MAX alias Trooper
Max was 16 months old when Labrador Rescue adopted him - he had been caged for 16 months and wasn't in good health. He had a skin problem and was underweight. He also lacked muscle due to no exercise and being caged for so long. His coat was dull and it appeared his spirit was gone.
Max didn't know what a collar and lead were for and he was allegedly not very good with other dogs and hopeless with cats. After putting Max into foster care for some TLC and a few trips to the Vets, Max met his new owners. They instantly fell in love with him and he with them. The rest is history as they say.
When Max was re homed his new owners took him to training. He very quickly developed a deep bond with his new owners, particularly his dad and excelled at training and within 4 months had progressed from Elementary class to the Advanced class. Max is often used at training to show people what can be done with a dog who has no obedience - when they find out he is a rescue dog and his previous circumstances they are amazed at his skills.
Max is a very loyal Labrador who has more than repaid his new owners with the love, joy and devotion he constantly gives them - he could not have found a better home than where he is. He is a very happy Labrador now and also a very handsome chap. He had a hard time for 16 months but since then he has been shown nothing but love and understanding. Max's owners think there is no one in the world quite like their beloved Max. He also likes other dogs and cats and is never happier than when his Dad is hiding his dummy in long grass for him to retrieve. |
The
boat on the left arrived in Shetland with 2 very special
passengers on board - two beautful black labradors called
Bonny and Molly. Due to a sad change of circumstances these
lovely dogs had to be rehomed. They took it all in their
stride, the car journey from Glasgow to Aberdeen and then
the ferrry to Shetland. Bonny and Molly are both 1 year
old and unrelated - Bonny sadly is blind and Molly is her
very own guide dog hence the reason they had to be rehomed
together. When both dogs were collected from the ship they
went willingly with their new owners and automatically jumped
into the boot of the car. They then had a 15 minute journey
to their new home - you will see how at home they are in
the photo of them on the couch. We at rescue are eternally
grateful to Bonny and Mollys new owners who went to so much
trouble for these lovely dogs and adapted so many things
in their home for Bonnys benefit to make life easier for
her. Although Bonny is blind she has a great love of life
- and it was quite an emotional moment for her owners to
watch her swim in the sea for the first time- a new experience
for them both - and infact Bonny was the first one into
the water! They are now both experienced sea dogs. These
are much loved labradors who are a constant joy to their
very special owners
