Cloe adopteren

Cloe is a very worried little lady who has come to us from a breeder and is still learning that people can be kind. It is clear she has had very little positive experience with humans in the past, and as a result she finds trust incredibly difficult. She can be flighty when worried and may choose to protect herself if she feels pressured or uncomfortable. Cloe is a sweet but complex girl who has already shown us that, once she truly trusts someone, she has a wonderfully affectionate side. Although progress has been slow, it has also been incredibly rewarding. She now greets her favourite carers every morning with an excited waggy tail and is trying her absolute hardest to be brave around the people she trusts. She has made lovely progress with handling and has recently enjoyed a full groom. Cloe was an absolute angel throughout, allowing herself to be groomed beautifully. She has also recently been bathed and gently dried, taking it all in her stride. These may seem like small achievements, but for a little dog who once found human contact so frightening, they are huge milestones. We have also discovered that being picked up is only scary for Cloe at first. Once she is safely in someone's arms, she relaxes completely and allows herself to be handled without fuss. We truly believe that, with continued patience and positive experiences, this fear will continue to fade and she will become even more confident. Cloe has also recently started her harness training. Although she is still a little too timid to venture out on walks just yet, she is making a fantastic start and we are confident that, with a little more time and encouragement, she will soon be ready to begin exploring the world beyond the rescue. Cloe will need a calm, quiet, adult-only home with no visiting children and adopters who have experience of very worried ex-breeding dogs. Her new family will need to understand that building a relationship with her will take time and that the best way to win her trust is to allow her to approach on her own terms, without rushing or placing expectations on her. She absolutely loves the company of other dogs and will need a kind, calm and confident resident dog in her new home. Having a canine friend gives her comfort and reassurance and will help guide her as she learns about life beyond the rescue. We have also discovered that Cloe is not comfortable around cats and can become quite fixated by them, so she will need a cat-free home. As she has never lived in a home before, Cloe's adopters will need to be patient as she learns about house training and everyday routines. Progress with Cloe may never be fast, but she proves time and time again that she is willing to try for the people she trusts. We are incredibly hopeful for Cloe's future. She has already come so much further than we ever imagined possible in the rescue environment, and we truly believe she will flourish in a patient, understanding home. She simply needs someone willing to take a chance on her, give her all the time she needs, and let her discover that the world isn't such a scary place after all. Cloe has had seven teeth extracted at the time of her spay, as well as an inguinal hernia repaired. She also had a lump removed from her right upper eyelid. Cloe has a travel document. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.
