01-12-24 Chestnut has come to us from a breeder to find her forever home. She is a worried girl who is quite unsure at the moment and needs some love and kindness to start to come out of her shell. She is easy to handle once she is in your arms and so with TLC she should start to grow in confidence. She will be looking for a calm and quiet home and will need at least one other kind and confident resident dog to be her friend. Chestnut has never lived in a home before and so her adopters will need to be kind and understanding as she settles in to her new home and learns all about new skills like house training and how to walk on a lead. She is a sweet girl and with love and kindness she will blossom into the most wonderful friend.
03-01-25 UPDATE
Chestnut joined us in foster 2 and a half weeks ago. She is a lovely but very anxious dog who is slowly coming out of her shell – it’s wonderful to see! She is watching and learning from our three Cavaliers, now takes treats from our hand and is beginning to understand that fuss is a positive thing. She also likes to play with toys by herself in her bed and enjoys the odd zoomie in the garden. Chestnut is very inquisitive and wants to be brave, so she is trying her hardest to push herself. We are going at her slow pace.
Because Chestnut is still really worried and learning how to feel safe in a home with people, she needs to be loved by someone who is at home most of the day and has experience with scared dogs. She will also have to sleep in her own bed near you, as this is how she sleeps the best overnight. She will also need a calm resident dog to help her settle. In time, she will blossom into a fun, cheeky girl. We’ve already seen glimpses of this when she relaxes.
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.
