Please welcome Bronte to the RAGOM family!  She is a very sweet 18 month old girl.  Bronte came from Indiana last Sunday.  She had a long trip, but did just wonderful!  She was a stray, and was very lucky to wander into a home of a caring person that wasn't able to keep her, but found a friend that took her. This friend already had a dog and was trying to find Bronte's original home, with no success.  The friend then tried to find a new home, but as we all know, there are just too many puppers out there.  The golden rescue in Indiana didn't have room for her, so she contacted my sis-in-law, and here she is with RAGOM!  The other option was to bring her to the shelter, where more than likely she would have been put down.  We just couldn't have that happen!   RAGOM put together a wonderful transport and she made the 12 hour journey north!  Thank you to everyone that helped!

I am so glad everything worked out and she is safe with me!  This is a WONDERFUL dog!  As you can tell by the pictures, she just smiles!  She is so sweet!

Bronte has had a very big week so far!  Monday afternoon, she went to the vet for a check up and they were able to keep her and spay her the next day.  She came back negative for heartworm, which was really great coming from a southern state.  She did have whipworms, but has been treated for those and will need another treatment in 10 days.  This is probably a big part of the reason she is so thin.  You can feel every rib and her hip bones and back bone!  You can see her ribs through her curly coat in one of her pictures below.  She weighs 49 pounds but should have another 15 pounds on her!  She loves to eat, so I don't think that will be a problem for long!  (And I love to feed dogs, so I think we will make a great team!)  Also, with those nasty worms gone in a few days, she will be getting the nutrition rather than them!  Bronte was a big hit at the vet's office.  Everyone loved her.  She is so easy to have around and is willing to do whatever you want!

Bronte has been mingling with our 3 cats today after she got back from the vet.  She is doing great with them (and I have obnoxious, in-your-face cats).  They treat dogs like other cats - everyone is supposed to play with them!

I haven't let Bronte be with our dogs yet.  I think 7 boys might be just a bit too much after major surgery!  So she is going to rest for a bit and be a lady of leisure!  She did give Boz, one of our guys, a big kiss on the nose when they briefly met.  She got along great with the dogs she was with down south.

Bronte is a big lover, will get as close to you as she can, and will soak up as much love as you can give her.  She is really just wonderful!  Bronte walks nicely on a leash.  And she is very housebroken!  No accidents for this girl since she has been here or with her former Indiana angels!

I will need to get to know Bronte more to write more about her, but so far she is one of the sweetest girls I have met.  And if we didn’t already have 7...

So if you are interested in this honey, I would contact your placement advisor now, because I don’t think she will be available long!

Grace (formerly Bronte 09-135) who was the sweetest and the most independent dog that we ever had the joy to be owned by suddenly and way too soon crossed the Rainbow Bridge.

Grace had a sudden onset of cardiomyapothy... we took her to the vet asap in Star Prairie where they were amazing to her and us. She needed oxygen and started to go into arrest when they were doing x-rays...Art said Grace left us the way she lived...fast and on her own terms...we loved her to pieces, she was funny, loyal, energetic, gentle and incredibly stubborn when she chose to be... Run hard and fast with Jakie, sweet Grace and thank you for loving us so well!!! xoxoxox

Well, today is your lucky day!  Bronte is still looking for her forever home.  Bronte went home last Saturday, but through no fault of her own, she was returned to us this Wednesday morning.  Her adoptees decided that they just didn't have the extra time it takes to care for a dog.  She is a little confused and I can see some sadness in her eyes, but overall she's doing great.  I know she really loved her two boys and will miss them greatly.

So our goal is to find a perfect family that has the time to care for her.  She is a happy, happy girl that is just looking for love.  She loves everyone she meets - well, except for chipmunks, squirrels, rabbits, birds...you get the idea.  Cats are fine though!  She gets along great with other dogs and loves to play!  She would do fine in a household with brothers or sisters or she'd be happy to just soak up as much love as she can from her new parents all by herself!

I can tell that in her past, a man was probably not very nice to Bronte.  She will go and greet everyone, but with men, she is just a bit submissive.  She puts her head down and sits calmly before them.  Once she figures out there is only love involved, then she gets happy.  With women and children, she is herself right away.  She is a smart girl and tries to be very good so she doesn't get in trouble.  It breaks my heart to see even that little bit of submissiveness in her.  I am sure she will come out of it in time.  She is a very loving girl!  

Bronte has settled right back in to my schedule.  She has a beautiful new bed, treats (more), and even more toys now.  Her suitcase can be packed in a flash and she is all set to make someone very happy.

I really can't find any bad habits with her.  She does not like to go into a medium vari kennel in the car (maybe because she rode in one for 12 hours in one day to get up here?).  She will kennel-up in a large kennel inside the house.  I haven't used a kennel much with her, however, since she doesn’t seem to need it.  I work at home so I am always around.  She does like to help drive, so either tethering her in the car or maybe a wire kennel would be helpful on car trips.

So if you are looking for a young, beautiful, loving, and extremely sweet girl, and have the time and devotion that she needs, please let RAGOM know that you would like to meet her.  She is ready to find her forever home!
