Will keep you updated.

.....I am so sorry,.. how did I miss this,... thank you for the update, thats good of you, and yes, its always good to get follow-ups

I am convinced that Shiel will make someone a good family dog soon

Taking Shiel out for a couple of hours on Thursday avo Stuart. He is a much more sociable boy already you will be pleased to hear. I spoke to Him in his kennel tody and there was no mad dog barking nonesene and he happily took treats from me

It is nice especially when you get attached to them quickly. Shiel is a smart little cookie that just needs to learn to trust us.

I think Shiel has had plenty of enquiries, so hopefully when he is ready, the right home will turn up for him.

This is great to hear

[Stuart]

I am so pleased to hear this,..the barking when people approached was the only thing holding him back,..if he is begining to overcome this then I am really chuffed

He is a good dog, if I had had the room, I would have taken him in a shot, he is a real good looking dog

Thank you Julie, Kirsty, and anyone else who has taken the time to help him

This is such good news that Shiel is begining to settle down. I keep thinking about him - he definitely has something special. I hope he finds a forever home soon.

Keep your fingers crossed for this beautifull wild lad,... he is off to his new home this weekend, hI understand his new owner is an ex Military/Police dog handler,...so Shiel is about to start enjoying a real home.

I hope it all works out well for him, and that its his home for life,... dispite the fact that he first tried to eat me, I will always have a special spot for him
