Conny

Poodle · Female · Adult · 7 years

Conny is a sweet and sensitive little lady who has come to us from a breeder and is now beginning to settle into foster care. She is a gentle, inoffensive soul who can still find people and new situations quite overwhelming, so she will need a calm and understanding home where she can continue to build confidence at her own pace. Conny takes great comfort from the other dogs in her foster home and loves pottering around the garden with them, so she will need another kind and confident resident dog in her new home. She is very reliant on canine companionship for reassurance and looks to the other dogs to help her feel safe and secure. Although Conny is becoming more comfortable moving around the home and garden, she is still wary of close human interaction and will often quietly hide under the garden furniture if people approach her too directly, which is heartbreaking as it’s clear she simply doesn’t yet understand what love and affection can feel like. Despite this, she is a lovely, gentle little dog who is slowly starting to settle and just needs time, patience and kindness to help her blossom. Prior to foster Conny had never lived in a home before, so her adopters will need to continue guiding her through all the basics, including lead training and building confidence with everyday life. At the moment she has only explored the garden environment, but she is doing very well with her housetraining and settles calmly overnight in her crate alongside the other dogs. She would love a quieter home with perhaps one or two calm doggy friends and adopters who will allow her to come around in her own time without pressure. With gentle encouragement and reassurance, we are sure Conny will continue to make lovely progress. Conny came to us with infected ears, which have been treated. Our vets have also noted that she has Grade 2 luxating patella in her left hind leg, this may improve with gentle exercise as she builds muscle. She has had 20 teeth removed at the time of her spay. Conny has a travel document. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.
