He also took a blood sample and we'll get him a stool sample when we can.
We took her home and got her a bath to get her clean (she was filthy). Got her some dinner and then spent some time bonding with her. She started out really shy at the shelter but has really warmed up to us in the last 3 or so hours.
We're keeping her quarantined from our other dog in the basement (don't worry it's a finsished basement with dog bed, blankets and a crate with a blanket too.) Right now she's snuggling with my wife in the downstairs bedroom. So things look good, our boy Freddie has heard her bark but is really being pretty cool about things. So we'll see how things go. |
Great news! Congrats!!! Take some more pics for us...please!
