After yesterday's video showing the scope of our current undertaking, we want to remember the positive side of what we do. So for Day 76 in the 100 Days with 100 Dogs we see how Elda is progressing since joining us after being rescued from Police custody - a battle that took two years to win.
Elda Settling In
The lovely Elda continues from strength to strength. Given all that she has been through, she's adapted amazingly well. Her character is starting to reveal itself and she is full of mischief.
Elda loves to interact, in fact, she almost demands it because she still doesn't feel secure enough to be touched. Naturally, we'll continue to let her determine the pace of progress. It's not something to be rushed. She will snuggle up next to me on the sofa as long as I don't try to touch her.
Her whole look has changed. She is such a sweet character that it doesn't bear thinking about how frightened she must have been to get her in the situation she was in. She is now enjoying life and I don't think I've ever met a GSD that uses their nose as much, but after two years in a cell who can blame her?
Elda is currently one of our resident dogs and one who's been through court procedures so we have additional responsibilities for her care. Like other dogs that will never be suitable for re-homing we don't punish them for it, but instead, provide them with a life they can enjoy.
If you'd like to support their lifelong care then you can sponsor resident dogs here:
