawn after 2 pups had been seen consistently wandering the streets together (see posts from the area) Julie contacted me (Heather) and we agreed i would foster them especially as the pound knew of me as I had Ronin from them 6 months earlier.
Que alot of crap flown my way by the usual few but it didn't stop me fostering these 2 beauties.
Both were very skittish and afraid but they eventually started to come out of their shells. It became apparent they couldn't be homed together.
Raya found her forever home elsewhere and is happy with her family (latest pic at the end in purple collar)
Sisu was still waiting but as she had her paws under the table and a bond with our oldest CRD Eevee we decided to give her a forever home π‘
Before and after: Ronin, the very first Chinese Red Dog to come to New Dawn. He arrived at the pound after being dumped on the streets of Sheffield, I remember seeing his post and instantly applying for him. When he came you could see the poor boy had a terrible start.
I've included a picture where you can see a scar on his front leg, he's covered in them. Our vet believes he was beaten with a chain and shot in the back of the head.
Adapting to a new life was not easy for him, he maintains a weariness of men but is overall my best boy. He's so loving and wonderful to have in our family. Included are pics of at the pound, new home, gotcha day and a couple of new ones.
Proof of the great work we do here at New Dawn Malinois Rescue
