18-08-24 Shirley is a beautiful girl who came to us from her breeder in early 2022, making her one of our longest stayers. Shirley was extremely fearful when she first arrived and if pushed out of her comfort zone could chose to make the wrong decisions, purely through fear. She quickly moved to a foster home, where she has done very well and started to learn all about home life. She has now moved to a new foster home to continue her progress and we will update further as she settles in.
Shirley is house trained, but may need some reminders of this in her new home. She has learned how to walk on a harness and lead in quiet areas and does seem to enjoy going for walks. She really loves spending time in the garden and also loves to play with toys, which is lovely to see. Shirley is still a very worried girl, who isn't keen on being handled but with time, love and patience and adopters who will let her settle in at her own pace she will continue to progress. Once she gets to know you, she will follow you around the house and does enjoy being near you.
Shirley will be looking for an adult only home, with no visiting children and would need adopters who have experience with scared ex-breeding dogs. She will need at least one other friendly, resident dog in her new home to be her friend and help to boost her confidence.

Shirley has settled well and really does need a kind resident dog to show her the way, she follows them around and gets all her confidence from them, she loves to snuggle in the dog beds and potter in the garden. Shirley has been clean in the home and is happy to be left for a few hours with her pals. Shirley has slept quietly downstairs with her pals and I have not heard a peep from her. When I look into her eyes I still see sadness and a little girl that really needs a chance.

Shirley moved into foster with us a few weeks ago, she is extremely easy to be around and is living in a family home, with men of all sizes who ignore her, multiple dogs big and small and she just blends in. She has not barked once and follows me around wagging her tail. Shirley is happy to be left for a few hours and is also fully crate trained. She sleeps in the kitchen with the other dogs and does not make a sound. Shirley is house trained.
Please read our information on ADOPTING EX-BREEDING DOGS before you apply.
PLEASE NOTE: We nearly always home dogs who have come from breeders where there is ALREADY A RESIDENT DOG living in the house. They have usually never lived in a house before and are only used to canine company. They usually get their confidence and learn faster with another dog to copy from. This also helps with house training and learning how to walk on a lead. They will make lovely pets but do need a lot of love, time and patience. If the ex breeding dog you are interested in can be an only dog it will say so in its write up. Please read our information on ADOPTING EX-BREEDING DOGS before you apply.
