  • Human family requirements

    I need an experienced adult-only home where I can feel safe and loved.

  • Other pet requirements

    I need a resident dog to help me feel safe. I've never met cats so I'm unsure!

  • House and garden requirements

    I will need a safe and secure garden that I can explore at my own pace.

  • Out and about requirements

    I love walks but I'm still unsure about certain noises, rural walks may be best.

  • Training needs

    I have never lived in a home so I will need help to learn house training.

  • Medical issues

    I am spayed and ready to find my forever home.

Meet Rhea, a beautiful, gentle girl who has come to us from a breeder and is now learning, step by step, what love and kindness truly mean. When she first arrived, Rhea was very frightened – she barely ate and would shy away from people. But with patience and gentle handling, she has made incredible progress.

Though still a nervous girl, Rhea now walks on a harness, enjoys her meals and is showing a growing interest in people. She’ll allow fusses, is happy to be picked up when needed, and is starting to trust more each day. Her journey is ongoing, but she’s already shown so much courage and sweetness.

Rhea needs a calm and quiet, adult only home with adopters who have experience with scared ex-breeding dogs. A kind and confident resident dog is essential to help guide and reassure her as she adjusts to home life. She’s never lived in a home before, so she’ll need lots of time, patience, and gentle encouragement to learn new things like house training.

This lovely girl gets on well with other dogs and is just waiting for someone to give her the chance she truly deserves. While her kennel friends move on to new homes, Rhea is often left behind, but we know the right person will see the wonderful dog she’s becoming.

Please don’t overlook her because she’s shy, with love and understanding, Rhea will blossom into the most loyal and loving companion.

She has a travel document and is ready for the next step on her journey, could that be with you?

Rhea's Diary

  • Rhea is a beautiful and gentle lady. When Rhea first arrived here she was so scared, she barely ate and would run away from everyone. She is still quite a nervous girl, but has made so much progress and I'm so, so proud of her.

    Rhea will now allow you to approach her and give her fusses, put her harness and lead on her and even let you pick her up if you need to. She still has a way to go regarding confidence and trusting humans but she is getting there, some dogs just take a bit longer to get there than others and that is absolutely OK.

    Rhea now eats really well, and her harness training has come along in leaps and bounds. Although she can still be a bit wary of certain things on a walk, she walks very well.

    She gets along well with her kennel friends and is currently kenneled with four other dogs. Please don't pass her by just because she's not the most confident dog in the world. In the right home and with the right people/person I really do think that she'll come out of her shell and show off her true personality, she just needs to be given that chance.

    She's just waiting in kennels as her buddies get fostered or adopted before her and it's so sad to see her little face knowing she's going to be left behind again. So please, if you think you could give her her forever home and the life she truly deserves then please do come and meet her, kennel life is no life for Rhea.

  • Rhea has definitely improved since she arrived here at the centre, while she is still a very shy girl she is such a sweet girl to handle. You can also see more of an interest in people than she had initially. She now walks on a harness but can be scared so having a confident dog around really helps her when she’s out and about.

  • Rhea has come to us from a breeder and now it's time for her to find out what real love is. She is a very nervous girl who is overwhelmed to find herself here at the moment but despite her worries, she is happy to let us handle her. 

    She will be looking for a calm and quiet, adult home with adopters who have experience with scared ex-breeding dogs. She will need lots of love and kindness as she starts to settle in and come out of her shell. 

    Rhea will be looking for a home where there is another kind and confident resident dog who will be her friend and take her under their wing. She has never lived in a home before so her adopters will need to be kind and understanding as she settles in and learns all about home life and picks up new skills like house training. 

    She can't yet walk on a lead and so we will work on this while she is with us and get her used to wearing a harness. Rhea is a sweet girl and with lots of love and kindness she will start to come out of her shell and blossom into the most wonderful girl. She has a travel document.
