Dior, Staffie x Hound, 18 months old

Rescue Remedies · #1 (**permalink**) 07-10-2009, 09:20 PM

Her Story: Found stray in Kent as a young ?1-2 year old crossbreed

Salient points: Dior is houndy with a happy Staffie touch. She loves people and seems OK with dogs as far as our assessment has gone. Unassessed in a domestic situation.

Advert: Dior is a 'WHOW' a Super model as she stands and draws the attention to her remarkably beautiful body. Then she relaxes, smiles and comes over and becomes "just" the 'plain old cross breed' ... the girl next door! She has young energy which needs more attention, expression and tutoring. She needs to learn synergy within her family and relate to its routines and rhythm. She will; she is young, she just needs time and lots of "good girls" and treats indeed. Now spayed, chipped and beginning vax.

Dior needs a secure garden, occupation and care. She must have got into unloving hands to be found stray and unclaimed. She has so much love on offer ... and just needs a focus and she will win love through her goodness. She presents as having a fairly sound background; no 'issues' or baggage of great worth we feel. Ready like a young foal to learn the ropes and make 'the family pet' of a very worthy family.

"Please note that this dog is currently in kennels and is also available for foster until a 'forever' home is found".

Dior was given the chance of a day out of kennels by one of our volunteer kennel walkers and here is their update:

“Dior's day out - her tail didn't stop wagging - apart from sleeping on the way back to the kennels!

Dior is a fun loving girl - she wants to say hello to everyone & everything, once the initial excitement wears off, settles down very nicely! She does mouth and jump - but that's youth for you, she responds well to the ahh, or sshh noises and soon stops! She wants to play with any dogs she meets. She has obviously been loved - as she welcomes everyone with a wag and bouncing to say hello. She sits and gives her paw for a treat. We think she will learn quickly given a bit of time and love as all she wants to do is please. Overall a very happy little girl, she'll make someone a lovely friend”.

Dior was quiet and Lynne would go find her and there she would be just peace .. with one exception when a cat walked by the bay window!!! :roll:

Always the super model ...

We had some new volunteer walkers down at the kennels today. Here is their update on Dior and a few pics:

“Thanks Alison for showing us the ropes today.

Dior was a delight to take out today. She wasnt impressed by the weather and she loved being picked up and given a cuddle to avoid the big water puddle!

She was great at the pub while we had a coffee and also coped very well with the noisy traffic when we walked back.

Here are some photos”

An update from the kennels ...

"Dior was desperate to go out for a walk today. She was initially very excited but soon calmed down.

She was a bit shocked to meet sheep in a field during her walk today. She was un-nerved by them and refused to walk past them.

Going over the stiles was a challenge as she wasn't keen on getting her feet wet in the puddles and tried to go through it!

By the end of the walk she was more settled and we had a quick cuddle in the field before we headed back to the kennels".

Cathy, Tina D & I both had some time walking Dior yesterday. She is such a responsive girl and it's so easy to get her to focus on you. First time I've really got to see her properly and she is one of the two that I would have taken home with me had I the right circumstances. I love them all, but there are always a few that stand out and you make a connection with.

Tina D did see her in action today though - thankfully! She was in the process of climbing over the top of the kennels into Marie's! Fortunately Tina managed to catch her in the act and she has been moved to stop her antics!

Here is the cheeky monkey ...

Mothering Sunday and Lynne chose Dior as the dear soul she wanted to spend time with.

“My heart bleeds, she has lost so much weight and waits.. waits and waits ... she is a fantastic dog so why no home? What can you say to our dogs when they gaze into your eyes and they dig their heels in as you walk towards the kennel block? Hold on, hold on, we love you”.

Dior would really benefit from a foster home and some TLC until her forever home is found.
