JeanS Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 We collect URSA this afternoon from the SPA in Gueret. She's about 8yrs old - we think she a Griffon. She's been there for over three years and is very timid - so when visitors come she's passed by.We hope that with a lot of love and attention she'll come out of her shell and be adopted. So far she's had a walk round the garden on the lead - mustn't let her off in case she does a runner. Our dog - Amber, keeps going to her, but as yet no response. So here's hoping we can do some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Good luck!At first I thought you had adopted a bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jouals Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Hello JeanSVery best of luck with Ursa - I am sure you know that you will find plenty of info about caring for a rescue dog if you do a search on Google etc. Give it time and patience, and you should make progress. A timid hunting dog can take a while to adjust. You are right to keep Ursa on a lead until you are 100 per cent sure of recall! Keep us posted!!Jouals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanS Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Very sad day for me - first my mum passed away and second, despite efforts from Jackie to find a temporary foster home, we had to return URSA to the SPA - we're heartbtroken because she had come on so much in a week, from a timid little thing to a dog who wagged her tail and loved cuddles. Just hope some-one will open their hearts to her. I have sent her details to doglinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine Animal Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 From me too Jean. It is so terrible to lose your parents, especially when they are far and you can't be with them as much as you would like. A very sad time for you.Do you have photo of Ursa you can put on here, or maybe Merlin will? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanS Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 I tried putting one on with my post but wasn't very succesful. However she is now on www.doglinks.comThanks to every one for their condolences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Jean - so sorry to hear about your mother. but just to let you know I delivered Ursa to her lovely new home this afternoon. I collected her from the SPA yesterday (and the 24 hours she was there she shared her box with a young puppy who arrived the day you collected her) She spent the night with my 4 - no problems at all. She has 2 new friends now - another girl Griffon and a boy Labrador, who accepted her straight away. She already knows her new owners as they walked her several times at the SPA earlier in the summer. Dog Links is up to speed with all this.
