Adopter Emrys
Collie · Mand · Voksen · 4 år
Emrys er i fosterpleje og søger efter en erfaren, forstående bosted for evigt, en chance for en glimrende men forståelsesløs Collie. Emrys kom til os fra en mark. Han var ung, sårlig og fuldstændig overvældet, da han første gang ankom, som så mange arbejdende Collies ofte er, når deres verden vender op og ned. Uden historik kunne vi kun bedømme ham ud fra det, vi så. Og det, vi så, var en skarp, følsom hund, der fandt kaosset i et fritagelseskennel absolut frygtindgydende. Heldigvis trådte en venlig og klog Collie-erfaren fosterforælder frem. I deres ro og strukturerede hjem begyndte Emrys at blomstre. Han boede hos dem i seks uger eller så, hvor han nydede lange ture, rigelig stimulans og den stabil, respektable tilgang, som arbejdende Collies virkelig har brug for. Der var ingen konfrontationer, intet bekymringer, bare fremskridt og fred. Men Emrys var ikke der for at blive. Han passede blot gennem på vejen til hvad vi håbede ville være hans evige hjem. Desværre gik den næste kapitel ikke som planlagt. Efter flere uger i et nyt hjem reagerede Emrys negativt på den ejendommers besøgende voksen svigersøn. Han viste reaktiv adfærd og redirected senere til en adfærdsspecialist, da han blev bremset med en snor. Efter dette tilfælde anbefalede adfærdsspecialisten, at dødelighed skulle overvejes. Men hans oprindelige fostermor kunne ikke give op på ham. Hans oprindelige fostermor tog ham tilbage, og siden da har han aldrig vist en eneste tegn på aggression eller ressourcebeskyttelse med dem eller med normale besøgende, og han kommer sig utroligt godt med de beboende hunde i hjemmet. De andre beboende hunde holder ham optaget, og vi tror, det gavner ham rigtigt godt. I deres omsorg fortsætter han at blomstre. Han er glad, sikker og meget elsket. De håndterer ham forsigtigt, forstår hans grænser og giver ham den aktive livsstil og tankeløse ledelse, han har brug for. Emrys er ikke en hund for begyndere. Han er en intelligent, drivkraftig Collie, der har brug for tydelig struktur, motion og en omgivelser, der respekterer, hvordan hans hjerne fungerer. Mange markfødte Collies overgår ikke nemt til husdyr liv, de har brug for forståelse, ikke straf. De kan blive overvældet, bange eller reaktive, når deres behov ignoreres eller simpelthen ikke genkendes. Med den rigtige person vil Emrys glimre. Han fortjener et hjem, der tilbyder: En rolig, voksen-alene miljø. Konsistent, struktureret behandling. Tid, patience og ingen pres. Dog med masser af udfordringer. Arbejde skal være spil for ham, sjov og lærerig fornøjelse, hvor han lærer, og så vil han elske sine lektioner og se op til mennesker for sit næste opgave, om det så er lojalitet, flyball, canicross, agility, søgning og redding – bare noget for at engagere hans hjerne. Nogen, der har erfaring med Collie-adfærd. Et trygt hjem med begrænset fodtrafik og ikke meget gå på. Han skal fortsætte brugen af en mætte i offentligheden som forhåndsindsats (selvfølgelig har han aldrig vist nogen aggression under promenaden med sine fosters). Vi prøver ikke at skjule hans historik, dog skriver vi ham ikke fra ved ét reaktion, ét øjebliks press. Hunder fortjener mere end det. Emrys har vist sig sikker og stabil i en godt styret fosterhjem. Med den rette person ved vi, at han kan have et godt liv. Hvis du har arbejdet med Collies før, hvis du tror på anden chances, og hvis du tror, at du kan være det rolige, erfarnes hjem, som Emrys har brug for, kontakt os venligst. Han er en glimrende dreng, og han venter. For at give Emrys bedste chance for at finde det perfekte hjem, er vi glade for at fratrække standard adoptionsgebyr og i stedet velkomne en donation af en hvilken som helst beløb, du føler dig bekvem med. Denne hund kan have et hjem med en beboende hund.

Emrys is currently in foster care and looking for an experienced, understanding forever home, a second chance for a brilliant but misunderstood Collie. Emrys came to us from a farm. He was young, vulnerable, and completely overwhelmed when he first arrived, as so many working Collies are when their world turns upside down. With no history, we could only judge him by what we saw. And what we saw was a bright, sensitive dog who found the chaos of a rescue kennel absolutely terrifying. Thankfully, a kind and knowledgeable Collie experienced fosterer stepped forward. In their calm and structured home, Emrys began to thrive. He stayed with them for six weeks or so enjoying long walks, plenty of enrichment, and the steady, respectful approach that working Collies truly need. There were no confrontations, no worries, just progress and peace. But Emrys wasn’t there to stay. He was only passing through on his way to what we hoped would be his forever home. Sadly, that next chapter didn’t go to plan. After several weeks in a new home, Emrys reacted negatively to the owner’s visiting adult son-in-law. He displayed reactive behaviour and later redirected onto a behaviourist when restrained on a lead. Following this incident, the behaviourist recommended that euthanasia be considered. But his original Fosterer couldn’t give up on him. His original foster welcomed him back, and to this day, he has never shown a single sign of aggression or resource guarding with them or with regular visitors and he gets on well amazingly with the resident dogs in the home. The other resident dogs keep him occupied and we believe this really benefits him. In their care, he continues to flourish. He’s happy, safe, and very much loved. They manage him carefully, understand his boundaries, and give him the active lifestyle and thoughtful leadership he needs. Emrys is not a beginner’s dog. He is an intelligent, driven Collie who needs clear structure, exercise, and a handler who respects the way his brain works. Many farm-bred Collies don’t transition easily to domestic life, they need understanding, not punishment. They can become overwhelmed, fearful, or reactive when their needs are ignored, or simply not recognized. With the right person, Emrys will shine. He deserves a home that offers: A calm, adult-only environment. Consistent, structured handling. Time, patience, and zero pressure However plenty of challenges. Work needs to be play for him, enjoyable fun where he is learning, he will then love his lessons respecting and looking up to humans for his next task, whether that’s obedience, flyball, canicross, agility, search and recovery - just some thing to engage his brain. Someone experienced with Collie behaviour. A secure home with limited foot traffic and not a lot of goings-on. He will need to continue the use of a muzzle in public as a precaution, (though he has never shown any aggression while out walking with his fosters). We are not trying to hide his history however we are also not writing him off for one reaction, in one moment, under pressure. Dogs deserve better than that. Emrys has proved himself safe and stable in a well-managed foster home. With the right person, we know he can have a good life. If you’ve worked with Collies before, if you believe in second chances, and if you think you could be the steady, experienced home that Emrys needs please get in touch. He’s a brilliant boy, and he’s waiting. To give Emrys the best chance of finding the perfect home, we are happy to waive the standard adoption fee and instead welcome a donation of any amount you feel comfortable with. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.
