So glad she's happy now. 
It will take time Roxy, she still feels unsure, not of me. x
Six years old never had pups either. x
I gave her a little fluffy pup toy, she loved it. x

We had to go back and walk him several days in a row, we had a home visit to make sure we had somewhere suitable for him to live. A few weeks after we got to take him home we had another visit from the rescue centre to ensure that he was being cared for properly in his new home.
In short, WE were vetted. If all potential dog owners had to pass such tests I think there would be fewer cases of cruelty.
I know it would be difficult to police but you can report animal cruelty to the RSPCA.

SP, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hijack your thread.
Of course reputable rescue centres do plenty of checks, and follow ups too, I do know that. That is why some rescues only allow pets to go within a certain radius - so they can do home checks and follow up visits.
I also know some who don't, and are just desperate to move dogs on. Very often it is these animals that are returned and have to start the process all over again, and it is often because the rescue didn't do their homeworkproperly.
But either way, that is nowt to do with bringing dog licences , and that is what we were talking about before - not how rescues perform.
As for the RSPCA, I don't support them I'm afraid.
They seem to do their best on camera for tv, but I haven't found the same service away from the cameras.
Phoned them only last week.

I will post some happy pics of her. x
