Erika

Mixed Breed · Female · Puppy · 2 months

Erika is one of a litter of seven beautiful puppies who were brought to the sanctuary by their owner when they were around 8 weeks old. Estimated to grow to approx 16-18 kg when fully grown This is something we sadly see quite often. Once puppies are old enough that their mother has stopped feeding them, the owner then has to start buying food for the whole litter, and many simply cannot manage the cost. Thankfully, Erika and her siblings were not truly abandoned, and they have not suffered the trauma or distress that some rescue puppies sadly experience. They have been safely cared for and are now ready to find loving homes of their own. Erika is the little individual of the litter. While all of her brothers and sisters are cream or white, Erika is the only black & white puppy, making her very easy to spot and very hard not to notice. She is still a young puppy, so her new family will need to help her with all the usual puppy basics, including house training, lead walking, socialisation, confidence building and learning how to settle in a home. With kindness, patience and consistency, she should grow into a lovely companion. Erika is looking for a home where she will be loved, guided and given the time she needs to blossom. She has had a safe start compared with many rescue puppies, and now she just needs the chance to grow up as part of a family. Erika will arrive fully vaccinated and with comprehensive health checks, including a Uranotest Quattro, which tests for Leishmania infantum, Ehrlichia canis, Anaplasma and the Dirofilaria immitis antigen. She will also have a test for Canine Brucellosis and her own Portuguese passport. Most of our dogs have been found abandoned as young pups, discarded as unwanted litters, as is often the case in Portugal where neutering is not as common as in the UK. After rescue, all of our pups spend time in private shelters and foster homes, meaning they arrive happy, healthy and well socialised. UK Registered Charity Number 1183775
