29-08-24 Sparkle is a beautiful but very scared little girl who has come to us from a breeder to find her forever home. She is a spicy lady who  is overwhelmed to find herself here and isn't used to being handled or used to the company of people. She does nip at the moment if she is approached as she is so very scared and needs a huge amount of patience to help her relax. She is most comfortable when in the company of other dogs and has never known life without their company. Sparkle loves to snuggle up to other dogs in bed. She will need a kind confident resident dog that she can copy around the house, play with and share a bed with the snuggle next to. She has never lived in a home before so will need understanding adopters who can help her learn new skills such as housetraining and learning to walk on a lead/harness when she is ready. She will need an adult only home as she would find children too overwhelming at the moment and she will need a calm home that she can thrive in and an adopter who is experienced with scared dogs. She is such a sweet soul who will flourish in the right home where she can have lots of TLC and time to come out of her shell.She has a PETS travel document.

Shortly after Sparkle’s arrival she let us know that she was holding onto a big secret .. she had a tummy full of babies!!! Within a couple of weeks she gave birth to 4 beautiful puppies and was SUCH a good mumma to them and raised them with so much love and care. They’ve all flown the nest now so it’s given Sparkle her chance to shine, and wow is she doing just that! She has such a huge character for such a small dog and she makes us laugh and smile every day. She’s still not overly keen on being handled, but she is so much better than she was when she first came in. Having a belly full of babies probably made her feel a little protective, and uncomfortable too .. bless her. Sparkle would still love at least 1 resident dog in her new home to follow around and copy, and also snuggle up with as well. She adores having cuddles in bed with her kennel friends here, so it would be lovely if she could do that at home too. She would also LOVE to have her own toy basket if possible because I would say toys are possibly her favourite thing in the world … maybe 2nd to food!!! These are the main things we’ve been using to win her over, and it’s definitely working so far. She does have a way to go with being anywhere near a ‘normal’ dog and she would still benefit from having an experienced home, but we are hopeful that she will realise eventually that humans are kind. She just needs to be shown a lot of love, patience and TLC, and to not be given up on. Please don’t keep this precious little lady waiting too much longer!
