I have two of my own dogs at home. Max - a 9yo Staffie x GSD Rescue who has been with us from the very young age of 10 weeks old - and Pepsi - a 6yo ‘Heinz 57’ (both parents were mixed breeds) rescue who has been with us from the age of 6 months old. Max was very lucky and was rescued by the Yorkshire Rose Dogs Trust at a very young age so he was not subjected to anything that has scarred him, however, Pepsi was abandoned on a 14th floor balcony in a crate and her voice was her only way of being fed and she became extremely anxious. My family and myself, and of course Pepsi, have worked very hard to improve her anxieties over time, and she is an amazing little lady with so much love to share. When we have other dogs over to visit, she loves to make sure we are all together as a ‘pack’. I regularly walk friends dogs in the surrounding area and also have friends dogs over to stay with mine as and when needed and they are welcomed by Max and Pepsi as well as my 18yo son 😊.
