| Finding Shelby a new home was one of the more difficult choices we have ever had to make as a family; however, her dog/food aggression issues seemed only be to be getting worse. I honestly did not think my candor about our situation would yield any responses whatsoever: I was completely wrong. Not even five hours after I posted information about Shelby on Rescue Me!, I was contacted by the Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier Rescue of Southern California. They were extremely positive, reassuring and hopeful that Shelby could, in fact, be rehabilitated and re-homed to a fitting family. This happened on a Wednesday, and by Friday of the same week, Shelby was evaluated by a specialist (on behalf of the Wheaten Rescue), passed with flying colors, and taken by them for rehabilitation. They assured us they would find Shelby a good home and contact us when all was said and done. We could not have been more grateful, relieved, and happy for Shelby. Also, I received numerous responses from families still interested in Shelby in spite of her recorded bite and food-aggression; had the Wheaten Rescue not intervened, I do believe I still would have been able to find the right family to suit her special needs using only Rescue Me! Thank you, thank you. | |  |
