Hetty *****ADOPTED*****
Hetty D2025-17
• Needs a resident dog to learn from
• Dog-savvy children
• Not cat tested
• Patient family to help her adjust
Hetty is a 6-year-old King Charles Cavalier described by her foster family as a brave girl. Despite being quite shut down and in poor physical condition when she came into foster care, she has settled really well and is beginning to finally enjoy her life. Initially nervous at finding herself in a new world, she now loves meeting new people and dogs and comes to greet visitors with a wagging tail. She hasn’t yet found the joy in cuddles but is happy to continue the practice. She adores being stroked and brushed.
Grade 5/6 heart murmur. Medication to be confirmed
Not child-tested but should be okay with dog-savvy kids who know she needs time to come to them.
Not cat tested.
She has not yet found joy in toys and playing but does love to steal a teddy for a cuddle.
Hetty is only now learning to walk with a lead attached to her harness, investigating and sniffing her surroundings under supervision. She likes to be with one of her doggy friends from her foster home and lead walking will need to be gradually introduced as she becomes comfortable. She is happy to have her harness and lead put on and just needs patience she learns with lots of praise.
Hetty currently sleeps downstairs with the other dogs in the home. She loves a dog bed or an open crate.
Housetraining is not quite there, but she does try to go out to the garden to toilet and gets praised when she does.
Hetty loves her food but is easily pushed away by other dogs so is fed in a different room or under supervision so she is not bullied. She loves her treats but takes a lot longer to eat them than the other dogs in the home.
Hetty would love a quiet home with another confident dog. She loves all the dogs she has met. She would love to have a garden to sniff and explore and to practice her harness and lead walking. She would love to have someone around most of the time who can teach her about cuddles and encourage her to be the dog she should have always been.
