This is a little progress video taken of moments from the last 3 days.
Hope arrived at my place late Friday afternoon.
She had been rescued by German Shepherd Rescue NSW, along with 4 other German Shepherds.
Hope didn’t have a name, was very fearful, skinny, disheveled and unhandled.
Hope is making massive progress,
As you can see, in the start of this little video, she is very timid, and over the next few days, learns to walk with me in heel off lead, is raising her head up (making eye contact), and coming in for affection.
I’ll update the page with another video as she progresses.
(Unless she is adopted beforehand).

She is the sweetest, gentlest creature.
Would suit someone calm and gentle.

Hope is up for adoption with German Shepherd Rescue NSW
Feel free to contact them if you’re interested in adopting this beautiful majestic creature.

(She’ll get a bath and a proper brush soon, when she’s ready for it.
Everything in its right time!)

Jimmy getting started on sheep.
Letting that natural instinct do its thang!

Jimmy was a very nervous dog when his owners adopted him, but with patience and dedication they invested in their relationship with Jimmy, steadily building his confidence back.
He’s really finding his place!
It’s a special experience to see a transformation like that.
It’s like watching a small seed grow into a mighty tree!
Much respect to his owners!

Viper is an 8 year old, neutered, American Staffordshire terrier.
Viper came to us at the start of the week, and will stay with us for a bit, so he can get prepared for the next phase in his life.
As you can see, he’s a big love bug , and picking up basic obedience very quickly for an older fella.
Who says “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” 🙂

VIPER IS UP FOR ADOPTION!

This is big sweet goofy Odi, a 4 year old male, looks to be an American Bulldog x BullArab? Mix.
He’s a big # loveable bloke.

he sits, stays & goes to his bed on cue.
He’s very bright and keen to comply,
And more than anything he’s very affectionate, and will make a loyal companion.
