This lovely senior Dobergirl came to us from a home where her human could no longer keep his dogs. The relative who contacted us says this about Allura and her companion canine: “Great dogs! Well cared for. Never a problem. They were to the vet every January for annual check ups. I wish you could take these dogs and get them a good home. I would take them but my Lab-Pitt does not share well.”
That was about all we knew until she arrived at Elijah’s House, and we learned what a lovely girl she is.
Observations from our volunteers: “Allura is a petite girl who’s had a bit of an unstable living environment. She has a remarkably calm disposition and initially is cautious when meeting new people. Once she gets to know you, the lovable, playful girl comes to life. Be prepared for kisses and an eagerly wagging tail!
“While I don't know much about Allura's past, I can tell that she is a sweetheart. She is a bit shy as she is adjusting to her new surroundings, but I could see her comfort with me clearly increased in the small amount of time I spent with her. Having not been introduced to her, she was naturally hesitant when I intruded on her privacy, but I could tell she really wanted companionship. She is quiet, but super observant. She doesn't miss a thing, and you can see the wheels turning in her head as she is processing all this new information. As a DRT volunteer for over seven years, I can tell that she is the type that will be a best friend and always at your side. From what I’ve seen, it’s apparent to me that she’ll adapt to her new home and family within a day or two and establish a permanent loving, trusting bond - a Dobe that will give more love and joy than she requires.”
There’s nothing that needs to be added other than to reemphasize that this is a lovely girl who will make an outstanding companion. If you think she is a fit for your home, simply follow the regular sequence: apply, acceptance, appointment, arrive, acquaint, away.
She won’t be with us long. |
