Lad os give dig en ny introduktion til vores særlige pige Helga, en af vores længst boende beboere her hos Hotellet. Helga har været hos os i næsten et år og havde været meget udfordrende at tilpasse sig kage liv, efter hun blev tragisk indtaget som en "falsk gadehund". Heldigvis tog en af vores fantastiske frivillige hende med hjem som omsorgsforælder, og hun har været der siden da. Selvom Helga har fundet sin vej til livet som omsorgsdyr, leder hun stadig efter sin evige hjem, og så spurgte vi hendes omsorgsmor nogle spørgsmål, som potentielle adoptører måske vil have svar på! 1. Hvordan ser Helgas daglige rutine ud? Hun vågner som en brusende flaske, men kun når du er klar til at stå op! Hun vil lave uendelige cirkler ved hendes foderbøtte, indtil frokost dukker op. Hun har én tablet for hendes ledd, (hendes bagben), men spiser den som om det var en smagfuld godbit! Efter mad har hun en gurkensnuffle-mat og løber til den som et glade barn, selv hviskende ved døre for at åbne dem. Derefter går hun straks tilbage og sover, velklædt, mens jeg arbejder. Hun har en 30-40 minutters gang om middag, følges op af en slikmat, derefter sover hun i nogle timer. Senere går vi i en anden gang, og hun får sin te i fordyrende puslespil, fordi hun elsker at arbejde for sin mad. Hun er altid villig til at spille med legetøj, kneade sin nylonben eller spille fangemester, men når klokken er 20:00, tager hun sig selv til seng på sofaen og rører sig ikke igen, før hun kigger hurtigt, inden hun sover hele natten igennem. 2. Hvad gør hende til en perfekt husgæst? Helga er en perfekt husgæst. Hun lytter første gang til alt, har aldrig haft et ulykke inde, hun har vist ingen tegn på afskedsangst – hun er en af de bedste adoptionshunde, jeg har haft fornøjelsen af at se på. 3. Hvad er din favorit "egetræk" ved hende? Du kan undertiden finde Helga sovende i garderoben som en kat! 4. Er der noget om hendes adfærdsudvikling, der er forbedret siden hun er i omsorg? Helga er hundereaktiv – hun er ikke reaktiv over for mennesker, cykler eller cyklister. Hun har gode manerer under promenader, men hun elsker at skære, når hun ser en hund. Da jeg tog hende i omsorg for syv måneder siden, ville hun blive oprørt hele promenaden, bare fordi hun så en hund. Nu, dog, vil Helga stadig skære, når hun ser en hund, men hun kan nu komme ud af det 10 gange hurtigere og fortsætte med at nyde sin promenade som ingenting skete. Helga lærer hurtigt, hun måske kun vejer 10 kg, men hun har en meget stor hjerne, der gerne vil lære! 5. Hvad er ét "små sejr" Helga har haft for nylig, der gjorde dig rigtig stol? Helga gør mig kontinuerligt stol, hun har været så langt. Helga havde tidligere svært ved at være udenfor, hun elskede ikke at stoppe selv én sekund. Vi har arbejdet med at vise Helga, at det er okay at stoppe, når man er ude og tage en pause. Nu, har Helga endelig lagt tempoet ned og lærer ikke at blive frustreret. Vi elsker at sidde på en bænk hver dag og vi kan nu slappe af meget mere uden at være opmærksomme. En stor tak til Helgas omsorgsmor for at dele det med os. Vi ved, at Helgas evige hjem er derude hvorhelst, og hvis du tror, at det måske er dig, tag et kig på Helgas fulde genoptræningskrav her. Bemærk venligst, at Helga søger et hjem for voksne med ingen andre hunde.

Let’s reintroduce you to our special girl Helga, one of our longest staying residents here at the Hotel. Helga has been with us for nearly a year and was significantly struggling to adapt to kennel life, after she was sadly brought in as a “fake stray”. Thankfully, one of our fantastic volunteers stepped in to welcome Helga into her home as a foster, and she has been there ever since. Even though Helga has settled well into life on foster, she is still looking for her forever home and so, we asked her foster mum some questions that any potential adopters might want to know! 1. What does Helga’s daily routine look like? She wakes up like a bottle of pop, but only when you’re ready to get up! She’ll do endless spins by her food bowl until breakfast appears. She has one tablet for her joints (her hind legs) but eats it like it’s a treat! After food she has a cucumber snuffle mat and runs to it like an excited child, even pawing at doors to open them. Then, she goes straight back to sleep, all tucked in, while I work. She has a 30–40-minute walk at lunchtime, followed by a lick mat, then sleeps again for a few hours. Later, we go for another walk and she has her tea in enrichment puzzles because she loves working for her food. She’s always up for toys, chewing her nylon bone or a game of tug but once it hits 8pm, she takes herself to bed on the sofa and doesn’t move again until a quick wee break before bed, then sleeps right through until morning. 2. What makes her a good house guest? Helga is the perfect house guest. She listens first time to everything, has never had an accident inside, she has shown no signs of separation anxiety- she's one of the best behaved foster dogs I've had the pleasure of looking after. 3. What is your favourite “quirk” about her? You'll sometimes find Helga sleeping in the wardrobe like a cat! 4. Is there anything about her behaviour that has changed for the better since she has been on foster? Helga is dog reactive- she is not reactive to people, bikes, or cyclists. She has good manners on walks but does like to get vocal when she spots a dog. When I first took her on foster 7 months ago, she would see one dog and get worked up for the whole walk. Though, fast forward to now and Helga will still bark when she sees a dog, but she can now snap out of it 10x faster and carry on enjoying her walk like nothing happened. Helga picks things up very quickly, she may only weigh 10kg but she has a very big brain that wants to learn! 5. What's one “small victory” Helga's had recently that made you really proud? Helga constantly makes me proud; she has come so far. Helga used to find just being outside overwhelming, she didn't like to stop even for a second. We've been working on showing Helga that it's okay to stop when out and take a break. Now, Helga is finally slowing down and learning not to get frustrated. We like to go and sit on a bench daily and we can now relax a lot better without being alert. A huge thank you to Helga's foster mum for sharing that with us. We know Helga's forever home is out there somewhere and if you think that might be you, take a look at Helga’s full rehoming requirements here. Please note, Helga is looking for an adult-only home with no other dogs.
