Eileen AKA Boo is a 6 year old Bichon who has been in rescue since Valentine’s Day and she is definitely a heart breaker. She’s has been used for breeding and sadly has not had the life she truly deserves. She is a shy, nervous little dog who desperately wants to trust and be loved. She’s more nervous around women than men but has started following foster mum around and looks for her if she disappears into another room. This is how she came by her nickname of Boo as she will appear from nowhere and look at you with her big chocolate button eyes and then walk away when you move.
She likes to play hide and seek too and will sometimes take herself off when she needs some quiet time. She’s nervous of new people coming into the home and will take herself off to her safe place and watch what’s going on from a distance. She’s trying to figure out this whole new world she’s in. She’s not used to people being kind to her. At the moment when she’s approached, she moves away from you but when she’s feeling brave, she will come up to you and give you a little sniff.
She will let you put on her harness with a lot of gentle persuasion and patience. She hasn’t been out for a walk yet but is practicing in the garden. She is showing improvement every single day. She has the cutest little bark, and will be a real character when she finds her confidence.
She doesn’t yet play with toys but has shown an interest in the dog’s toy box so were confident it won’t be long as she will be playing or carrying them around.
Eileen could live with a dog savvy cat as she has shown absolutely no interest in the cat in her foster home. She could also live in a home with either no children or older teenagers.
Eileen sleeps with the other dogs in the home downstairs and is as good as gold sleeping all night.
Eileen is completely house trained and will go to the back door to let you know she needs to out.
The way to Eileen’s heart is definitely food, she absolutely loves food. She waits patiently with the other dogs to be fed. She needs to be supervised when being fed because as she will allow the other dogs to eat her food.
Eileen would like and needs a very patient quiet special home with humans who will give her the time and space she needs to adjust to her new world. She needs a home where her new owners have experience and a good understanding of ex puppy farm dogs. Someone who ideally is home most of the day. She would like furry friends too for company and to continue to learn from. She really is a lovely special little lady who is desperately trying to work out humans and her new world. She loves a soft dog bed and would definitely love one of these please. In time she will be the most amazing dog she just needs to find her special humans who will give her time, patience, love and understanding and in return you will have a best friend for life.
