Charity

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Sweet Charity has had a rough life after being found abandoned in a field with her pups in Romania. She has settled well into centre life and has built a lovely bond with her main handlers. She loves going out for walks and for a dog that had likely never walked on a lead for years before coming into our care, Charity has made brilliant progress. Kindness and patience are the key, going at Charity's pace and not rushing into anything that overwhelms her. She's got used to the team and now happily approaches her friends for a fuss, leaning into legs to encourage more! Charity was rehomed from us but sadly that failed after she was showing some territorial behaviours, most likely learned from her life on the streets. Full support is available from the centre team to help her adopters work with this. She recently went home with a handler to test our introduction plan, and she did brilliantly, so her adopters will need to take all our advice on board in order to give Charity the best chance at success. She is happy to walk with other calm dogs but will avoid any direct interaction. Being around others is good for her confidence but she shouldn’t be forced into anything she isn’t comfortable with. She’s doing great with focus training with her handlers as she finds treats more interesting than other dogs! Charity does enjoy playing with toys, but we haven’t yet found anything that keeps her attention for long. Charity needs a child and pet free home with limited visitors, away from busy roads and ideally with someone who is not immunocompromised. She is house trained but not used to being left for long periods in a home. Charity will need multiple visits paying to her at the centre to build a bond and go through her training plan with our behaviour team. You are very welcome to call the centre for more information about her needs if you are interested in adopting her. Charity has hip dysplasia and requires daily pain relief.
