	Location: In Foster in Bristol, South Gloucestershire

If you are interested in adopting a dog that does not say it can be homed with a cat and wish us to cat test please let us know and we will be happy to do this.

05-08-24 Cloud has come to us from a breeder ready to find her forever home. She is unsure of us at the moment and is quite overwhelmed to find herself here which is understandable. Despite her worries she will let you pick her up easily and so with time, love and kindness we hope it won't take too long for her to come out of her shell and realise that human hands can be kind. She relies heavily on her kennel friends for support and so will be looking for a home where there is at least one other kind and confident dog who will be her friend and take her under their wing. Cloud will need a calm and quiet home with adopters who will take things at her pace and who have plenty of time to spend with her and love to offer her. She has never lived in a home before so her adopters will need to be kind and understanding while she settles in and learns all about home life as well as new skills like house training and how to walk on a harness and lead. She is a sweet girl and with time and love we think she will truly blossom into the most wonderful little companion. Cloud has a Grade 1 heart murmur, she doesn't require any medication for this but it is something her adopters and their vet will need to monitor going forwards.

02-09-24 UPDATE

Cloud has been with me for a fortnight now.
There have been a couple of night time accidents lately and I am planning to feed her earlier.
Lead training is slow! Cloud, who managed well originally, now dislikes it but we will keep trying.
She is anxious with new people and hand shy, but settles quite quickly.
She will often cuddle up with my dog.

10-09-24 UPDATE

Cloud is very needy, she follows me everywhere, always trying to get on my lap. She also loves Heidi and Camilla. She has started barking a lot when any man visiting stands up or appears in the room even when she has seen them before and spent hours on their lap. Her lead walking is not progressing. She is spending more time pottering in the garden on her own and even went out voluntarily in the rain today. She snuggles up to the other dogs and me as often as possible.

Please read our information on ADOPTING EX-BREEDING DOGS before you apply.

PLEASE NOTE: We nearly always home dogs who have come from breeders where there is ALREADY A RESIDENT DOG living in the house. They have usually never lived in a house before and are only used to canine company. They usually get their confidence and learn faster with another dog to copy from. This also helps with house training and learning how to walk on a lead. They will make lovely pets but do need a lot of love, time and patience. If the ex breeding dog you are interested in can be an only dog it will say so in its write up. Please read our information on ADOPTING EX-BREEDING DOGS before you apply.
