Alice's progress through our Rescue below
Original Referral information : We work with our dogs & often reveal a different picture & positive skills as they build trust. If you can save one of my girls? Have transport to eb tomorrow so can hold but no hold in pound next in my girls will die. I am asking everyone not just you trying not to pressure

This stunning girlie NEEDS A RESCUE SPACE TO SAVE HER and by god she deserves it!!!! Sooooo... seeking a rescue space is: Alice she is a 2-4 yr old staff x female. Alice came into pound extremely petrified and untrusting, it took staff a little while to gain her confidence, she is happier with people she knows now but still very wary of people she doesn’t. She is treat oriented so helpful to build up her trust. She doesn’t seem to be keen on small dogs and is a bit picky on dogs she goes past. She needs someone to work with her and build her confidence, if she could talk we would know what people have done to hurt her in the past, I’m sure as sure can be though if Alice could tell us her past...it’s not bloody good.

Alice is a sweetie, wobbly when she returned to the kennels from her spay yesterday, and looking for reassurance as she met quite a few new people - cuddling in close to Anne to build her courage, bless her she is very sweet and happy to meet but in her own time, i am sure Alice will thrive with RR and her confidence boost

Although still a little nervous, Alice is gaining in confidence every day. She was much more animated and friendly and up for a walk this morning. She positively lit up when we were joined by Louise walking Chief and Biscuit. She was very keen to walk close to the other dogs and seemed more confident and happier in their company.

I had a lovely walk with Alice. We kept to the shade of the woods as it was so hot. We did visit the stream but Alice politely declined to have a paddle but she did show me her best smiley, happy face.

I had the pleasure of meeting Alice on Sunday. She was happy to leave her kennel and walked beautifully on the lead as we headed for the woods. As the sun was shining I took her to the stream but she wasn't very keen on going in, although she did have a drink. When we finished our walk we sat for a while under the shade of the tree, where she was very interested in the treats I had in my bag and enjoyed a couple :)

A really lovely dog.

Alice and I have being enjoying shady walks to get out of the heat. She does not want to paddle in the stream but the mud by the stream is wet and cool for her paws and she makes use of the free salad bar!

My first meeting with Alice today. I just sat quietly in her kennel at first and she gave me a thorough inspection, as if to say lets have a look at you then. I think I passed as she became more and more friendly so I clipped her lead on and off we went. Alice is a stunning girl and walks well on the lead. We went into the shade in the paddock, where Alice was happy to amble around and didn't take much notice of me really. She came when called and seemed to want to go back to her kennel after a while. She passed other dogs well. Can't wait for her character to come out properly.

Just chilling
