Spaghetti has come to us from a breeder and is a truly sweet little soul with the gentlest nature. When she first arrived, she was very worried but she is trying her hardest to be brave and is making good progress. She can be quite shy at first, but with gentle encouragement she will now come over to say hello and have a little sniff of you. She has even gained enough confidence to happily take treats off you! Spaghetti was very briefly adopted, but sadly she wasn't getting along with the resident dog in the home so she has been returned to us. She does love other dogs and relies on them for comfort and reassurance, so she will be looking for a home where there is a kind and confident resident dog who can be her friend and take her under their wing. She doesn't enjoy sharing her food, so she will need to be fed separately at meal times. Spaghetti would be best suited to a calm and quiet, adult only home, where she can settle in at her own pace. She had never lived in a home environment before her brief adoption, so her adopters will need to support her as she learns all about home life and new skills like house training. She has started to learn about walking on a lead and harness, but needs much more practice with this to gain confidence. Despite her worries, Spaghetti’s sweet personality is already starting to shine through. She has the most endearing little quirks, such as gathering all her toys into her bed so she can sleep surrounded by them. With a loving, understanding home and a little patience, Spaghetti will blossom into a wonderful little companion. On arrival, Spaghetti was limping on her left foreleg, which is currently being monitored by our vet, but no action is required and she does not seem to be limping at this time. She has had 2 teeth extracted. She also has a previous C-section scar, and we have been advised that spaying her could be life-threatening due to prior surgical trauma. For this reason, adopters will be required to sign a disclaimer acknowledging that she can not be spayed and must not mix with other unspayed or unneutered dogs of any gender. An additional disclaimer will also be required to confirm that Spaghetti cannot be bred. Spaghetti has a travel document. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.
