27-08-24 Grace is a darling girl who was originally adopted in 2021 from the rescue when she came over from Romainia to find a better life. Grace has been through a lot in the last 9 months and had an accident which resulted in a suspected slipped disc in November 2023, she has had to undergo crate rest, medication and physiotherapy but has since recovered and now walks with a slight arch to compensate. Grace will be checked over by our vets and they will update further, she currently needs to be checked over by a female vet as she is scared of men. Since the accident Grace has lost confidence and was struggling in her home and her normal routine which included a move to a new doggy daycare. At the new daycare Grace was very scared and retreated into a crate to hide in and did snap at her owners when they tried to get her out to leave which has resulted in a loss of trust on both sides. Grace has obviously been through a lot and needs a very calm quiet home where she can settle in a secure environment with little comings and goings. Grace is looking for adult only experienced adopters that can help her build on her confidence and positive experiences, she will need a home where she will not need to go to a doggy daycare and can just settle in one envrioment preferable with no visitors. Grace can be an only dog in the home, we are allowing her plenty of time to settle before trying to introduce her to other dogs here to be kenneled with but we will update soon as she loves her play dates with dogs here.
Grace is a very sweet girl once she knows you but is so overwhelmed to find herself in kennels, she is definitely a dog that thrives in a quiet calm environment. She is wary of strangers but once she trusts you she is easy to handle and wants to please. She isn't an overly active girl and enjoys a laid back lifestyle with a routine in place.
Grace will need an experienced home as she does resource guard food or bedding at times so will need help and boundaries in place with this especially with all the change she is experiencing.
Grace is very frightened of men especially (tall/large in stature) and will snarl and warn them away, we are currently working at positive interactions with Grace and male staff members and she is improving with proper introductions that adopterrs will need to continue. We've been told she is scared of anyone holding sticks (even walking sticks) so her adopters will need to be mindful of the situations and environments they put her in so that she can thrive and start to build herself back up.. Grace is a special girl who will be your best friend in time but needs that special home that can listen to her needs and help her feel safe and heard. Grace has tested negative for brucellosis and her medical notes with this can be forwarded to her new adopters vets. Grace has a passport.

Grace has come on leaps and bounds since I last worked with her and although timid with new people, she is trying her best to fit into kennel life despite living in a home for a few years. Initially, Grace was very shell shocked to come back to kennels. The sounds are overwhelming and it’s an environment she’s been in before which must make it that little bit more scary. She’s a sensitive soul and I must say she's one of the best walkers here. She doesn't pull, just trots right besides you perfectly and these moments when she’s away from the kennels is what she craves. If you are thinking of adopting her you may need to come up a few times for her to know you as she can be shy with new people. She's a beautiful medium to small girl who has so much to give please don't leave her here anymore.

Grace is a super star and has been making so much progress here, we are all so proud of her. For the last two weeks she has really started to conquer her fear of men and has let me (a tall man) be her caretaker. Over this time she has really started to relax and show me that she's still got so much happiness and is just as inquisitive of a puppy. She loves zooming around our exercise yard and will even beeline to it on her walks as she just loves the freedom of being able to run and sniff at her leisure. Whoever adopts this little angel is going to get such an incredible and loving best friend.
