Meet Lady!
The Gentle Giant with a Heart of Gold 💖🤗
Lady, a beautiful seven year old German Shepherd, came into our care recently as a stray. This poor girl arrived with a nasty flea allergy, and she was very sore and itchy. Thankfully, following treatment, she is now on the mend. She has been enjoying soothing medicated baths, and her skin is healing beautifully. Every day she is looking and feeling a little more comfortable.
We don’t know anything about Lady’s history, but it is obvious that she has been well fed, as she is rather tubby! We will be monitoring her diet to help her lose a bit of weight, but despite the extra pounds she is very sprightly and will happily trot around in the field.
Lady has the most wonderful temperament. She is gentle, placid and endlessly friendly. She adores everyone she meets – humans and dogs alike. She has already been paired up with another large dog at the kennels and they are getting on wonderfully.
Whilst Lady would be perfectly happy as an only dog, she’d also thrive with a canine companion, subject to careful introductions at our kennels in Buntingford. We are happy that Lady can live with children too, but would prefer older children who will give her time and space to settle in to her new home.
All Lady is asking for is a cosy bed, some gentle walks, and someone who will finally give her the love she has been missing. Could that someone be you?

ADOPTION PROCESS
We have a number of animals in our care. Most are homeless through no fault of their own and are looking for furever homes and owners who can give them the love and attention they deserve.
Please take a few moments to familiarise yourself with our adoption process:
Step 1:
The animal is admitted into our care, and assessed by our team.
Step 2:
The animal is examined by a vet, who treats any ailments or injuries.
Step 3:
The appropriate team leader will liaise with the potential adopter to get to know them and assess whether they are a potential purr-fect match.
Step 4:
The potential new owners meet the animal, and decide if they want to adopt. New owners may be asked to visit the animal several times before the adoption takes place.
Step 5:
A pre-adoption home visit will then be made to new owners home to meet the members of the household and to ensure that the environment is safe.
Step 6:
If the visit goes well, you will be asked to collect the animal and to make an adoption donation (amount on request) as well as to sign an agreement to care for the pet with a commitment to return them to us if you can't continue to do so.
