This is a big milestone for these dogs and they have worked extremely hard to get to this point. Today Rosco and Molly moved in together and Chance and Neveah in together as room mates in the apartments we made for the original shelter dogs like Freddo.
It is only just in time for the cold months of Winter.
For those only just tuning in, these four dogs cannot be in the shelter as they were ordered to be put to sleep if they could not find an alternate solution immediately. They had no luck being adopted either. Sadly each of them have come here with some serious aggression issues. Those in our training academy would have seen them at their worst. It hasn’t been pretty.
They’ve worked very hard training each day. We paired them up earlier for training and exercise purposes and for eventually this day, when they could room mate together.
Neveah and Molly still have quite a beef about each other. Sadly they did manage to fight back at the shelter, and they’ve never forgotten it. We’ve seen it before. Freddo and Jake had the same relationship.
Chance has ongoing skin issues from a skin condition he has had since before he arrived. Whilst he hasn’t worn the muzzle now for a month, the irritation is still there and being treated along with marks above his eyes from before he even came here.
Molly arrived with terrible teeth from biting the cages down to the nerves. She has recently had the problem teeth removed from her bottom jaw.
Neveah as you can see, doesn’t stop, she is SUPER high energy. From her mannerisms, physique and markings we’d be surprised if she was not mostly Boxer and Staffy. She hurt her foot on a run a few weeks back because she doesn’t look where she’s running, nothing serious, she is supposed to be on rest but as you can see, she doesn’t really rest. But she’s doing well and it isn’t causing her any issues.
These dogs are going to be long termers. We still have a lot of work to do. We want to continue to help them. And whilst they’re here, they can now live in comfort.
I would just like to also say thank you. Thank you from these shelter dogs and from us. We pour a lot of resources into these dogs. Training, staff, exercise, cleaning, feeding, vet bills etc. We don’t ask for money. We are not a charity, we’re just a family fostering these dogs. We just happen to have a dog trainer in the family and a facility we can give to the cause. But the only reason we can afford to do all this ongoing, is because of you all who watch a few ads on our videos and those who are members in our behind the scenes and supporters groups. We’re not a big channel by any means, but it does help us give the now 21 rescue/shelter dogs in our foster care whatever they need. And for those wondering, one two week period alone racked up just vet bills of $26k. The weekly food bill is, well you can imagine. Why am I saying this? Because you are a part of this. This community. And everyone at the farm thanks you, dogs and humans included. Thank you for sitting through a boring ad or two. Thank you for being a member/supporter. Perhaps you didn’t know just how much it helps and I wanted you to know.
Today we wanted to also thank personally Sonia for the jumpers and to the person who anonymously organised the lovely new collar for Chance.
