I can't believe it's already been 2 years since we got the phone call. We'd given up hope of getting a Spinone from rescue, as they're quite a rare breed and fortunately don't end up in rescue too often.
We'd literally just walked through the door when the phone went. The lady asked if we were still looking for a dog, and if so, we were in a position to take her immediately. After she'd told me all about The Princess, I didn't need to hear any more. She said she'd email a photo, then ring me back. As soon as we saw the photo, that beautiful sad face, we were in love, and when she rang back, I immediately said we'd love to have her.
Arrangements were made for her to come to us the following day, and she duly arrived. She was very withdrawn and shy, didn't seek any affection, and generally looking frightened and bewildered.
It's taken quite a while for her to come out of her shell and gain confidence, but it's been worth all the effort. We adore her, she's been easy to love, and seeing her gradually come out of her shell has been so rewarding. She's even begun to be friendlier towards other dogs, and is quite adventurous when we're out.
All in all, it's been a great experience and one we'd happily do again.
