Clear a little spot for me next to you on the couch!
This nine year old wheaten-colored girl is sweet and quiet. Having been adopted from a shelter at five years old, her people recently experienced obstacles that made them need to return her . Poor little Shaila did not adjust well to the shelter environment, but Col. Potter Cairn Rescue swooped in and now she is in a wonderful foster home in Washington state. (Col. Potter rescue will transport the dog to wherever you are….well, maybe not Siberia).
Her foster mom adores her, and chronicles her enormous progress. You can see this on her profile: http://adopt.cairnrescue.com/index.php#6211, where you can also fill out an adoption application. When she was rescued in March, she was timid, but has learned to love being petted, and recently she put her cute little feet on foster mom’s leg to ask for attention. (see her Intake Story at: http://cairnrescue.blogspot.com/2013/03/welcome-shaila-cps-newest-sweetie.html). She is already good with other dogs, house-broken, and in perfect health. Her energy level is great, and she can out walk you! Her leash walking is terrific. Here is a video of Shaila playing with a toy for the first time: http://youtu.be/OjxEThstdBO
These little guys live long lives, so her age should not be a barrier. So, please, go to the site (listed above with her profile), check her out, and fill out an application! This a terrific rescue group, and Cairns are special, amazing pups!
What a wonderful legacy for Matilda. I can just picture her as a Guardian Angel. I hope she can help find a home for this darling little Cairn girl.
If she can, she will!!
What a precious little cairn girl. If you were looking for a perfect companion she certainly would be a great choice. She fits in anywhere.
She looks terrific!
Cairns are so cute! I hope she finds her furever home soon.
I’m so sorry about the loss of your Matilda. What a great way to honor her memory. Thanks for stopping by Pooch Smooches!
Thanks Jackie. I know you went through something similar. Love your blog. Will be back, and want to read your books.
Good luck to that little cutie!
Yes, isn’t she a doll!
You’ve featured adoptable dogs for a long time… I love the idea of Matilda now being a guardian angel to help get these sweet ones adopted.
Yes, that will be her role. Her work is really cut out for her!
