If you are interested in adopting a dog that does not say it can be homed with a cat and wish us to cat test please let us know and we will be happy to do this.

06-10-2024 Freya has come to us from a breeder to find her forever home. She is a very timid and scared girl who is unfortunately very shut down at the moment and having a hard time settling into her new environment, and finds so much comfort in her kennel mates. She currently spends most of her time in her safety bubble, which consists of being cuddled in bed with her friends. Due to her past experiences with human interactions, at the moment we are taking a slow approach at warming her up to people as she needs reassurance and to feel safe. Freya would suit best in a home with at least one other resident dog to rely on for comfort and to help build confidence. She will need to be taught house training and how to walk on a lead as she has not had the experience yet. Freya is a very worried girl that is needing a very patient home to give her a chance.

31-10-24 UPDATE

I’ve been looking after Freya for the whole time she’s been at the rescue and even though an outsider would still think she’s terrified, she’s actually made a lot of progress and is trying her hardest to be brave. When she first arrived, she was a heap of nerves who would hide behind the beds in the back of her kennel. For the first couple of days she wouldn’t make any eye contact whatsoever and it was even a struggle to get her to eat because she was so overwhelmed. I left her to it and kept my distance until she got used to my routine, and since then she’s been taking small steps forward with her confidence. She’s still way too nervous to approach me for a fuss of any sort, but she will now take treats from my hand if they’re tasty enough. This may not sound like a lot, but for a dog like Freya it is huge. She’s still very uncomfortable being handled so this is something I’ve been working on with her, and thankfully she is already getting better. This week she allowed me to take her into the grooming room and cut the mats out of her ears and she actually did really well.

Freya will still need an experienced home with at least 1 resident dog, and adopters who have all the time and patience in the world to give to her. There probably won’t be any changes overnight or any miracles, but the time and work you put into her will be so worth it in the end .. I promise!

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.
