We want to express a special "Thanks" to you and all the volunteers at the Upper Credit Humane Society for looking after "Rye" (renamed to "Bailey" in the meantime) while she was in your care. She has now been part of our family since February 8, 2010 and has adapted to her new surroundings better than we had hoped for. The information kit and advice you gave us were very useful to help integrate her successfully and were much appreciated.
Bailey is an absolute pleasure to have around. She is about one year old, very relaxed and quiet, eager to learn and is already housebroken. By now she knows all the commands like "heel", "sit", "stay", "down", "come". We even got her to "stay" when we put a dog treat right in front of her and walk some distance away. She will only take the treat after we tell her "go". For the whole time since we got her she only barked once and only because she was frustrated with us at one point. Her home is in the laundry room and we can leave the clothes and shoes there since she will not touch them. No crate is necessary since she goes there by herself when she wants to rest. She enjoys travelling in the car and remains calm so it was not necessary to provide a barrier behind the seat. Attached are some photos we took two weeks ago.
We just love this dog and cannot comprehend how anyone could have abandoned her in -10 degrees temperature.
Brigitte and Karl
