Playful & placid Lab X ‘Shannon’ loves other dogs, quick to learn & been no trouble whatsoever from day 1 in foster along with her sister.Exeter Devon fostered with her sister

Shannon’s UK update & outstanding appraisal from the foster from the moment the siblings arrived in the UK. Like most of our rescues they didn’t need to be house trained, are great with other dogs, learn quickly & they are unfazed around live stock & noises. They have surpassed even the charities faith in their beautiful natures & ability to adapt.

We have assessed their needs & we feel they can be homed separately though would benefit from other dogs to play with especially as they have that in their foster home. For anyone who is used to having a couple of dogs in their life &/or a space in their hearts for two joyful companions then they are ready made for you. Many people say ‘two dogs aren’t very different to one’ & ‘they keep each other company and tire each other out so it’s actually very easy’. They will be content to find their paths through life as individuals & would be as ecstatic to continue on the journey through the happy years as a team. It’s been amazing to see them blossom with their lovely foster home and how adjusted they were from the get go. Thank you to our readers for giving the charity the opportunity to assess their needs & for your interest.

Without further ado in the words of the foster I give you ‘Shannon’:-
“30th May only 6hrs after their long journey Hi Leesa, The girls are doing really well. They look really well after their long journey. Beanie is a happy chappie.“ *Beanie was enjoying a bolt hole at the fosters arriving with Shauna and Shannon before being transferred close by to his foster home.
3.5.26 “The adventures of Shannon and Shauna. In a very short space in time, Shauna and Shannon has settled into their foster home. Their previous existence and understanding of the world was of concrete floors and metal bars at a dog compound. Despite their humble beginnings, both dogs has already demonstrated the ability to adapt, learn commands and embrace their new environment with unreserved joy. Shannon is a little wary of people, though her strength of spirit and enjoyment of the toys provided shows that she just needs to be given the space to breathe and relax. Her demeanor has already transformed into a playful girl, a little rocket rolling around on the grass, showing her appreciation by licking my hand and openly welcoming me this morning, day 2.
She is respectful of my three dogs and has shown a good understanding of doggie etiquette. She has an underlining strength of character and intelligence that, in time, will fill anyone's heart with love and joy. Shauna is a placid, open hearted girl. She enjoys a body massage and appreciates the encouragement and attention you give her. Shauna has a lovely temperament and enjoys the company of other dogs. She has open body language and demonstrates the type of swagger that points to her zen like qualities. Her new surroundings has not fazed her at all.
Both dogs are enjoying the grassy garden, smelling the flowers and bushes, sponging up everything their new environment has to offer. Shauna and Shannon are sisters. Their love and friendly companionship is clear to see, however, they are separate in their personalities and could settle individually into different homes with another dog to guide them. That being said, I am a dreamer and remain hopeful that a loving family may step forward and open their hearts to having both dogs, appreciating the benefits of keeping them together so that they may continue their journey of a better life, full of adventures.
6.6.26 Shauna and Shannon have been staying with us for one week now. It is impressive how quickly they have adapted to a new environment. Their individual growth has been joyful to watch. Truely, both dogs brighten your day, put a smile on your face and have become playful buddies to my three canines. Both dogs come when called, sleep quietly at night, feed from separate bowls near each other without aggression and continue to remain clean during the night. Shauna and Shannon enjoy making use of the toys and when an occasional 'tug of war' ensues, its always good natured, each dog graceful when conceding to the other sibling. No distress is observed whilst hoovering or a washing machine spinning and they are unresponsive to horses and vehicles passing by. All of these amazing attributes demonstrate their placid natures, ability to adjust, their intelligence to pick up routines and capacity to learn instructions quickly.”

A little more from Shannon:-

I’m told I’ve clearly got Labrador in me though I don’t know much about these things. Alls I’ve really known of my brief time on this earth is neglect, abandonment & indifference. On top of that when I thought it couldn’t get any worse we were orphaned somehow - was our mother hurt? Were we taken from her? Leesa said this is very normal in some parts. The consequence for us is that we were left in a municipality shelter as babies & were at risk of homelessness or being taken by someone who wasn’t so kind.

We will be fine around cats, respectful of children & are used to people. We’re also quiet- did you hear us bark once? I’m unique as I have a mini tail, no doubt from birth and I’m told I’m very pretty like my sister. I’m inquisitive & desperate to get amongst things as you can see. With all the natural chaos in places in a shelter it isn’t always possible to find the courage to work your way to the front though I’m never far behind & going from strength to strength in my foster home in Devon.
