Adoptoi Barbara

English Bulldog · Nainen

Barbara of course is looking for a forever home but would also benefit from some time out of kennels in a foster home too. Barbara is a gorgeous girl looking for a quiet family that will understand she needs time and patience to get to know you and show off her cheeky side. We don’t have any history on where she came from but with how scared she was on arrival and how long it has taken to build bonds with her we feel she has either had very little human interaction or interaction that hasn’t been very nice. She is shy around handling if she doesn’t know you, but when she starts to trust she does enjoy a fuss. We are continuing to train her, using desensitization to touch and to the harness. She does walk nicely even just on her collar though. Barbara does have some arthritis in her spine and legs, but she is on medication for this which has helped a lot, so will need to be on this long term. We are looking for an adult only home, ideally with people that may have some experience with a nervous dog who have the time to work with Barbara and will be able to come to the rescue multiple times before she comes home to make sure she is comfortable. A secure, quiet garden is also a must as she may need some time to settle into the home before going out for walks. An ideal home would have a separate/safe area for Barbara if unknown visitors came to the house so she can have her own space if she becomes overwhelmed. Barbara has really started to shine with us and she has a happy, playful personality when she shows it. She loves toys and loves to zoom around off-lead, throwing toys in the air as she goes. If you have the space in your heart for a dog that needs some extra work, then we truly feel Barbara is right for you and will be an amazing companion!
