Ivy is a beautiful one-year-old crossbreed who recently came to Islay Dog Rescue after unforeseen changes in her family's circumstances. Having previously lived in a loving home, she is now looking for a forever family of her own. Ivy is a gentle, affectionate and energetic young dog who absolutely adores attention. Like many dogs her age, she is full of enthusiasm for life and enjoys being involved in everything her people are doing. She is also incredibly cuddly and thrives on companionship. A bright and intelligent girl, Ivy already knows several commands including sit, paw, other paw, spin and lie down. She is highly motivated by treats, making her eager to learn and a great candidate for continued training. In her previous home, Ivy displayed resource-guarding behaviours towards the resident dog, particularly around food, toys and people. Interestingly, this behaviour was not seen when she stayed with family members who had dogs, nor whilst attending doggy day care. This suggests that the behaviour may be linked to her home environment and the resources she values most. To give Ivy the very best chance of success, we feel she would be happiest as the only dog in the home. Ivy previously lived with young children and was always gentle with them. However, due to her excitable nature, tendency to jump up and history of resource guarding, we believe she would be best suited to a home with no children or dog-savvy children aged eight years and over who can understand and respect her boundaries while helping with her ongoing training. At the rescue, Ivy has met the resident cat and showed very little interest. She did not attempt to chase and was simply curious when the cat moved away. For this reason, we feel she could potentially live alongside a confident, dog-savvy cat, provided introductions are carried out carefully and appropriate boundaries are maintained.
