does she need a doggie friend?

[ChipsXJ]

no friends with dogs that would be 'good' to visit.

We do plan on getting some training classes as well as training at home to occupy her mind and needs.

She gets along great with dogs and cats...........overall very well considering the ordeal she has lived through.

We will introduce in neutral territory..........I do not think there will be any aggression issues..........I was just kind of concerned whether a doggie friend would help her with 're-hab' or do more harm.

I will look into the greyhound rescue as you advised.

Thanks for the quick response.

I believe "right" doggie friend would help, once she has been declared heartworm free. A stable, but young enough to still be playful dog would help. Just make sure it isn't an aggressive dog, one that is too dominant, or one she is afraid of. Some dogs will be afraid of dogs bigger than they, some afraid of dogs smaller than they are, so you'll have to try a couple matches to see how she does.
