Pixie
DOB: November 2019
Sex: Female
Breed: Cavalier King Charles x
Size: Medium
Energy level: Medium – high
About me: Pixie is a sweet spaniel who loves to go for a long walk but also cuddle up on the sofa.
Pixie really struggled in kennels so we found a foster home for her. Although she has settled well into another home environment she does display behavioural issues which will need managing. Sadly, she has had a lot of changes in her life and this has resulted in fear based growling. We had a behaviourist assess her and she believes that this is her way of dealing with multiple changes. She will need someone who is experienced and confident in dealing with this type of behaviour so that she can flourish into the typical spaniel we know her to be.
Cats: No, she cannot live with cats or small furries.
Dogs: Yes, she could live with another dog after several meets together.
Children: Adult only home.
Ideal home: Pixie will need an experienced and patient owner, either a single person or couple. She will need a home that can give her plenty of mental and physical stimulation to keep her happy, as well as redirect her anxiety around any changes in her life. She doesn’t resource guard but it can sound intimidating if you are not confident dealing with this type of behaviour. The behaviourist is also happy to support any new adopter.
Comments from her foster family:
Once Pixie had settled in, she is incredibly affectionate and loyal. She loves to play with her soft toys and is very food oriented. Using high value treats helps when trying to diffuse a situation where she feels particularly anxious. She is completely housetrained and loves to watch (and chase!) the wildlife in the garden. Overall she is a lovely dog and will make a great companion but she will need someone who is patient and understanding.
Diego
DOB: December 2020
Sex: Male
Breed: Lurcher x (possibly greyhound x labrador)
Size: Large
Energy level: Medium – high
About me: Diego is a lovely dog to have around, he enjoys going out on car rides and loves to have zoomies. He is a sensitive soul and likes to be sociable when he feels comfortable, which is the main reason why he is struggling in the kennel environment. He walks well on a lead and loves to play with dogs he knows, unless it’s raining and then decides he would prefer his home comforts such as his warm snuggly duvet!
Cats: No.
Dogs: Diego could live with a female dog after several meets here at the shelter. He could also be the l my dog in the home.
Children: 12 years and over.
Ideal home: Diego will need an experienced owner who can give him further training and a consistent routine. He will need a garden of his own.
