20-06-24 Trust is a lovely lady who has come from her breeder to find a loving home. She is curious about the new world she has found herself in and is keen to explore but is a calm and laid back girl. She is curious about us and will come forwards to investigate us but is very shy when it comes to us getting close to her. If you scoop her up she will settle well and is very easy to handle, she is just a bit uncomfortable and confused so it is just clear she doesnt really understand affection just yet and so needs some practice before she is asking for a fuss. She will need a kind resident dog in her new home to help her adjust and help her settle. She will need to learn all about house training, walking on a lead and other such home skills. Trust will come along just great if she is given the time, patience and encouragement that she needs to start loving her new life and developing her own personality. She has had 7 teeth extracted at the time of her spay.

Little Trust has been with us for just over a month now and even though she is trying very hard to be brave, she is still a very shy girl who is definitely worried about our intentions. She has gotten better at being picked up and handled, but she still doesn’t enjoy it bless her.
I have noticed a difference in her particularly in the past 2 weeks, because she’s been kennelled with some very calm, lovely doggy friends. I think they have definitely helped her with her nerves and she’s become less skittish too. I think she has watched them having cuddles and fusses from me, and maybe it’s made her realise that I’m actually not going to hurt her. This is why it’s definitely still very important that she’s homed with a kind and confident resident dog!
I do think Trust will be quite overwhelmed when she first gets home and may shut down a little, but with a lot of time and patience, I think she will settle. I’m not sure if she’ll ever become a lap dog or a snuggle monster, but her adopters will need to be okay with that and just love her anyway. She’s an extremely sweet girl and she really deserves the world and more. I just hope she doesn’t have to wait here for much longer.

Trust had a professional groom with our lovely volunteer groomer last week and she was such a good girl. And doesn’t she look lovely!? She came out looking like a cloud and smelling like a million pounds!!
She’s also met some new friends recently who have now joined her kennel and she has been ever so welcoming and gentle to them. They’re very timid girls who have quite a few medical problems so are a bit vulnerable I suppose, but she’s been so good with them. I do feel as though her progress has stunted a little over the last few weeks, just because I think it’s too busy an environment for her to thrive in.
She’s still happy and doing okay, but I definitely think she’ll make a lot more progress in a home environment. I am really hoping someone will choose her soon because she is a really lovely dog, she just needs to be given a chance and shown a lot of love and TLC.
