Ember *****ADOPTED*****
Ember D2025-04
• Can be an only dog with owners around most of the time
• Can also live with another dog
• No cats
• No children or older teenage children
Ember is an 18-month-old Cavalier described by her foster family as a people lover but is a bit jumpy and skittish at first. The way to her heart is through food, then she will be friends. It takes her longer to warm up to men than women but food is the way to her heart. Whilst out walking she is very interested in the people around her and will often stop and look at someone but if approached she will back away. If that new person has treats or is given treats and waits for her to come to them she will say hello and this has worked successfully several times. Like most dogs she does not like strangers leaning or towering over her. They need to approach her on her level.
Ember would prefer a quieter, calmer home with adults or older dog savvy teenagers. She becomes very stressed in a noisy busy household. Walking outside she has shown no reaction to children. She has walked past several playgrounds and schools, she would just prefer not to be in close company with them as it’s less stressful for her.
Cannot be homed with cats
Ember is in foster with a much larger older dog who will only play with her when she feels like it. Ember is fine with this. She loves to play with another dog but is equally happy to play with her toys and chews alone. She will also play tug with her foster family. She is lovely around the resident dog but not reliant on her company.
Ember goes out for two walks a day, morning and evening and absolutely loves being out and about. She goes alone as her foster sister isn’t up for long treks anymore and Ember is quite happy to go without the company of another dog. She’s a little chaotic when we first leave, weaving from smell to smell so you need to be careful she doesn’t trip you up but she soon settles down. She would however benefit from further training on the lead. If foster mum stops to chat whilst out and about she is very well behaved and will sit and wait until she’s finished. She is happy to meet polite well behaved dogs and is very polite in return. She will however shy away from in your face dogs and is wary of big dogs and is reluctant to say hello. This is getting better as long as they are calm. She loves going to cafes and having more treats!
Ember sleeps in a covered crate in the living room with the resident dog in the same room. She sleeps very well, usually from around 10.30pm to 8 the next morning. We suspect she would also be one of those dogs who’d love to sleep near their humans if allowed.
Ember is house trained but doesn’t signal so needs to be let out regularly.
Ember is VERY food oriented and very greedy!. We would recommend a slow feeder and if fed by another dog she needs to be watched so she doesn’t steal food. It’s easier to feed separately if possible. Both dogs are given treats together at the same time and Ember is very good sitting and waiting for her turn.
Ember has not had the best start in life and the last couple of months have been somewhat disruptive for her so she is looking for stability and love more than anything. She needs a family who are prepared to put in the work to make her the well-rounded dog she is capable of being. She would like an active family who will take her on adventures and lovely walks as she loves being outside. A home that is not too busy or noisy so she can settle in calmly. She can be homed with another dog who likes to play but is also calm and wouldn’t mind sharing their people and toys with a new sister. She can also be homed as an only dog as she loves her people and bonds with them pretty quickly. They would need to be prepared to have her as a little shadow whilst she settles in and work on her staying home alone.
