Pets of the week

Lahni
Dog of the Week: Lahni

ID A123369

This week marks one full year of our boy Boss (featured in this article last week) staying with us at our shelter; obviously an unenviable milestone. 

So while Boss gets the attention, we want to highlight some other adult dogs who more than done their fare share of time at our animal shelter. Starting with Lahni.

This girl is a great example of what constant companionship, walking and playing can do for a dog. She was a nervous girl when she arrived as a pregnant mum but here we are, nine months after she arrived and she’s a snuggly people-lover.

She’s come so far and when you realise we’ve made a great pet out of her in a noisy, busy animal shelter, imagine the progress she’ll make in a cozy home environment? Lahni will love you if you let her.

Dog of the week: Indi

ID A123975

Just like Lahni, Indi has become one of our favourites (we are not allowed to have favourites and never would but also yes we have favourites). Heading into Indi’s larger yard to hang out and play with her is a daily highlight for our staff and volunteers.

Indi, a 3-year old Bull Arab has been with us for more than eight months and is just a fun girl, lots of energy but she also oozes affection. 

Playing fetch is her thing, she’ll do it for hours and she has shown great progress in accepting other dogs but that’s almost always a work in progress for a dog who’s spent this amount of time in an animal shelter.

Remember, when adopting an older “long-term” dog, we can tell you almost everything about them and give you a huge likelihood of making your new relationship a successful one that lasts forever.

Come and see.
