Adopt Adele

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 1 year

Adele is the one with most white on her, in the pics Introducing... adorable Adele! Adele is a baby at 1 year old and has spent her whole life living in shelters in Romania and at Oakwood Dog Rescue. We had a plea from a volunteer rescuer that had just been at the shelter stating that there were 2 pups there that were completely withdrawing into themselves and were starting to shut down. They were very worried that these 2 babies wouldn't survive the winter as they were already so frail, and temperatures had already dropped to -5 degrees. It usually gets to -20 during their winter months. In the photos, Adele is attached to Beyonce's side. Over time though, these 2 girls have made many new friends and are no longer reliant on each other. They both now kennel share with different dogs and are settled and happy with their groups. Unfortunately, when letting them back together for play dates, it seems that these 2 have really grown apart and no longer enjoy spending time with each other. Adele has never lived in a home before and so would require time, patience, understanding and lots of positive based training to help her learn the ropes of home life. Adele loves playing out with the other pups and adult dogs, if she were to live with anotehr dog, they would need to be of similar or larger size than Adele. Adele is has met a cat whilst in our care. She was off lead and showed no prey drive. Please note - it was a very confident cat that she met so if she were to meet a cat that was skitty and ran, it is likley that she would chase due to a dogs natural instinct to do so. Adele loves nothing more than running around our fields and yards with all of her doggy friends. She's not ready to come inside a minute before the kennel shift is over. Adele has moderate to high energy levels at present. Adele has never before lived in a home. She will need to be left for minimal periods to begin with so she can settle in and realise that she is safe. This time alone (with another dog) can be built up so she'd be able to be left up to around 4 hours Adele is not yet lead trained. She is still very unsure about being handled and so lead training will come once she has built a bond with her new family Adele has no form of basic training. This will all come in time once she has settled and learnt to fully trust her adopters
