An update on Marie from one of our volunteer walkers:

"Marie had great fun at the group walk!! Splish, splash, splosh !!
Poor Jayne's hand must have been dragging on the floor by the end of it.
It was great to see Marie getting to burn off some of her energy.

As Jayne said, all Marie wants is fun filled days and then to curl up on a nice warm rug at the end of the day.






I also took Marie out the next day for nearly an hour and a half. We bumped into Wendy who was out for a walk with her pack on the ranges. Marie was really enjoying running about with Wendy's dogs and was very well behaved. We met some other people with off lead dogs as well and Marie was as good as gold. Don't know who enjoyed the walk more, me or Marie"!





Marie is also available for foster until her forever home is found!

An update from Janet, one of our lovely volunteers:

"Emma and I took Marie out for a long walk today and we all had a brilliant time. She spent a lot of time at the end of the extender lead, trotting along and not pulling at all. She came dashing back to us as soon as she was called nearly every time.

I think the longs walks at the weekend have done her the world of good - time out of her kennel and a change of scenery seems to have made a lot of difference. Today, her tail never stopped wagging and her smile was there for all to see.

Like everyone else who walks Marie, I wish someone would give her a chance. I really think she would settle down when in a proper home and make a new family very happy. She has so much potential and loads of Staffie love to give".

Having a bit of a breather:

Marie is currently in boardimg kennels and would really benefit from some time in a foster home. Are you able to help her?

Updates from Kate & Tony, our volunteers on Marie:

Kate:

Marie had a really lovely long walk as the ranges were open today. She was keen as mustard to get out despite the fact that it was bitterly cold. Once she had run off a bit of her energy she settled into dashing at high speed between puddles and nice smells. The puddles did confuse her today though as they were all frozen over!

As this lovely lady doesn't really do staying still, taking photos is quite hard work so some of these are action shots!



And i'm off!



Almost worn out!



Tony:

Marie was a bit confuzzled by the frozen puddles today! She was jumping on them and they were cracking under her. I let her play on the shallow ones, but I didn't think she would appreciate an icey cold soaking so kept her away from the deeper ones. I also had a bit of a jog with her to let her burn off some steam.







Marie is currently in boarding kennels and she would really love some time in a foster home where she can warm her paws up! If you are able to foster her please get in touch by completing our Fostering questionnaire online.

An update from Janet, one of our volunteers on Marie:

“I had such a giggle with Marie today - I didn't have a lot of time so had to make sure she did plenty of running, I let her go to the end of the extender lead and kept calling her back - every time I called, she came running back to me like a little canon ball, gave me a lick and sat down for her treat.

I never thought it would happen, but today I saw Marie avoid a puddle and stop for a wee!

After 2 walks yesterday, Marie wasn't as 'frantic' today - I think this almost proves that given a good walk every day, she'd settle down very nicely. There must be someone out there who could give her a chance”?








Marie is currently in boarding kennels and would really love a break. Oh what fun to have a lovely walk in the snow and be able to sit by the fire afterwards! If you think you could foster Marie then please complete our Fostering questionnaire online.

An update from one of our kennel volunteers:

“Marie was her usual fun loving self today. A little bundle of joy, we had so much fun with her. Jayne and I let her run around for a while to burn off some energy. Marie then sat very nicely for a couple of treats. She was a bit too wriggly today for cuddles. She cleaned Jayne’s glasses for her though!

Here are some photo's from today. The top two are of Jayne both pre-licking to death and then after trying to catch her breath. Sorry Jayne. I know it's another non-flattering photo”.

Delighted to report that Marie is having a short break from kennels and enjoying some TLC in short term foster home! We are grateful to anyone that is able to offer that kind of break to our and the dogs seem to benefit from it immensely. Marie will go back to kennels as planned on Monday. In the meantime she is making the most of it …

An update from her fosterer:

“The sun is shining and Marie is smiling! A good time is being had by all, although Marie has been very interested in our goldfish at times which has been exciting!!

New sights and sounds are fun and she sleeps through the night - phew!!

Marie loves her walks and has a big fan club amongst out volunteer walkers. Marie has been with us in rescue since September 2009! She has done her time in kennels and really needs a forever home of her own. Marie was given a short break from kennels by one of our volunteers and truly proved herself to be a great family dog.
