Introducing Siuna (pronounced Shoonah)

Siuna is a lovely wee lass approx 2 years old, bred, starved and thrown out on the streets. She is very thin nothing more than skin and bones at the moment and came to us through a local rescue centre. It will be our privilege to ensure that Siuna gets back to her proper weight in a loving environment. We are currently fostering her with a view to adoption in due course and has been with us since Thursday. Will keep you posted on her improvement.

Have been trying to add photo but my phone is playing games with me.

Welcome from Misty and me. What a sad start to life for poor Siuna. I can't wait to hear about her new life with you!! It's lovely to hear of rescue stories.

Sometimes it makes you wait for a few days after you first join.

Hi from me & Katy, well done on rescuing Siuna Sounds like she has landed on her paws with you Look forward to seeing pics of her, any idea on what her name means?

Welcome to the forum. I'm so glad you rescued Siuna, well done. You have done a fantastic thing & you will find it so rewarding watching her blossom with love. Can't wait to see pictures of her

Hello All - I think I've finally sussed out how to put pictures up. So finally I can introduce Siuna to you all.

These photos were taken by SE Dog Rescue based in High Halden near Tenterden in Kent before she came to us on the 6th July.

Gosh, that's not good, is it?

She's got an absolutely adorable face, I can't wait to see what she looks like all fit and healthy in your loving hands.

2 Week Anniversary Update.

This is Siuna after just 2 weeks with us. Filling out nicely.

That's my girl. She's a really lovely girl, very affectionate and generally well behaved. She doesn't seem to know how to play. So I'm working with her ball and tug. So far so good but progress is slow. Her concentration is not brilliant but just needs more work.

So much better already!

How long are you going to foster for?

Until we adopt her. That's a given and will probably happen very soon. Just a question of spare money.

I thought it wouldn't be long! I think when we took on Bobbert it was a month because he was such a traumatised/difficult dog, the rescue wanted to make sure we were sure we knew what we were taking on.

Wow what a transformation in just a couple of weeks, she's really coming along

Amazing transformation in 2 weeks!

Well done, what a difference. I'm so glad she is with you

What a lucky girl she is to have found you.
Very noticeable results after just a fortnight, how are you getting on now ?

8 WEEK UPDATE
Took her to the vets this week as a follow-up after being diagnosed with having both hookworm and lungworm eggs in her stool and just waiting for the results of her latest test. Also got weighed. Our dear Siuna has put on 7kg in 8 weeks. Absolutely ecstatic with her progress. Still no news on her adoption. And we're unable to spay her until after her next season - whenever that'll be. However she'll be introduced to the wilds of Dumfries and Galloway next week followed be Stirling and the grandma test. The Book is open on how long it'll take Siuna to win over granny. 5mins: 1:150000. ONLY JOKING! It won't take that long.

And there isn't really a book open. I was using it as an illustration.

Poor thing. She looks so much better now. Thanks for keeping us updated on progress.
