Mim
How did you hear about Mim?
I came across BDRUK from another site online. While this is the first time I have rehomed from BDRUK, all my dogs have been rehomed from other circumstances.
How did you prepare for your Mim’s arrival?
Talking through the adoption pre home check enabled me to ensure things were in place for Mim. We have amended a few things for her needs while she has been with us, but all in all that has been low scale as she has adapted to her surrounding extremely well. Mim has access to anywhere she needs in the house and there are no restrictions other than if needed for her safety.
Initial impression of Mim?
Mim arrived on the 19th October, by car with her foster Mom. Mim’s tail wagged the moment she arrived and doesn’t stop wagging! We could instantly see she was a happy and friendly dog and although had a small amount of trepidation with taking in her new surroundings, she settled down remarkably well. Mim had a meal on the first evening and settled down through the night with no stress or issues of any kind.
How did introductions with your other dog go?
There was no aggression shown by Mim or our resident dog (Teddy), just the normal ‘not sure’ approach at first, but they are comfortable with each other and get along absolutely great. Teddy allows Mim space and doesn’t encroach on her when she is moving around in the house or when eating. They often lay together, both snoring away.
How is Mim doing now?
Mim is doing absolutely great, she is a wonderful addition to our doggy family and is such a joy to have with us. She has adapted amazingly well in the home and gets about in the garden really well. Mim loves walks and makes endearing little sounds of excitement when we get out. Mim is a gentle, calm, happy, confident, intelligent little dog, eats well and loves a snooze, especially after a good walk. We talk to her a lot and she responds so much to our voices, which obviously helps her with having no sight and it is truly marvellous just how well she has adapted to this, so she is marvellous Mim!!
I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to Mim’s foster Mom, for bringing Mim to us all the way from Norfolk. Thank you doesn’t feel enough, but I wish her to know we are so grateful and Mim’s happy confident ways are also down to how she has been cared for her. Mim is a treasure and is loved very much. Thank you to all within BDRUK for all you do.
