Lacuna
German Shepherd · Female · Adult · 5 years
About LacunaLacuna is a very sweet but shy girl who came to the centre via an inspector after her needs were not getting met. When Lacuna first arrived at the centre she was extremely underweight and completely shut down as if she has almost given up. She was so nervous as she just did not know what to expect, she was a broken soul who needed lots of TLC and patience, slowly over the first few weeks she began to realise that she no longer needed to worry where her next feed was coming from. She learnt to trust again and realised life is worth living and that not all humans are bad. Lacuna is a stunning, gentle GSD who is currently looking for a special kind of forever family. She is a naturally timid dog who has had a rough start in life, meaning change and loud environments can make her nervous. Because of this, Lacuna prefers to play "hard to get" at first. She won't rush to the door to greet you on day one, but for the right person, the payoff is incredibly rewarding. In the kennels, we have watched her slowly learn to relax and start to enjoy being with her people. When you first meet her, she might take a step back or look a little unsure—the big wide world can be overwhelming for a sensitive soul like Lacuna, but if you give her just a little bit of time and some tasty treats, you’ll watch a beautiful transformation happen. Once she knows she is safe, her true personality shines. She loves gentle neck scratches, lounging in sunny spots on the floor, and going on quiet "sniff walks" where you can explore together at your own pace. She is looking for a patient, calm home where she can decompress without any pressure. If you have a predictable routine and a heart full of patience, she will reward your trust with a lifetime of devotion. Lacuna is sociable with other dogs and is suitable to live with another dog after a successful introduction at the centre, she will need an adult only home.
