Whimsey
Weimaraner · Female · Adult · 5 years
Whimsey came to us from a breeder as a very worried little girl who found the world quite overwhelming. When she first arrived, she was unsettled and skittish, needing plenty of time and reassurance to help her feel safe. Since then, she has made wonderful progress and has really started to show what a special girl she is. Whimsey has formed a lovely bond with her carers and now greets those she knows and trusts with enthusiastic cuddles and kisses. It has been a joy to watch her confidence grow, and she is becoming more comfortable with the people around her every day. While Whimsey has come on tremendously, she can still be nervous and unsure around new people. She will need a calm, patient and understanding home that is willing to give her the time and space she needs to build trust and settle at her own pace. Once she feels safe, her affectionate and loving personality truly shines through. She could also live with older, dog-savvy teenagers aged 16 and over who can respect her need for a gentle introduction and allow her to settle in at her own pace. Whimsey walks nicely on a lead, but as she can still be sensitive to new experiences, her adopters will need to continue introducing her to the world gently and at a pace she is comfortable with, helping her build confidence without becoming overwhelmed. Whimsey really enjoys spending time with other dogs and loves socialising with her canine friends in the exercise yards. We now feel she could happily live with another resident dog of a similar size, provided they get along well during a successful meet and greet. Like many dogs, Whimsey can be a little selective about her friendships, so finding the right canine companion will be important. She would also be perfectly happy as the only dog in the home, where she could soak up all the love and attention from her family while continuing to enjoy opportunities to socialise with other dogs on walks. She cannot live with cats. Whimsey has such a sweet heart and has already shown just how much progress she can make when given kindness, patience and understanding. With the right home behind her, we know she will continue to blossom into a wonderfully affectionate companion and a much-loved member of the family. Whimsey arrived with an abscess on the right side of her jaw, which has been treated by our veterinary team. Our vets have also noted that she has a fractured canine tooth with no root or nerve exposure. At this stage, no treatment is required, but it should be monitored by her adopters and their own vet. She has also received treatment for a urinary tract infection, which has been successfully managed under veterinary guidance. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.
