[nagdu] best unexpected news in a long time!

Kerri,
I wish you both the best. The whole adjustment thing is always a concern no
matter how old the dog is. Just approach the dog with the understanding that
his or her life has just been sidetracked by circumstances that neither of
you could control and give as much love as you have to help the dog form a
new bond. Sounds like the dogs need new homes regardless of whether they
will be working, and working IMO is the best medicine.

Hey all,  I knew there was a reason behind me inquiring hard about Pilot. I
just got a call from them that I will be getting a 3-year-old standard
poodle whose owner was in some sort of accident that he can no longer work
his dog, and my husband, Lee, will be getting a 5 year old standard poodle
whose owner was too ill to work.
So I made sure to ask questions about them, since they were already with
other people. In your experiences, do dogs adjust to new people ok? I wonder
if they will be able to adjust quickly to retraining with a new human. Yall
wish us all the best and for a safe journey. April 12 can't come fast enough
for me, and Apr. 6 is very quick for him, because he's going to have to set
up dialysis but that's already in the works. Very exciting.   Kerri
