Adopt Peaches

Cavapoo · Female · Young · 3 years

Peaches has come to us from a breeder to find her forever home. She is a very scared little girl at the moment and is understandably overwhelmed by all the changes she is facing. She has recently moved to a foster home, where she is settling in at her own pace. Although she will spend time in the same room as people now, she still finds close contact very worrying and does not yet understand that human hands can be kind. Peaches is beginning to show small signs of progress in her own quiet way. With gentle encouragement, she may cautiously approach for a treat and is becoming more inquisitive about the world around her. However, she remains very sensitive and hand-shy. She isn’t used to being handled and finds this very worrying. When handled, she may freeze and become distressed, so she will need adopters who are patient, understanding, and willing to go entirely at her pace with no pressure. While experience with ex-breeding dogs is not essential, she does need a home that understands she is not a quick fix and will require time and space to decompress and grow in confidence. Peaches will be looking for a calm and quiet home where she can begin to relax and settle in at her own pace. She has met children and was very curious and interested in them, so she could happily live with sensible, dog-savvy teenagers who will understand when she needs space and allow her to approach in her own time. Peaches can startle easily but will settle again with reassurance, and a predictable, peaceful environment will be key to helping her feel safe. Peaches relies heavily on other dogs for comfort and will need one other kind and confident resident dog in her new home. She actively seeks out other dogs for reassurance and comfort, enjoys sharing beds with them, and will often quietly follow them around, finding safety in their company. She would benefit from living with one calm and gentle dog who can offer steady reassurance, while still allowing her to have space when she needs it. She does not cope well in a larger pack environment and can become quite stressed and overwhelmed. She is a little too interested in cats, so would need a home with no cats or small furries. Peaches is especially wary of unfamiliar people and may bark when she feels uncertain, so her adopters will need to be patient as she slowly builds trust. Peaches had never lived in a home before moving to her foster home, but she is now learning all about home life and is already house trained, often taking herself out to the garden to do her business. She is beginning to learn about walking on a lead and harness, which is still very new to her and progressing slowly, but she is doing well. A secure garden with at least 6ft boundaries will be essential for her safety and confidence. Peaches has had one tooth extracted at the time of her spay. Peaches is a very brave little girl who is trying her best to navigate a world that still feels quite overwhelming. With time, patience, and a calm, understanding home, she will learn that the world doesn’t have to be such a frightening place and that kindness really does exist. Peaches has a travel document. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.
