I brought Adrien home last night from the shelter. She is 60 pounds of solid boxer muscle and a non-stop tongue. She is so people friendly having been in a house with 4 younger kids for the past 1.5 years. She seems to be adjusting and laid down on the comforter I had for her on the floor after a while of coming over to me every minute or 2 for reassurance. She wasn't very happy to be put in her crate at night. At the shelter, she has been in the big dog room and had an indoor run. These things are only about 6'x3', but it is bigger than the XL crate that I put her in with her comforter. She settled down after a while and went to sleep and slept through the night. She is house trained, but as I was reminded by a good friend, it is best to ease the transition.
We are headed to an Austin Boxer Rescue http://www.austinboxerrescue.com/ adoption day event this morning and then back to the shelter because there has been interest in her and she just hasn't gotten an app yet. There was a woman looking seriously last weekend who needed to discuss with her husband and was going to come back this weekend, but let's see what happens. Monica is working on getting her placed with ABR in a few weeks if she hasn't been adopted and until then, she is home with us and KD is very upset staying at the shelter.
