People's posts are never too long about this fantastic breed of dog - it is great to have an insight into these dogs through the eyes of an experienced owner. It is heart warming to read of people who are so kind, loving, and giving to our dogs which they have rescued from RR and to dogs in general.

We fostered an elderly dog Harvey for RR a few years ago ...he had always been an only dog and lived with his owner for all of his life ..he was about 13 ...he fitted in with my 4 dogs with no problem. ..these older dogs do usually adapt to another home quite quickly as long as they are given space and time ...and heleny i couldnt agree more that everyone is grateful this boy isn't in kennels

How could anyone resist that frosty face?!? Nero was happy to be lifted into the back of my car, he was a bit bewildered when we arrived home but explored the garden with great enthusiasm, the steps and different levels were no problem - his eyesight seems pretty good and, with a stumble here and there, his little legs carry him at quite a pace!
After a little while to settle, he slept soundly all night (and was fast asleep when I checked on him at 7am)
He loves his walks and happily walks parallel with our dogs but is not keen on them in the house, he is in a pen in the lounge at the moment to see how they settle but would much prefer free roam of the house and garden - he is such a sweet old man, not grumpy but a proper character! I hope his perfect retirement home is not far away...Re: Nero Patterdale DofB 16.11.05 Dormansland Temp Foster
Thank you for taking him home ...the oldies are so special

OMG OMG, what a fantastic find. Not only has Nero been able to spend the weekend with a foster carers and some other dogs, but his name appears to now be on the reserved for adoption list. Thank you SO much for having him for the weekend and giving the little fellow a bit of respite and peace. If there is someone out there who wants to give Nero the life he deserves, then my prayers for him have been answered. This news will lift all of our hearts. Yesterday I was reduced to tears of sorrow for Nero and now, there are tears of joy and gratitude all over Siri, Louie and me. Faith steps in.
