Girlys story♥️
Girly was first seen as a stray before being brought to the Austin Animal Center. Needing both medical and behavioral attention, she was soon taken under the wing of Austin Pets Alive. However, her journey was far from smooth. Once adopted, she was returned due to avoidable behaviors, reflecting poor choices by her adopters. Her new adopters had irresponsibly let her off leash in a field with strangers doing exercises, including high kicks, and Girly bit one of them. She showed signs of being an abused dog, as a quickly raised hand could make her cower, even when the gesture was non-threatening. The fault lay with the adopters for letting an untrained and unfamiliar dog off leash, not with Girly. This incident led to Girly becoming a long-stay resident at the shelter.Finally, I inquired, “Who’s Girly?” Described as dog-social but cautious with people and prone to leash reactivity, Girly’s profile reminded me of Vanity. Compelled, I requested to meet her.
Our first meeting was approached with caution, as she can be wary of new people, but Girly’s immediate warmth towards me sealed our connection. She trotted straight up to me, licked my hand – an unusual behavior for her – and then wagged her tail as she trotted away to sniff around. Financial constraints initially led me to foster Girly, but the thought of losing her to another adoption was unbearable. When an adoption inquiry came, I didn’t hesitate; I adopted her myself, unable to face the prospect of her departure.Now, Girly is thriving. We’re tackling her leash reactivity, and she’s extremely sociable with humans, including men, and even accompanies me to work. Her quirks, like her stiff wagging tail and Tigger-like hops, add to her charm. She’s not only a wonderful pet but also a muse for many of my pet pattern designs.
Girly’s story is a testament to the resilience and potential of long-stay shelter dogs. It underscores the importance of interpreting behavioral notes
🎈Willow Story🎈
She was in a house with 11 other Rottweilers in North London. She was super thin, and it was evident that they had been fighting for food, as indicated by marks on their faces, according to the RSPCA. When we got her, she was very nervous, likely not having left the house before and unfamiliar with her surroundings. Due to her size, she's likely a mix with another breed, although that remains unknown. She's quite independent, loves playing with a ball, and enjoys walks in the woods. We're still working on issues like reactivity, but with consistent effort, we see progress each month. We always wanted a Rottweiler and opted for a rescue. I spotted her on the RSPCA page last Christmas, looked at my partner, and said we had to go see her. The rest is history
