Adopter Wilma

Kryssbrett · Hunn · Voksen · 4 år

Wilma ended up in our care due to an urgent plea from a charity called Pawprints to Freedom . She was living in a shelter in Romania, it was very overcrowded, loud and scary. When Wilma first arrived with them, she was said to be friendly towards people and they were even able to get a harness on her and let her enjoy outside the shelter for a little while. As it got busier though, there can't be as much 1-1 time spent with the dogs. When volunteers visited her 1 year later, she was extremely fearful and would never leave the safety of her cold, hard, wooden kennel. The only time she'd pop her head out was for food. It was heart breaking to see the difference in her from the first picture they ever sent. Wilma will need a quiet home with patient and understanding adopters whilst she learns how to be a dog again and enjoy life. Wilma has shown to be very comfortable around dogs. She won't interact though until all humans have vacated. She's very fearful of humans and so we believe the she'll need at least one other dog in the home that would be kind to her and show her the ropes. As Wilma can not yet be handled / have a collar and lead put on her, there is no safe way for us to cat test her and so we will need to look for a cat free home for her. Wilma shows to have moderate energy levels Wilma has never lived in a home before however, with the company of another dog, we believe she could be ok to be left for up to 4-5 hours Wilma is a long way off being able to get a collar and lead on her. It will be a very long time until she is confident enough to walk on a lead. Wilma has no form of basic training, this will all come in time once she has settled into her new home and learns to trust her adopters.
