When we went up to see Zena for the first time, my breeder didn't want me to have her coz I'm what she calls a "pet" home and she's never sold to one of us before, so she told me to just come up and if she liked me, then I could possibly have her! Anyways, when I asked her WHY she caved in and let me take her home, she said it was because when we first arrived, and she let out all 3 adult dogs and the two puppies, she noticed how we both immediately got on the floor and let ourselves be flattened
, and she just knew that we were most definitely shepherd peops! You'll know too when you meet up!!!

I hope that if she doesn't really interact with them much that it doesn't put them/you off.
When I first met Stone in the rescue I spent a lot of time with him from the minute he came in - for the first few days he looked straight through me. He would come over and say hi but you could see he had no idea who I was and just was not interested. Couple of days later he was waiting for me to arrive each morning and that's when we became inseparable!

i always admire people that rescue, animals. especially if the background is not known, thankfully the new owner will know all there is to know about Zelda's up bringing 'Spoilt'
