Adopt Ravelin
Shih Tzu · Female · Adult · 5 years
Ravelin has come to us from a breeder to find her forever home. When she first arrived she was a very worried girl who was quite touch sensitive and clearly wasn't used to being handled. Since then she has started to come out of her shell and has shown that she's a very sweet girl. She can be a little shy at first and may run away initially, but once you’re in the kennel she soon comes over to say hello, greeting you with gentle hand licks and a waggy tail. She is still worried about handling, but we are working with her on this daily. She is trying her best to be brave and we feel her true personality will really blossom once she settles into a loving home. She will be looking for a calm and quiet home with adopters who will let her settle in at her own pace. She finds comfort and security in her kennel friends, so she will need at least one other kind and confident resident dog in her new home to help her feel safe and to guide her as she begins to build her confidence. As she has never lived in a home before, Ravelin will need gentle, supportive adopters who can help her learn the basics, such as house training, and gradually introduce her to the sights and sounds of home life. She will also need to learn all about walking on a lead and harness and will need to practice in the garden as she builds confidence. She could live with older dog-savvy teenagers who understand the importance of giving her the space she needs to grow. Ravelin is simply waiting for someone to take a chance on her and provide the love, patience, and reassurance she deserves. She has come to us with an abscess on the back of her shoulder and joint stiffness in her back legs that are being monitored. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.
