Adopting a Rescue?

Yay! Pictures please! Hope Baer and her will become good friends. I love her name.

Here are a few pictures of Roxy that I managed to get. She's so loving and sweet. Her only downfall is trying to steal food, but we are working on that (and if that's her only downfall, then awesome LOL). We shall see how she does her first night, but I don't anticipate any issues. She just seems too good to be true

She looks happy~ Enjoy the weekend with her!

So the first night went well.... I put a baby gate up at the end of the hall so she would have access to the hall and our room. Well... She (or the cat) knocked it down. When my dear sweet 7 year old told me this morning, the first thought was 'oh no'. After walking around the house and realizing NOTHING was chewed, gotten into, and she didn't have any accidents I was thrilled! Next step is seeing how she is alone if we all go out....

You don't have a crate? Did they use one in her foster or rescue? I would rather crate her for now until she gets to know you...it can be her 'safe place'.
She is very pretty, by the way!

Congrats on a successful introduction!
BTW term is purebred -- the term "quart low" is usually a joke about intelligence not level of blood in the dog - most dogs are "full blooded" unless they have suffered an injury or recently donated blood. Example both my dogs are full blooded although one is a mutt of undetermed parents. My purebred GSD & my purebred quarter horse are full blooded - as was my grade mare.

But Roxy looks like she's settling in nicely. I hope that continues once she is fully adjusted.

No, we don't have a crate for her. She wasn't kenneled before either. I didn't put anything up to block her last night, and she was amazing. I put a blanket down for her to sleep in our room, so she has her spot in our room. She followed me into the room last night, saw me get into bed, and immediately went to her spot. Her and Baer are getting along a lot better, mostly ignoring each other LOL. This morning, she laid down in front of my 3 year old and showed her belly looking at her like 'ya gonna rub my belly?' I thought that was the sweetest thing, and showed my daughter how we rub the puppy's belly. If we're in the Living Room, she is either at my feet in front of the couch, or she lays in this one particular spot where she can see what is going on around her and see us. She's testing her boundaries as she gets more comfortable, but all we have to do is tell her 'no' and she walks away from whatever it is she's doing. All in all, she seems to be adjusting extremely well and we couldn't be happier with her! *does happy dance*
