Benny was Bengy update

Post by Glenys »

We know we all like happy gate updates :1972:

Hi to the Labrador rescue team,

We just wanted to update you about Benny... adopted as 'Bengy' last month.

We originally visited the rescue having had adopted Lewis, our family Labrador, from you some 8 years ago. Now moved out with my fiancé and wishing to have a dog of our own, we contacted you. We had initially visited to meet another young boy but saw Bennys eyes peering at us through the kennels door. He came home with us that very same day.
Benny came to us a quite and shy boy who struggled with anxiety. We had a tough few first weeks together learning his needs and trying to teach him new skills to help him be the wonderful dog he is now becoming. He struggled with us even being out of the room initially and had little to no understanding of how to behave on a lead or how to socialise with other dogs.
We are so proud of how he has come along in just 4 short weeks. With some consistent training and bucket loads of love and cuddles he has settled in wonderfully and made our house a home. It's amazing to see him become such a happy and anxiety free dog.
We would like to say a big thank you to you all for finding us our lovely boy Benny. I believe it was meant to be we visited that day and saw him there. He has completely been the missing part to our family.
Thank you for all the work you do for all those other lovely (and albeit slightly mad!) labradors. They all deserve their happy ending!!

Myself, Matthew and Benny will forever be grateful to you, Best wishes Emily Clark

This is a very heartwarming update. Benny sounds as if he was realyy unsure of himself and the world around him when adopted. Thanks to his Mum & Dad se's come on leaps and bounds by the sound of it. Lovely to know they are going to be a happy family and how much he will be loved and continue to grow in confidence.

What a lovely update. Thank you Emily and Matthew for adopting the gorgeous Benny and for giving him time to settle in and learn about his new life and overcome all his fears. You've done a fantastic job with him in a very short time and I think Benny was very lucky and very clever to have chosen you to adopt :rofl:

Wishing you a very long and happy life together :1951:
