Tori- ADOPTED!!!

Miss Tori has been adopted by the wonderful Miller family! She now spends her days with her mom, dad and Saint brother Rufus!

Tori and Rufus in her new home!

The ever so sweet Miss Tori is the newest addition to the Bross Foster Crew.  Tori came from a shelter when she was dumped by her owners who could no longer properly care for her. She spent a lot of time outside and was eaten up by flies:(

The shelter called Saintly Bernards Rescue to ask for assistance to make sure this lovely lady got the proper vetting, socialization and a dedicated forever family. Due to increased strays, owner surrenders and cruelty cases- the shelters are all FULL beyond capacity. Saintly Bernards stepped up and added Tori to the program- creating space for another dog to get a second chance. Two lives were potentially saved.

After spending time in the shelters and in the kennel it took a good 24 hours for Tori to settle and feel comfortable. Most people do not realize the stress that shelter dogs feel when they come into a home. You have an increased risk of stress induced behaviors.The first 24 hours IS not the judge of any dogs true personality. It takes time for the dog to begin to trust again and see that they are on the journey to the good life.  Patience is KEY to helping them pull through the first night successfully. BE prepared to not sleep.

After the first night Tori began to settle. She found comfort in Quincy & McKenzie welcoming her into the house. I am still amazed at how my crew can help settle a foster better then I can. She made her first trip to the dog park with my crew. She did wonderful. She looked so free and happy running through the park, stretching her legs and knowing she was not getting abandoned again. When I woke up with her in the morning to begin her day with a long walk- she looked at me with her beautiful thankful eyes.

Miss Tori is a super duper affectionate Saint Bernard. If you know Angus (part of the Saintly Saint working crew) you would see similarities. Any opportunity for a belly rub and SHE WILL TAKE it. Any opportunity for big wet slobbery kisses- SHE WILL GIVE them. Any chance she gets to curl up with you and snuggle- SHE IS ON it. She is a lover through and through.

Tori is ready to begin her journey at life with her committed forever family. She has been fully vetted (including spayed), up to date on shots, on monthly preventatives and groomed. She is super social with all, knows basic commands and is BEYOND eager to please. Do you think that Victoria would be perfect for your family?
