Adopt Periwinkle

Bichon Frisé · Female · Senior · 9 years

05-06-26 Periwinkle is a gorgeous Bichon Cross who has come into our care from a breeder in search of a new start. She is a coy but kind little lady who is still finding her feet and building her confidence. At the moment, Periwinkle is not quite brave enough to approach us on her own, but once she has had a little time in your arms, she begins to relax and enjoy a gentle fuss. Beneath her worries is a sweet-natured girl who is slowly learning that people can be trusted. Periwinkle gets on wonderfully with her kennel friends and relies on their company for comfort, so she will need a kind resident dog in her new home to help guide her and give her the reassurance she needs as she settles in and finds her paws. As Periwinkle has never lived in a home before, she will need to learn all about house training, lead training, and the other basics of home life. Her adopters will need to be patient and understanding as she adjusts to a completely new way of life. She will need an adult-only home that can understand that she needs time to settle in. A calm and predictable environment will help her feel safe and allow her confidence to grow at her own pace. Periwinkle has arrived with a Grade 2 patella luxation. At present, the joint and surrounding muscles appear stable, and she is able to walk and run normally without any difficulties. Our vets will continue to monitor her closely to ensure she remains comfortable and receives any treatment or support she may need. Her new adopters will also be advised to keep an eye on her mobility and monitor the condition going forward. Periwinkle loves playing with her kennel friends and enjoys their company, often looking to them for reassurance. Although she lacks confidence right now, we hope that with time, patience, and the support of a canine companion, she will continue to gain confidence and show more of her lovely personality as she settles into home life. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.
