Diana

 

In Foster in Staffordshire
This is the wonderful Diana. Such a sweet girl with such a sad past. She was originally rescued after her then owners in the Balkans abandoned her onto the streets. She had lost that puppy look and to them she had served her purpose. She was then rescued, made ready to travel and transported to the UK where she was adopted. We thought finally Diana had recieved her fairy tale, what she needed most. Unfortunately, this was not to be. Yet again she was abandoned when her then adopters decided because she barked!!! That they would then hand her back to us.
This wonderful little girl deserves so much more than to be treated in such a way, she is a real cuddle muffin. gets along fine with other dogs, children,cats just anyone who will be friends with her, who will love her.
Once Diana trusts you, loves you, believes in her heart you are her family she will bark like all other dogs will when strangers enter the home, pass by the home, all this is to protect and warn the ones she loves. Sadly it would appear that the humans in her life so far did not deserve this little girls loyalty and devotion.
But we firmly believe that there is that perfect family out there who understand dogs bark, who understand what it means when you take a dog into your home, to treat them as a family member to love, care for , certainly not to hand back or throw away like she is nothing.
This little girl is not a problem at all, she just wants that chance to prove what a lovely girl she is, and to give again her trust to another family that this time will not let her down..

LAKI - RESERVED 3yr old Shepherd Cross Male - Laki now in foster in the UK looking for a home

 




FOSTERED IN THE UK / GATESHEAD AREA


Name: Laki
BreedHerzegovinian Shepherd Cross

Age: 3 years
Sex: Male


BACKGROUND
Little is known of his history as he was rescued from one o fthe most horrific kill shelters in the Balkans. However below you can read everything about him based upon his time of many months in his foster home in the UK

BASIC MEDICAL:
Microchipped
Fully Vaccinated (Inc Anti Rabies)
Vet Checked
He currently has a minor problem with one of his eyes that is easily rectified. Our charity is arranging this to be done so no medical problems for when he is adopted


LIKES:
Human friendly
Kid friendly (Though as large dog recommend only older children)
Dog friendly within the home but when out he needs distraction techniques which are easy enough to implement and is not a massive problem to spoil the walk itself.
Unsure if Cat friendly as his foster does not have cats
We have interim assessments and Laki is due one shortly so any additions to this information and we will update

Dislikes
No real dislikes noticed but if any occur / confirmed by follow up assessment we will update

BEHAVIORAL TRAITS
A wonderful gentle and loving dog. Adores family life, wonderful around humans and other dogs of a similar nature to him. Though he is not food agressive nor food focused he has the annoying habit being as large as he is the ability to steal food from plates on a table or work surface. This is being worked upon though and as a clever boy who is quick to learn this should not be a problem.


EXERCISE / TRAINING:
Being a large breed he does require good quality regular exercise. Also as he is a Shepherd breed he has a very active mind, so mental and physical stimulation is a must in a dog like Laki as it is for all Shepherd and Size breeds like him.
Very Smart and clever lad
Great on the lead
Wonderful with any exercise requiring agility physically and mentally

FUNNY/ADORABLE THINGS ABOUT LAKI
Laki is basically a big sloppy bear in a dogs body. He is incredibly gentle even around children and makes everyone laugh when he is flopping around the floor behaving like an overgrown puppy.  Also he can be mischievous (not in a bad way) and can be seen to be working out how to overcome obstacles of things put in the way between him and what he wants such  as treats, dinner plates with human food on etc.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS BY CARER/FOSTER: 
"Laki truly is a fantastic all round boy. Very gentle and relaxed nature. Gentleman on lead and in the home very respectful. He is good around food but if left he will take off the plate but he is getting training to overcome this little problem. He loves kids and is very gentle around my young son even with his size. Laki is underweight at the minute weighing in a mear 32.70 lbs. Good food and exercise is helping in a short space he already has put a pound on. Laki is a kind dog but he does need training to continue in his new home. He needs his own pack and will excel as he has done... Though laki is a big bear he is not to keen around other dogs whilst out... this is easy over come as just needs distraction while passing.

He is is an extremely clever lad. It has been noticed the way he methodically plans how to solve an obstacle which he succeeds to do amazingly well. A wonderful loving and gentle giant who just wants to be loved as much as he wants to be loved"
