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. She was very scared when she first arrived and had clearly had little handling or socialisation, making human contact very worrying for her. Nicole briefly moved into a foster home to learn about home life but returned to us following one incident where she became tangled in her lead and harness, panicked and nipped her fosterer. This was a single incident during a frightening experience, but adopters must understand that she can panic if she feels trapped or overwhelmed. Nicole has now been back at the rescue for just over a month and is making lovely progress. She still doesn't like being picked up or handled, but is much better than she was and is increasingly comfortable spending time around people she trusts. She enjoys sitting in the play yard with her trusted people and responds brilliantly to treats, which are helping to build her confidence. She is a curious, cheeky little character who loves food, toys and snoozing in her bed, and she is even trying hard to be kennel clean. Nicole loves other dogs and takes comfort from their presence, so she will need a kind and confident resident dog to help her feel secure and act as a role model. She needs a calm, quiet, adult-only home with adopters who have experience of nervous ex-breeding dogs. As she has never successfully experienced home life, she will need patience with house training and learning the basics of being a pet. Lead and harness training will also need to be introduced very carefully because of her previous experience. Nicole still has a long way to go, but her curiosity and wonderful personality are beginning to shine through. With the right home, canine companion and plenty of time and understanding, we hope she will continue to blossom. Our vets noted a slightly unusual heart rhythm, and a heart scan showed mild valve changes. She currently requires no treatment and is expected to live a normal, happy life, although routine heart checks and monitoring for future symptoms are recommended. She has been treated for a ear infection. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.
