The adoption is going well !!
He's been with us for a week & a half, and is settling in very well. Our last dog was also a rescue, and was less then a year old. Unfortunately, he developed an unpredictable aggressive streak, and we had to consult dog behaviourists. When he bit Mrs Tiggi quite badly on the face, we chose to return him to the rescue centre. They assessed him, and decided his aggression levels were too high for rehoming, and opted to put him down. This was all very sad, & I'm still pretty raw about it all.
The new dog - now named Floyd - is such a lovely, gentle dog. So far we've had no problems whatsoever. We're just introducing him to our cat, and it's going unbelievably well (The cat wouldn't go anywhere near the last dog).
So, all in all it's going better than we'd hoped.
