Cara has now found a home !!<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

We are so pleased to report that Cara has finally found a home after over two years in the Rescue in which time she changed a lot form the fearful girl she was.
\nShe now lives on a smallholding with Ann in the New Forest.
\nCara is enjoying keeping the untidy birds in place!<\/p>\n

Very, very early the other morning Claire and I took the dogs to the beach.
\nCara has never been swimming before and Claire being a good sport volunteered to take her into the sea ( I stayed dry on the shore )
\nFor Cara the sea must have felt fantastic on her skin and cooled her down.
\nShe is wondering if Claire will volunteer to take her in again….<\/p>\n

Cara is now out of ‘rehab’ after her operation of having 19 teeth removed and is now looking for a permanent home.<\/p>\n

We will not allow Cara to go to a home with young children and please do not phone us about her if you have young children.
\nShe is a working Collie with a strong Collie eye but we would really like a loving home to come forward for her who can give her the time and patience that she needs.<\/p>\n

Cara has been with us for a year.
\nShe arrived last October a scared dog who had been ill treated for most of her life.
\nIn the time she spent living with Kevin and Gaby they built her confidence up and got her to the point that she could have a slip lead put on and go off the lead. In August she came to stay at the Rescue with Helen while Kevin and Gaby went on holiday, she has stayed here so she can get used to the company of more dogs.
\nNow she will allow a lead to be put on her collar.<\/p>\n

It is so sad that all of these dogs are once puppies eager to experience the joys of life and have this either beaten out of them or are kept confined in stinking holes of accommodation until they become fearful and snappy.
\nBut why are we be surprised by this when we cannot even treat each other any better as a kindred species.
\nSince being here at the Rescue I have got her to the point that I can put a muzzle on her and take her to the vet to have a general anesthetic to have her booster brought up to date and her rotten teeth looked at.
\nIt turns out that she had several cracked teeth , a rotten one and that every other one of her teeth has a hole in it. Have any of you reading this had a rotten tooth ? Because if you have you will know the pain she has been in.
\nCara has had a full dental and the cracked and rotten tooth taken out.
\nShe now needs to go to a specialist who will fill the others.
\nThis damage has happened because she has was either confined and spent a long time chewing on bars trying to get out OR she was kicked in the mouth and infection set in – never treated this led to cavities in all of her teeth.
\nWe are going to have this remedied and Cara will feel like a new dog.
\nAlready, with only painkiller everyday and a couple of them taken out she is already allowing Helen to stroke her for longer than she has before.<\/p>\n

We will not allow Cara to go to a home with young children and please do not phone us about her if you have young children.
\nShe is a working Collie with a strong Collie eye but we would really like a loving home to come forward for her who can give her the time and patience that she needs.
\nShe will not be ready to go until she has had all her treatment and has had time to get over it.<\/p>\n

Cara continues to do well here at the Rescue.
\nShe is meeting new dogs daily and even though sometimes takes a while to get used to them she is much better than she used to be.
\nShe has now stopped following Jimbo everywhere and likes to run with the other dogs
\n( Jimbo is pleased with this as he was becoming bored with her attention to him )
\nShe is meeting new people all the time and going up to them to be stroked.
\nCara is indeed a lovely dog, a little nervous still due to her abusive past but much better than she was when she first came into the rescue.
\nKevin and Gaby her foster parents put a lot of time and effort into her when she was with them and now she is in a dog busy house she is coming on in leaps and bounds with her socialisation.<\/p>\n

Cara is staying at the rescue with Helen while Kevin and Gaby her foster parents are on holiday.
\nCara has been with us since last October.
\nShe had been very badly treated and was snappy with dogs and people sometimes.
\nIn the time she has fostered with Kevin and Gaby they have done a lot with her and she is much better.
\nShe still doesn’t like to be taken by the collar ( with badly treated dogs this is usually done before they get a belting )
\nShe has settled in here well and is socialising with the other five dogs at the rescue and today went out for a walk with Claire’s four as well.
\nShe really is very sweet and wants to be petted but is just a bit unsure at first.
\nShe is fascinated by Jimbo she can’t make him out at all.
\nHe looks like a dog but is toooo small to be one and he thinks he is a Rottweiler which is most confusing for her<\/p>\n

Cara is a very loving dog.
\nIn spite of a very bad attack by another dog she has settled in well with our dog. Likes a lot of walking and is excellent both on and off the lead – her recall is brilliant.
\nWould be a loving addition to your home.<\/p>\n

Cara has been with us 2 weeks now.
\nSettled in with the family immediately but was wary of our dog.
\nThey kept a distance from each other but now cuddle up – sometimes!
\nExcellent on the lead and obeys commands well.
\nWhen she gets used to other dogs she will be a great companion.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cara is a one and a half year old Collie type,
\na little nervous of other dogs due to being attacked a while ago.
\nShe is fostering with Kevin and Gaby and DAWGdog Glen.
\nMore to follow as she settles down and we get to know her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
