Ursula

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Female · Young · 3 years

This small beautiful flower is Ursula, a compact, really small Staffy-kind of girl, who arrived to our family during the floods of January ´26, when Los Barrios shelter had to evacuate. She had not been long in the shelter yet, just recently abandoned, and she was really heartbroken. Now she has settled into shelter life, and Loves to go out with volunteers, to the shelter parks to smell the flowers, or for days out on the beach and in the town. Ursula loves to get into the car, to go for adventures, she walks well on the stairs and behaves politely in public. She loves to look for mice, and little creatures in general, so she will not be a great candidate for a home with other small animals like cats, rabbits, birds etc, but she is lovely with all the dogs she meets, and in the shelter she loves to live together with a chunky pitbull boy, Drako, they do everything together, even look out for each other when pooping. As Ursula is coming from a home environment, even though not a great one, since she has been abandoned, then she still knows how it feels like to live in a home, and will surely very quickly adjust back into a life in a home with a family. In her previous home, she was living together with a child, who she seemed to have loved very much. Ursula walks very nicely on the leash, whether in the nature, in the shelter, or in a busy town street, she does not bother people or other dogs, and since she is so compact and kind with people, she would also be suitable for humans who like to take their dog everywhere they go, to cafeterias, car trips, beach, visiting friends and relatives (as long as they do not have mice at their home!). When she will change environments, going to a home, she will probably first cling onto the first human that will offer her safety, and then she might develop separation anxiety, and for that reason, it would be really great, if there are more people in the home, who take care of Ursula, or if there is already a social, friendly male dog waiting for Ursula, so her existance and feeling of comfort and safety does not rely totally on one person. If her new home is a one-person home, without other dogs or humans, then we recommend her human, for the sake of creating a balanced, comfortable, relaxed life for Ursula, to enroll in a dog-training group, to meet other dogs and dog-people, and to build her a social circle like this. Her shoulder height is just 49cm, she is just a little flower. For an adoption in Spain, a PPP registration would be needed which the shelter can help with, and Ursula is also available for international adoption. She has been medically checked and is negative on Mediterranean diseases.
