Adopted Dogs

It's been a good couple of months for rehoming dogs.  After a really quiet period running up to Xmas, which can be a good thing as we know the dogs aren't going as Xmas presents, interest in our dogs and our work has gained momentum.  12 dogs were rehomed between mid-November and January, and with Tara the GSD gone to her new home yesterday, that totals 6 dogs rehomed in February.  We're really pleased with those figures, considering we are quite a small organisation and that we have to put a lot of work into some of the dogs before they can be rehomed.  We've been really lucky with the quality of the homes as well, perhaps due partly to our careful home checks, which are as much based on the potential dog/owner relationship as the actual home.  We've only had one unsuccessful rehoming since the summer, and that dog found a fantastic new home with one of our volunteers' family within a month of his return, and is now doing really well.
