Hello!
We are in the process of adopting a lovely dog which had been abandoned two weeks ago in an industrial estate.
She is 10mo and 'houndy'! She is a real mutt, a mix of a mix of a mix. Best way to describe her is Irish Wolfhound but Airdale size!
She visited us last Saturday with her foster carer and we were all set to have her this coming Sunday.... But plans changed and she is coming tonight!

We have a list of things to buy now, which is fine, but mentally we aren't prepared and neither is the garden (we wanted to cut the grass back on Saturday as she seems fond of eating it!).

DH and I have had dogs in the past, but from puppies.

What advice can you give on settling her in?

No pics as yet, I'm afraid!

And she needs a new name. She is white and houndy!

TIA.

She's lovely. I'm involved with a Romanian dog rescue and quite a few of them are of that type. I wonder if she was a Rommie? They are often initially quite frightened of men too, which is perhaps why she preferred you?

Aww, how lovely. Keep her name Smile

She. Is. BEAUTIFUL.

Well done - the first few pics she looks really unsure and lost, and then in the latest one she looks much more confident.

Just be strong, calm, steady and the bond will grow. Sounds like it already is doing so if she's following you around.

Keep us posted on her progress

Just popping in to say well done for your patience and that she's beautiful! It can take a while for a new dog to settle, especially a rescue, but within a few more weeks it will feel like she's always been there!

She is so beautiful. More pics please!
