We adopted Delta in June 2010. She has already became a part of the family. We were worried that she would be nervous, but the minute she arrived she settled in perfectly. She loves attention even more than any dog I've ever seen before.

Her and our cat Bubba, who is famously independent, actually get on well. She also gets on well with her cousin Scally, who is just a puppy, and follows Delta around. Delta loves to hide in the flowers and long grasses, but she hates to not know where everyone is. She loves company and is already a perfect member of the family. She is slowly getting even more confident in her new surroundings.

I also have to say well done to everyone at the shelter, and everyone else involved for doing a wonderful caring job. Thanks.

Thanks again, from Delta and all the Brehenys in Westport, Co Mayo.
