Following the sad loss of our beloved boxer / cross dog just before his 16th birthday we decided to get another dog, this is her story so far.
TOYAHS TALE
She had been straying in the Cookstown area for a couple of weeks, a man took her in and looked after her for a couple of days then handed her into the Pound. Amber was being brought in to be destroyed as no one had reported her missing during those 2 weeks.
One of the assis supporters helps with Assisi's "Chance of a Lifetime" by calling at the Cookstown Pound and rescuing dogs that are due to by destroyed. http://www.assisi.dnet.co.uk
She asked for the GS and the Dog Warden was happy to hand her over to their care. She was in very poor condition extremely thin and was put on a special diet to build her up, once she had gained some weight, they got her vaccinated, vet checked and she was pronounced fit to travel, they took her across to Kenilworth Dogs Trust.http://www.dogstrust.org.uk/
At Kenilworth Amber was neutered, she was ill for a while so was put on a special diet, but soon became well enough to be rehomed.
Amber was renamed Toyah by us and slowly put on weight and has become a much loved member of our family, she is believed to be approx four years.
We have had her over a year now and cant imagine life without her!
