Beautiful Sian, rest in peace special girl.

Sian's story

- this young lady has had more than her fair share of troubles.  She came so close to death but was saved by the efforts of the Hereford & Worcester Animal Rescue this is how Carol from HWAR tells her story:

 " Sian was found wandering out in the country and was taken to the Pound with some difficulty by the Dog Warden. She was growly and snappy, clearly terrified, and they immediately had her down as a 'put to sleep'. I didn't get to meet her for a few days but heard from dog wardens and kennel people about the aggressive dog in the kennels.

With some apprehension I went out to meet her.  I walked up and down the kennels looking for the 'aggressive' dog, I couldn't find one, so I asked the kennel owner to point her out,  "look at her baring her teeth' he said, Sian was smiling!!!!!.

Over the next few days I spent some time with her, she would snap if you touched her a certain way or moved your hand suddenly towards her, sometimes she would tolerate being stroked and other times not - and that made it virtually impossible to find a home for her. We had no way of knowing why she behaved this way.  Little in the way of testing can be done in a kennel environment and so, reluctantly, we had to agree with the Dog Warden that it would probably be best if she was put to sleep.

I went home and cried, I just couldn't stop thinking about her. I felt she deserved a chance to enjoy life and know what love is. We had already put an appeal on Dog Pages for her and thank goodness we did !  Dave and Rachel saw it and offered her a chance despite her being so unpredictable.Bear in mind that this was a Friday afternoon
.
Saturday morning we took her from the kennels and she was on her way to safety !

Thank God for Dave and Rachel, Monday morning 9.00am the dog warden was at the kennels to take her to be put to sleep - talk about eleventh hour!!!!.

I will be forever grateful to Poplar Farm Kennels for giving her a new home and a new life - I love all the dogs that come through the pound but Sian is very special.

Sadly our darling Sian has now gone to Rainbow Bridge, we will never forget her.
