30-11-2024 Opal is a sweet but nervous girl who has come to us from a breeder. She prefers to be snuggled up in bed with her friends but does allow you to pick her up and stroke her and once she realises you are going to be kind she starts to relax a little. Opal will need an adult only, calm and gentle home where there is at least one other dog who is very kind and who will allow her to cuddle up to them for comfort and support if she wants to. This will help raise her confidence with people and she will watch them and start to copy what they do and this will also help her learn new skills like house training and lead walking. These may take her time to learn as the garden may be as scary as the inside of a home at first but with love, gentle words of encouragement and praise Opal will gradually start to realise there is nothing to fear and her adopters will see her become the happy little dog we know is waiting to emerge. Opal had an umbilical hernia repaired when she was spayed and is recovering well. She could have a hip issue like hip dysplacia and this will need to be monitored
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.
