Well, I went to see Willie today. Sadly, we did not adopt her.
She is a beautiful, large girl with scars on her nose and a broken tooth. She is very watchful of and attached to her foster Dad (who picked her up from the Chicago Pound). She was there for a while (The Pound) because she was evidence in a drug bust. She was their guard dog. After meeting her, I can't see that she would have been any good at it, she's too nice. She does seem to watch everything happening, but I didn't see any meanness in her. She is very strong. She was sweet, though. The Chicagoland Shepherd director thought that she should not be placed in a home with another female who was so close to her own age. She felt that there would be a dominance issue between the females. The director suggusted a male for my group.
There were some very nice shepherds at the event. The newly rescued were so skinny! It was sad. I wanted to take them all home.
There was a really cute little mix (35 lbs.) that looked like a GSD, but really small. They called her a "pocket Shepherd".
We spent 4 hours with the dogs and I can't believe I didn't bring one home.
I guess Willie wasn't meant to be. I hope they find her a good home. I'm sure they will.
Sue
