Freeway – is now called Marley

Freeway is now called Marley, like the dog in the movie ” Marley and Me”. Now after ten days he now is with us we must note this name fits him perfectly. The ride home from the airport went smoothly. He immediately jumped into the car, lay down and dozed the whole trip. At home some family members were waiting eagerly for their new family member. Everything was ready, we went a little walk and then he was allowed to explore his new home and meet his family. He got something to eat and then he has a period of calm and we wanted to sleep. But Marley was terribly excited, he jumped and ran through the beds back and forth. Finally he lay down on the tiles and not in his dog basket and the rest of the night he was quiet. The next morning he came with a wagging tail to us. The first morning round was a nightmare. He pulled me over the meadows and paths, but the next round was already much more relaxed and from then it was always better. The first five days he behaved like a lamb, we thought the poor dog can´t bark. He learned quickly the German commands. But now the tide has turned: he can bark! Marley is crazy for toys and he loves to cuddle and unfortunately to eat. Marley is nice and friendly to all people. Only in young children we must still be careful because his temperament. Marley will go to dog school soon and there he will learn a lot. Related...

Again news of Gabby from her foster home

We have received again news of Gabby from her foster home in Germany. The foster home describes Gabby as follows: Gabby is a very fun loving dog. She loves people and wants to be always with them. She likes to cuddle, but also to kid around at the same time. Gabby is alert and she gives sometimes a loud. She is not interested in cats. Gabby is a dog which you have to show leadership because despite her small size, she could be in inexperienced hands to a terror crumbs. If you gives her clear instructions she understands them quickly. Gabby is very clever, little tricks and fast movements are her life, so she would be happy when you makes with her Trickdog or Dogdance. Gabby is very well with all dogs. Small dogs are more interesting than large dogs, but she gets along very well with the existing large dog in the foster home. For her final happiness Gabby is still looking for an own family who can offer her an active life. We keep our fingers crossed that she finds them quickly. Related...

The “small” Francis is now living just over a year with her family in Germany. Francis took a few days to settle in. She never wanted to go far away from the house. It also took a long time to be housebroken. Meanwhile she has settled in her home. She has a very large land with adjoining forest to romp and play. Francis goes to dogs always friendly and shows no aggression. She shows no fear of people. She goes open-minded and friendly to all. She is still a bit jumpy in front of trains and buses, but even she will learn it. Francis is a very affectionate dog and she loves the sun. In the summer she was on a lake, where she has purely dare a little bit, otherwise she is more afraid of water . Francis is the sunshine of the family and the family never give back this sunshine. We see, our “little” Francis is grown up. Is this happy ending not the proof that even dark, brindle and not only cute dogs also deserve to have a nice home just as bright or cute dogs (in the eyes of society)? We are very happy for Francis, that she has such a loving home. Thank you to the family! Related...
