Inka

What chance does Inka have? Some dogs wait only a day for a home, some wait a week, maybe two. And then there are dogs like Inka, the ones that are overlooked and pushed to the side merely because she builds her relationships on trust and isn't over eager to give her conviction on the first meeting. Trust can and has been earned, and once she trusts you, she is your companion and your play mate for life. Inka is the cool girl in school that everyone wants to be. She is mysterious, calm and too herself, but playful and fun, and obviously absolutely gorgeous. Inka originally came to us from a breeder and was adopted for a short period of time but showed some signs of behavioural habits in the home, that were not displayed in the kennels. Particularly, resource guarding things like her empty bowls and toys. We are not sure what Inka has been through in her past, but we can only assume it is traumatizing enough that she feels she has to guard her favorite items, or she may never get them back. People want easy. They want a dog that will greet them with wags and kisses, ones that will snuggle on the sofa from day one. They don't want a dog that needs time, patience and careful handling. But the reward? You have a companion that holds her relationships to the highest of standards and will give you all of the loyalty and love she can give. Probably in the form of requesting belly rubs, and this is more of a reward for Inka, but submitting onto her back and being vulnerable, even if it is for a fuss, is a huge step from where she began. Inka has lived with larger male dogs, and seems to do okay but we believe she would be her best self as an only dog. Inka's adopters will need to be stern, smart and consistent and will need to continue to work with her on boundaries and manners, but once you prove to her you are worthy, you will be the luckiest adopter in the world.
