Adopter Gabriel
Beagle · Mand · Voksen · 4 år
Gabriel kom oprindeligt til os fra en avlere, og for ham var verden et meget skrækkende sted. Han havde angst for mennesker, nye miljøer og ubekendte oplevelser lavede ham føle sig overvældet, og selv noget som en simple halskæde på var en stor udfordring. Han havde brug for tid, tålmodighed og blidt opmuntring for at begynde at føle sig sikker. Gabriel blev adopteret i en kort periode, men desværre passede det ikke for ham, og han blev sendt tilbage efter at have vist uønskede adfærd i hjemmet, og desværre gjorde han de forkerte valg, når han følte sig ukomfortabel i situationer, hvilket resulterede i, at Gabriel bid. Han vil have et roligt hjem med voksne uden børn, der bor i huset eller besøger, for at sikre, at han kan få den struktur, som han har brug for. Gabriel kan have svært ved besøgende, så han vil have et hjem uden for mange besøgende og evnen til at sætte ham i et andet værelse, når folk kommer. Han vil have adoptører, der er villige til at møde ham flere gange for at udvikle et band med ham! Gabriel kræver et højt struktureret, grænsefokuseret hjem med erfarn ejer, der er selvsikker, rolig og konsistent. Han er ikke en hund, der skal være på sofanen eller klemme sig sammen med legetøj, og vi vil ikke have ham sat op til fiasko. I stedet har han brug for klare regler, sit eget rum og vejledning, der hjælper ham med at føle sig tryg og forstå, hvad der forventes af ham. Hans adoptører skal forstå, at han har potentiale til at bevogte højkvalitetsgenstande eller sovepladser, og han vil have brug for at arbejde med ham. At respektere hans grænser er afgørende for hans velbefindende og succes. Han vil have fysisk og mental stimulering hver eneste dag, uanset vejr. Regelmæssige ture, forbedring og hjernelege er et must for at holde hans aktive sind engageret og hjælpe ham med at forblive balanceret og rolig. Trods hans svære start har Gabriel gjort bemærkelsesværdig fremskridt. I dag kan han ikke vente på sine ture og bliver synligt glade, når han ser sin halskæde komme frem. Han tillader nu, at hans halsbånd sættes på og går smukt, og nyder fuldt ud sin udendørs adventure. Gabriel er en meget intelligent dreng og en sand matematiker, hvilket gør træning både belønnende og sjov. Han kender allerede kommandoer som "sæt" og "paw", og elsker at lære nye færdigheder. Han trives med klare instruktioner, konsistens og kontinuerlig træning, og vil bedst fungerer med en erfaren ejer, der elsker at arbejde med hunde og bygge et stærkt, struktureret forhold. Gabriel dannes meget stærke bånd med sine mennesker og er dybt lojal, når tillid er oprettet. På grund af dette har han vist tegn på separationsangst og vil have adoptører, der er hjemmefra for de fleste af tiden. Han er ikke egnet til at blive alene i lang tid og vil blomstre bedst med nogen, der kan gøre ham til en central del af deres daglige rutine. Selvom han ikke søger konstant fysisk tættheds, elsker han efter at et bånd er dannet, omsorg og blid omgang på sin egen måde. Han kan leve som den eneste hund og nyde én-til-én opmærksomhed, eller potentielt sammen med en rolig, selvsikker husmandshund, der respekterer hans plads. Han vil have et hjem uden katte eller små pelsdyr. Gabriel har arbejdet utroligt hårdt for at overvinde sine frygt og er allerede kommet vidt. Han leder nu efter et fast hjem, der vil give ham forståelse, struktur, engagement og muligheden for at leve en opfyldt liv. For den rette, erfarn person vil Gabriel være en lojal og belønnende partner. Denne hund kan bo sammen med en husmandshund.

Gabriel originally came to us from a breeder, and for him the world felt like a very frightening place. He was worried of people, and new environments and unfamiliar experiences left him feeling overwhelmed. Even something as simple as having a lead put on was a huge challenge. He needed time, patience and gentle encouragement to begin to feel safe. Gabriel was adopted for a short period, but unfortunately it was not the right fit for him. He was returned after displaying unwanted behaviours in the home and making the wrong choices when he felt uncomfortable in a situation, which did result in Gabriel biting. He will need a quiet, adult-only home without resident or visiting children. Gabriel can struggle with visitors coming to the house, so he will need a home without too many visitors and where he can be placed in a separate room when people do come over. His adopters will also need to be willing to meet him multiple times before adoption so that he has the opportunity to develop a bond and build trust with them. Gabriel is a very sensitive boy who feels anxious about a lot of things. During his time here we are trying to help him feel more comfortable by giving him the tools to know how to be more relaxed in these scary situations. To Gabriel, new people are very scary and he feels that he needs to tell them to go away by barking and lunging, when put in poor situations this has led to him having a bite history. He is a very sweet dog but he has very little he trusts in this world and unfortunately humans are top of that list at the moment. With people who have earned his trust he is exceptionally sweet and loving, he loves to give you cuddles and he really thinks he should be a lap dog. When introductions are done slowly and in a manner that he can cope with he will allow that person into his circle reasonably quickly and then he gets very excited to see them. As he has had very little in this world he does become exceptionally attached to his trusted humans and doesn't like to share them with other dogs or other people, so he is looking for a home with a maximum of two people and will need to be the only dog in the home. Adopters with experience of guarding behaviours are essential to help him succeed in his next home and make sure it really will be his forever home. Gabriel walks nicely on his harness and gets very excited to see dogs when out and about but is wary of strangers walking past, for this reason he is muzzled when out as it keeps him safe in the event of someone getting too close or trying to touch him. He has shown signs of resource guarding his food here and any high value long lasting treats. He has Kongs as he is happy for the empty Kong to be removed from his kennel once he feels he's finished with it, but these are things that will have to be managed in his new home. It would be a good idea to limit his access to the kitchen in the home to avoid the possibility of him getting things that he may be inclined to guard, especially until he settles and the bond has been built with him to ensure that he trusts that you won't take things away from him without him getting something higher value in its place. Gabriel socialises well with other dogs here and does enjoy chasing dogs around our big play yard here, so having the opportunity to continue making friends with playful dogs in his new home is necessary to keep him happy and help him to continue to grow in confidence. Someone will be incredibly lucky to have Gabriel as their companion, they will just have to understand that he does require the time and effort to make sure he progresses and starts to see the world is less scary than he thinks it is. Gabriel will need more than one meet and greet with his prospective adopters to allow him time to build a bond and feel comfortable with them before being adopted.
