We got out new sweetie home today :D
not a great photo but just snapped on the camera phone so sorry about quality.
what a gorgeous little girl she is, and so timid at the moment but she will come at it soon enough :)
just had to share!

Brought her home from Balmore so one less pooch for them to worry about for a wee while.

no, we had one pts because she ripped my other dogs face 3 times, we considered rehoming but decided the risk was too great

Aww she is beautiful, I have been watching her on the Balmore site as AmBullies don't often appear up here! Glad she's got a happy home :) I love hearing of people adopting.

I hope for her sake that your rescue AB with unknown history is the perfect dog

To be honest I am surprised that sspca would rehome a dog where a previous dog has recently been put to sleep for being aggressive towards the other house dog. What will happen if when she settles in decides she is leader of the pack and takes a pop at your resident dog. It happens....

now i am even more anxious - when her write up from Balmore states she doesnt get on well with other dogs..Do the SSPCA not do backround checks then? I'd also like to know why this dog, who dosn't get on with other dogs has been rehomed where one has recently been pts? :(

Aww I saw her out at Balmore a few months ago!!! Im so glad she's in a happy new home!!! How lovely :) All the best with her, Im sure you'll bring each other years of happiness!!

bobbin and bullielove - i invite you up to the house after at least a fortnight for her to settle to be told the full story about the one that was pts.
i have probably rehomed more problematic dogs than yourselves and they have come out the other side as well balanced pets within a few months.
yes the sspca do home checks, the sspca also know of the dog that was pts and the full reasons why - and the dog that had her face ripped is no longer with us because of age and health deterioration so wind your necks in and learn the truth and stop being a pair of 'know it alls'.

Oh tuggs I am so sorry to hear you lost Sacha, I am also so glad you gave this girl a home and know you will do your very best for her, she has landed on her feet and for the others having a pop give it a rest unless you have met her dogs.

well that is a relief then that she will be the only dog.. at the end of the day it is only her welfare that concerns me and that is why I posted in the first place Regarding your previous dog that was PTS it was very upsetting when on the surface it appeared that all offers of help were turned down and the thread from your daughter about it being her dog and she would have it put down if she wanted was deeply distressing to hear. Maybe there is more to the story as you say however all I saw was what was said on here.

I do honestly hope it works out for you and Storm. She looks beautiful and gentle. There are too many ABs needing homes. Having had experience of American bulldogs in the past I know that they are most loyal and loving animals once they settle in. I am passionate about dog welfare therefore I will speak out if I am concerned in any way. If that leads you to believe that I am a know it all then that i can live with that.

Sad really that people jump to conclusions.
Tugmistress, I am very sorry that you lost your dog. I don't feel that you need to explain yourself to people who see the bad before the good (seems to be a common thing for some people these days.) Good on you for giving Storm a good home.

just thought i would post another piccie of storm, she settling in really well, and it is so lovely to have her company, looking forward to her coming out of her shell even more as we can all see the potential in her and know she is going to be an amazing dog :)

I for one am absolutely delighted that Storm eventually managed to get a loving home. I couldnt think of anyone better for her to go to. She is a great dog and will be a loyal companion to you. Thanks for rehoming her.

Try www.scottishspca.org/rehoming (http://www.scottishspca.org/rehoming) then select the Centre you are interested in The one in Caithness is the Caithness & Sutherland ARRC and Inverness is the Highland & Islands ARRC (Animal Rescue and rehoming Centre) The web site is control via the HQ so sometimes there is a slight delay in removing animals as everyone is so busy.
