Toast adoptieren

Toast is a delicate little girl who came to us from a breeder and has been slowly finding her confidence in the world. When she first arrived, she was very nervous and overwhelmed by everything around her, often running to hide in her bed. Since arriving in foster, it has become clear that Toast is an extremely nervous girl and remains very unsure of new situations. She does not enjoy handling and can panic when she feels pressured, so she will need careful, gentle management and time to feel safe. Toast is currently living with a cat in her foster home and can live with a dog-savvy cat who respects her space. She will need a quiet, adult-only home with experienced adopters who understand nervous ex-breeding dogs and can support her without expectation or pressure. A calm, predictable environment will be essential for her ongoing confidence building. She has come on in some areas, but handling still needs to be approached very carefully. While she has previously shown some progress with being picked up and having a harness fitted, this must always be done with patience and awareness of her limits, as she can become overwhelmed. Toast is currently working on her harness training, and does allow her foster mummy to put one on her now, but she is not comfortable on a lead just yet and will need continued support and encouragement to build confidence. She is still learning about house training, and seems to be clean in the home when her foster mummy is around but can have a few accidents when she is left alone. With time and patience, she will begin to pick this up and understand the rules of house training. She need a kind, confident resident dog in her new home to help guide her and provide reassurance as she adjusts to home life. Toast arrived with a low-grade luxating patella on her left side, which may improve with gentle exercise. She has also been treated for mucky ears, right-sided otitis, hot spots, and dermatitis, all of which are improving with care. Her general health will need to continue to be monitored in her new home, with any future treatment provided as needed. Behind her shy beginnings is a sensitive little dog who is still learning to trust the world around her. With patience, understanding, and the right experienced home, Toast will continue to take small steps forward at her own pace. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.
