So many times we see such hard luck stories for the good pets that come into rescue. They've been penned and they've been chained. They've been hurt or neglected or abandoned. Or they have lived a miserable lonely life caged in what the CKC still refers to as a "substandard breeding facility"
Cedar is a different cup of tea altogether. She was adopted from rescue in Toronto and since then her 'mom' has done all the right things for her. She is a four year old spayed miss with great recall and has mastered all her basic commands. Cedar is currently in Starters Agility and has already shown the potential to be an Agility star with the right trainer.
So why does this wonderful girl need a new home? Her mom is very ill and rapidly getting too sick to look after her. Right now Cedar is still at home, but East Coast German Shepherd Rescue is hard at work looking for a good and safe home for Cedar.
After eleven years with a Scottish Terrier, I'm always impressed by the agility and flyball dogs. As they so diplomatically put it on the Westminister Dog Show, Scotties need an owner who is secure enough to accept that they will never be the boss: )))
If someone was was looking to dip their toes in the warmth of the agility community or is already there and looking for a new prodigy, Cedar might just be the kindred spirit they are looking for. She won't be everybody's cup of tea because she's not used to children and way too interested in cats. Like all reputable rescues, ECGSR never sweeps anything under the rug in their haste to get a pet adopted .... no matter how long it takes, they always look for the right fit so that every adoption is a Forever Home.
Its going to be sad enough for Cedar to leave such a loving home and so everyone is hoping that she can be adopted in time that she won't need to make a detour to wait in a foster home. The timeline is getting tighter on this as Cedar's mom is losing ground. It doesn't take any imagination to appreciate how much it would ease things for Cedar's mom at this time to know that her beloved friend would be settled and safe and loved.
