Her Story: Rona was surrendered into Battersea as an 8 month old pup. We took her on as a mature young lady who had learnt to accept kennel life, but was hoping for much more. Short term foster Dec 09 with another dog and cats.

Salient points: Young cross breed, elegant, medium size dog. Lurcher type frame off lead in right situations. Confidence improving with dogs inside and out....and cat friendly. A bit of a food thief; can bust a crate if left in one! Needs work on being left for increasing periods. Ideally to live with male dog.

Advert: Rhona is so lovely. Yes really lovely. Everyone who meets her finds an emergent smile appearing on their face. She has proved herself to be a very versatile dog since coming into our rescue. She is picking up merit badges responding well to training. Her foster brother taught her to 'chill' which she found a different experience to the 'chill' she had come to know in winter kennels. She has also learnt to play; be more confident around dogs and people generally. Fostered with cats and teenagers!

Rhona has matured in kennels so her foster placement has allowed her to catch up on missing experiences and bring it all together. She made  wonderful advances and will make the most wonderful pet. In fact what else could you ask for in a dog? She offers everything. Yes she still is learning to respect living in a house again eg had the bin over a few times! She busted out of her crate when left initially, but proved 'hey you can trust me you truly can'. She needs to be kept focused and so older children would be best whilst she learns not to leap up in enthusiasm.  Rhona is almost there...where is there?... in with her own lucky family!
