π Our First Adoption Story β Major ππΎ
When we opened New Leash Of Life Dog Rescue back in April, the very first dog through our doors was Major, a beautiful young German Shepherd, just under a year old.
If we're honest, it was a daunting time. We were only just starting out, with minimum foster homes lined up and especially none suitable for a big strong dog. Then one of our incredible, experienced foster carers stepped forward and changed everything.
Major had very little socialisation, almost no training, and was a lot of hard work. She dedicated a whole month to him, giving him the time, patience, structure and love he needed to begin his new life.
Fast forward to today, and Major has been in his forever home for two weeks. His new family absolutely adore him, and he loves them just as much. They're continuing his training, and when I saw him last night to complete his adoption, I was honestly speechless. He was like a completely different dog. The progress he's made is incredible.
Major will always hold a special place in our hearts as the very first dog to come into New Leash of Life Dog Rescue, and our very first adoption success π
Thank you to everyone who has been part of Major's journey. This is exactly why we do what we do, and we can't wait to help many more dogs find their own new life. π
