Adopt Cloe

Female · Adult · 6 years

18-04-26 Cloe is a very worried little lady who has come to us from a breeding environment and is not yet comfortable with being handled. It’s clear she has had very little experience of kindness, so she can be quite flighty and may panic if approached too quickly and can choose to make the wrong decision if pushed out of her comfort zone. Cloe settles quickly once she feels safe and has already begun making lovely progress. With her favourite member of staff she is already showing her funny and affectionate side and is happy to approach him, kiss his fingers and will even do a little excited dance. With patient, understanding adopters who can appreciate why she may feel scared or defensive and support her as she builds trust, we believe she will settle in and start to come out of her shell. She will need a calm and quiet adult-only home with no visiting children and with adopters who have experience of scared ex-breeding dogs and who are willing to give her the patience, kindness, and time she needs to truly thrive. Cloe is already starting to approach you slowly on her own terms and so will need plenty of time, gentle encouragement, and extra TLC to continue building her confidence. She absolutely loves the company of other dogs and will need a kind, calm, and confident resident dog in her new home to help guide her as she adjusts to home life. As she has never lived in a home before, Cloe's adopters will need to be kind and understanding as she settles in and learns all about home life and new skills like house training. She doesn't yet walk on a lead and harness and will need to practice around the home and garden once she is more comfortable with being handled. Cloe has had 7 teeth extracted at the time of her spay as well as an inguinal hernia repaired. She had a lump on her right upper eye lid that has been removed. Cloe has a travel document. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.
