Re: Wanderly – 5yr old Lab x *HOMED*

[PawsitiveDogTraining]

Picked Wanderly up earlier to drop him off to Carolyn….he is a real sweetie! Seems like he had some training as he was able to obey ‘sit’ and ‘paw’ for a biscuit. Even though he’s big, he was really well behaved on lead. If i could, I would take him…gorgeous boy

This guy has settled in great….he loves other dogs and is very well behaved.

He has ulcers in his mouth and is on antibiotics. He also has a growth on his mouth which needs to be investigated and removed so please say a prayer that all goes well and he will be back to his happy self soon

Well….. Wanderly (We have renamed him Dougie for short!) is an absolute pet! He really is such a gent, he is getting on great so far with our two and also all of our farm yard animals. He is a handsome boy and looks very much like a retriever except he is black and tan.

I think he has come from a home with kids as he is very gentle around them- see pix (our nieces and nephew). He is well trained, will sit & give the paw and is used to being in the house.

Have a lovely video of him that I will try to upload

Jesus Carolyn, the difference in him since we picked him up from the pound! He looks like a completely different dog, i would never have picked him out of a line up! Obviously you’re doing something right there!
I hope he finds a forever home soon, he’s a gorgeous dog. I think my other half would have kept him if we had a place of our own!
Hats off to you Carolyn! X

He is a beauty alright! thanks L His coat is sooooo shiny now, Paul gave him a good scrubbin

Picked up gentle dougie from the vets yesterday afternoon, all went well, Vet has aged him between 3 & 5. He was feeling a little sorry for himself (see pic), which is allowed!! but I brought him home and spoiled him rotten for the evening. He is most definitely back to his happy self this morning

Fantastic, Carolyn!! He looks great.

Great video Carolyn..he seems like a chilled dog. He’s very lucky to have found you all.

Well Dougie has settled in perfectly, we would hardly even notice he is here. He gets on great with our two bowseys and has no issues with chickens, pigs or horses

He is a complete pet and has lots of gentlemanly manners!

I think Dougs would be suitable for any type of home… with kids, without kids, a couple, single person. I feel he would fit in just about anywhere. He would also suit a home with other dogs / pets or a home without.

Hi,

Just wondering how Dougie is doing ? Hope he has fully recovered from his health issues. He looks like and sounds like a lovely fellow. We’ve only recently registered and are awaiting to hear from DID about adopting.

best regards

Hi JedandEd Thanks for asking about Dougie, He is doing just great and is 100%. He is such a pet…. and literally follows me around the place… He is so placid and laid back I think he would be perfect for a therapy dog! have attached some photos below.

best regards,

Eamonn and Fionnuala.

Well….. as you can see from the subject dougie love is reserved!!! He was a lucky boy to have two very lovely visitors to see us last week.

I really cant say enough what a pet this little (big) man is. He really is an absolute dote of a dog. I think this is gonna be a match made in heaven

[PawsitiveDogTraining]

Aw, I am so happy to hear that he has been reserved! He’s such a big sweet softie! Can’t wait to hear that he’s gone to his new home!

[JedandEd]

Hi all, collected Dougie (now Buddy) from his lovely foster home yesterday. He was excellent in the car on the way home, very chilled. He walked into his new home as if he lived here all his life. He enjoyed his walk around Killiney Hill yesterday evening picking up on all the new smells and sounds and slept soundly in his bed all night. The 3 of us spent the day just chilling out in the garden today. Will post some photos in the coming days.
