8/4/18 – Babushka has found her new home. Yay!
—————

Sadly, beautiful Babushka is back with Love Underdogs and looking for a home again. In the end, the resident dog, Norris, and her proved not to be a match made in heaven. She has been in new foster home with another family who have a dog, just to check how she did, and she was great, so, providing it’s the right match, she gets on well with other dogs.

Beautiful Babushka is an older girl, approximately 9 years old, who has sadly spent the last 7 years of her life in a Romanian shelter. Happily, she is now safely in the U.K. under the care of Love Underdogs in Waltham Abbey, Essex and has really come out of her shell.

Babushka was very subdued in Romania and also suffered terribly with her teeth which have now been attended to. She has a new lease of life and has started being very affectionate with the team. She can still be a little shy but she is a true little gem, waiting to be discovered by a loving and kind person. She can live with older children aged 16+. The Rescue do not place older dogs with children in the home.

Babushka has started playing recently and enjoys the company of other dogs. She would probably also get along well with cats, as long as they don’t try to steal her food from under her nose. With people she is comfortable with, she loves being kissed and held; she’s a real cuddle monster. She has started learning her basics, like sit and give paw. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?

Babushka does have some arthritis so would not be able to go very long walks but she really enjoys going out and bouncing around with her doggie friends. For an older girl, she can be very playful.

Babushka also particularly likes her den, which is in her kennel, and just watches the world go by. She’s a real sweetheart, adored by everyone who meets her. This is a dog who has spent most of her life in a shelter and probably the early part of it on the street, so she needs a patient and understanding home which will be flexible and adapt a little to her as she progresses.

Babushka has spent a few days in foster and her family said she was clean, an absolute joy to have. Babushka knows how to return the love tenfold as lovely little golden oldies like her do. She is vet-checked, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. She also has a passport.
