Winnie – Now Adopted!

We have some very exciting news and that Winnie is home!!
Gorgeous girl Winnie didn't have the best start to life, at the age of 2 she was found wondering the streets and ended up in Kennels
Thankfully, the kennels were local to our lovely rescue coordinator Helen, so once Winnie's 7 days hold was up she left her street days behind her and started her new life as a GBSR doggie
Winnie had a well needed pamper weekend with Helen before moving to the South East to join Teresa and her family. Thank you to both Helen and Teresa for starting Winnie's foster journey.
Winnie had one final journey to make, she moved up to the midlands to join Michelle and Mark
We could quickly see that Winnie stole their hearts with her sassy behaviour and her determination to get her bum firmly settled on the sofa
When it came time for us to open Winnie's applications, Michelle and Mark asked if they could make Winnie an offical part of their family and of course, we couldn't say no!
Winnie has already shown she is going to make the best foster sister to all the GBSR babies in need by taking Odin under her wing, we can't wait to see her flourish as she continues to settle
Please help us congratulate, Michelle and Mark on their new little girl, Winnie!
Winnie, enjoy your happy ever after sweet girl! We couldn't be happier you have found your forever family and sofa
Please welcome a gorgeous new addition to our Springboard Family …Winnie is 2 years’ old and is another girl left to fend for herself on the streets having been bred from
You won’t be surprised to hear Winnie’s microchip hasn’t been registered – of course it hasn’t..!!!
But her previous life is well and truly behind her now as she embarks on her Springboard journey with us
Winnie came into foster with GBSR Rescue Co-ordinator Helen Diggins, after her 7 days stay at a kennels on Friday.
Winnie had a hot spot, her nails were overgrown, she had itchy skin and she stank to high heaven.
So, over the weekend, with the help of her girls, Helen bathed Winnie 3 times to help with her skin which was sore with untreated allergies. Winnie was only pit stopping at Helen’s as we needed to get her out of the kennel situation, but the weather was so hot we didn’t want her travelling far, so Helen offered to have her over the weekend until she could travel when it was cooler.
Then yesterday, foster volunteer Teresa Day collected Winnie for us, and she is now in foster in the Southeast.
Thank you so much Helen for taking Winnie and short notice for us, and for getting her out of the kennels and to Teresa who has kindly offered to foster Winnie for us – huge gratitude to you both
Winnie had a settled first night and today she had her vet check.
She will need to continue with medicated baths and steroids, and she might possibly need surgery on her tail which is very strange (see pic) and we are also looking at the possibility of surgery for entropion.
But she is the happiest little girl, and we think she is loving being out of kennels and in a comfortable home with a decent diet
Obviously, we will need to investigate having Winnie spayed but for now we are just going to let her settle and get her allergies under control
So please welcome this adorable girl into the arms of GBSR and we are looking forward to watching her journey with us
