Mandy & Elley

She fit in very quickly in the family. For the first week or so, she was a little unsure, and it took about that long for her personality to start shining through.

She fit in very quickly in the family. For the first week or so, she was a little unsure, and it took about that long for her personality to start shining through. She didn’t really eat much for the first couple of days which was a little concerning, but it was quite hot and I have realised that was mostly the cause. Now she eats like a champ and loves dinner time.

Elley is a beautiful girl who loves her cuddles. I feel like we bonded almost immediately, and she is now a leaning shadow of love and gorgeousness at my side. Her zoomies are hilarious, she has such a joyful personality. When I get home from work, she greets with such enthusiasm and love, it warms my heart. I decided to foster because I lost my beautiful boy Bronx in September and I wasn’t sure if I was ready for another dog. Elley has been the perfect fit for me, and I decided to adopt her because I couldn’t imagine life without her after a couple of weeks. She is part of the furniture now and has a very special place in my heart.

Attached is my fave picture so far of her. We don’t have any family ones yet sorry, but I am looking forward to a wonderful life with her and lots of memories.

I would highly recommend fostering to anyone thinking about getting one of these wonderful puppahs!

Love Mandy

Bud

4 years old

This handsome young man has found his way back into GAP's care due to no fault of his own. Bud is looking for his new forever home and preferably one with a yard as he enjoys his time outside and sometimes just wants to sit an smell the flowers. A quiet home life is more up Bud's alley as he can be a little worried by lots of noise, he also isn't a big fan of the car so someone that isn't hoping for a road trip buddy would be best. He loves his walks and gets along well with other dogs. He has been in a home as an only dog for a while but can sometimes become a little lonely and bored so a new home with another friend to hang out with might be his perfect fit, or someone that is home more often than a full-time worker. He may also be ok living with children 10 and over.
