First off, thank you for all your warm welcomes and words of support. We are happy to announce that Amber has come home today!!! We owe a huge thank you to NADSR for being an amazing and tireless organization, and to Kim who is simply the best foster mom one could possibly hope for!
Amber had a 2.5 hour car ride from Maryland to Philadelphia and apart from the first 20 minutes, she was quiet. When we let her out of the kennel on the street corner of where we live, she was a bit scared of all the sights, sounds and smells of the big city. But she did fine and I gave her a steady stream of treats. She was ok around the passing cars and people, and even an ambulance!
We live in an apartment in the city so one of our greatest concerns was noise. So far, she's been really good! Despite the ambient noise of the street outside, the neighbors talking, muffled footsteps next door and even someone accidentally ringing my door bell, she has been wonderfully quiet. Thank goodness for an "environmentally sound" dog!
Over the next week or so, we will do our best to take training measures now to prevent separation anxiety. We are mindful of how we train her (as we are dog novices) so any advice you may have would be greatly appreciated!
