Been surfing rescues sites awhile now...at least 2 yrs. I saw two adorable dogs on the local news this morn. They were showing some dogs from the local Spca. I shuffled off after work, and found Jillian, a 4yr old owner surrender terrier mix. We had a meet & greet...and she was really stinky...(nothing like 'ode de kennel smell)
She's a little bigger than my dogs, and her card stated she loved other dogs, kids & cats. She looks rather like an over-grown multi-colored yorkie/s**tzu mixed.
Here are some pics of her, she just had her bath...(no more 'ode de kennel smell for her. She was an angel in the car, and in the bath. Only problem I foresee at the moment, is she jumps in my lap & "guards" me from the other dogs. She did this several times of which I placed her on the floor, & told her no. She is going to have to learn that laps are shared here...lol
No snapping yet, just the growls when she is on my lap. I recognized the alert mode, & hopefully we stop that asap. On the floor, she was curious & did get along with the other dogs well. Buttons on one hand is upset at the moment, that I had the nerve to put her in the heated bed! Jillian is still damp, so I put her there.
From what I understand, Jillian spent her 4th birthday in the shelter...Jan. 7th, so unfortunately for Buttons, she will have to share her B-day party with Jillian on Tuesday. I don't think she'll mind too much though.
So far, I don't regret my decision, she's been an angel, follows me everywhere, & showers me with kisses. I really do get the sense that she is grateful to be here! Please welcome her to our family, as I'm sure there is some yorkie in her somewhere...lol
