Adopter Nicole
Shih Tzu · Kvinde · Voksen · 5 år
21-05-26 Nicole er kommet til os fra en avlere og leder nu efter sin evige hjem. Hun er en flink lille pige, der forståeligt nok føler sig meget bange og overvældet i at være her. Det ses, at hun ikke har været meget håndteret eller socialiseret før, så menneskehånd er ret bekymrende for hende lige nu, men vi vil fortsætte med at hjælpe hende forsigtigt med at lære, at hænder kan være venlige. Nicole skal have et roligt og stille voksen kun hjem, hvor hun kan sætte sig ind på egen tempo. Hun ville rigtig godt gøre af adoptører, der har erfaring med nervøse eks-avlshunde og som forstår tålmodighed, tid og trøst, som hun vil have, mens hun lærer at stole. Hun elsker andre hunde og får stor trøst af deres tilstedeværelse, så Nicole skal have en anden venlig og selvsikker bondehund i sit nye hjem, der tager hende under deres vinger og hjælper hende med at føle sig sikker og tryg. Da Nicole aldrig har boet i et hus før, skal hun have patiente adoptører, der er parate til at hjælpe hende med at lære alt om huslivet fra bunden. Hun skal lære nye færdigheder som tøjletræning og skal også lære alt om at gå i tøjle og halsbånd. Med tid, venlighed og masser af omsorg vil Nicole begynde at vokse i selvtillid og lade sin personlighed skinnene. Vores dyrlæger har bemærket, at Nicole har en lidt usædvanlig hjertetakt, så hun udførte en hjerteundersøgelse hos vores dyrlæger, som viste nogle lette ventrikelændringer. I denne fase har hun ikke brug for noget behandling, og den forventes at leve et normalt, glade liv, selvom vi anbefaler rutinemæssige hjertekontroller og overvågning for eventuelle fremtidige symptomer. Denne hund kan bo med en bopælshund.

Nicole has come to us from a breeder and is now searching for her forever home. When she first arrived, she was understandably feeling very scared and overwhelmed. It was clear she hadn’t had much handling or socialisation before, so human hands were quite worrying for her. Nicole did move into a wonderful foster home for a short period, where she began learning all about home life. Unfortunately, she has now returned to our care following one moment where, while learning about wearing a lead and harness, she became tangled in the lead and panicked. In her fear, she nipped her fosterer. This was a single incident during a very frightening experience for her, but it is important that her future adopters understand that she may panic when she feels overwhelmed or trapped. Since coming back into our care, Nicole has settled back in well and is trying so hard to be brave. She has a wonderfully inquisitive nature and is beginning to show us more of her sweet personality. She is still very worried about being handled and can bark when she is unsure, but she is making progress and absolutely loves her food. Nicole will be looking for a calm and quiet adult-only home where she can settle in completely at her own pace. She will need adopters who have experience with nervous ex-breeding dogs and who understand the patience, time and reassurance she will need as she learns to trust. She loves other dogs and takes great comfort from their presence, so Nicole will need another kind and confident resident dog in her new home to take her under their wing and help her feel safe and secure. As Nicole had never lived in a home before moving to foster, she will need patient adopters who are ready to help her continue learning everything about home life. She will need to learn new skills such as house training and will also need to learn about walking on a lead and wearing a harness. Her adopters will need to take things very slowly and be mindful that she can panic if she feels frightened or restricted. With time, kindness and plenty of TLC, we hope Nicole will continue to grow in confidence and learn that she is safe. She is trying so hard to be brave, and we know that with the right home, she has the potential to blossom. Our vets have noted that Nicole has a slightly unusual heart rhythm, so she underwent a heart scan at our vets which showed some mild valve changes. At this stage she does not require any treatment and is expected to live a normal, happy life, although we would recommend routine heart checks and monitoring for any future symptoms. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.
