Snowflake is a 2.5 year old Westie described by her foster mum as a darling who still acts like a puppy. She is super friendly and has a lovely waggy tail. She loves attention and has been stuck to her foster mum like glue since her arrival. Her favourite thing is cuddling up and having all the attention. She is cautious in her new surroundings and not having the best start in life she now needs reassurance that you are not going to leave her.
Snowflake currently sleeps on the bed with her foster mum as she was not happy to be left alone downstairs. She seems to be afraid of the dark and is anxious when left alone. This is being worked on but is going to take time. She bonds very quickly and deeply due to never having been loved before. She has been left for 30 mins or so with the resident dog at home in the day and did settle but could be seen on camera pacing around.
She loves nothing better than being on the sofa or bed all cuddled up to her favourite human. She is wary of other dogs but not aggressive just doesn’t want to currently share any attention for cuddles. When she has been challenged by the she backs down immediately. As she has previously never been loved enough to be taught how to behave living in a house with other dogs and humans is all new to her so she will take time to decompress.
Snowflake was lucky enough to accompany her mum to her place of work and adored the attention she received from everyone. She is very afraid of noises from young children and shakes like a leaf when she sees or hears them in the distance and would bolt given the chance. Therefore, she cannot be homed with young children but older dog savvy teenage children who will fuss her would be fine.
She will walk on a lead but is not used to all the noises of a busy outside world so is currently on high alert and needs reassurance from her human and guidance from the resident dog. She eats well and is not greedy. She is also learning to take a treat from your hand. She finds the TV fascinating and would initially bark at it but now she just stares.
Snowflake has found the joys of a squeaky ball (OH JOY). It brings her so much happiness and it distracts her when she is feeling unsure. She is a work in progress with toilet training and is clean most of the time if taken outside every few hours. She knows she has to toilet before breakfast and waits to be let out. There has been the odd accident when she has been scared or if not taken outside quickly for some reason
Snowflake is like a puppy and needs to learn her boundaries around others, she craves attention because she hasn’t had enough before but in time she will settle.
She has seen the neighbour’s cat and just ignored so maybe okay with dog savvy cats
Snowflake could be an only dog if the owner was around most of the time and she wasn’t left. She is happy to spend time with a neighbour when foster mum in in work, or shopping, so its company she is craving. She could also live with another laid back dog who doesn’t mind sharing their human but who will help her gain confidence in the outside world but not be a complete push over and let her rule the roost. Older dog savvy children and parents who will just love her and help her build her confidence that not all humans are bad.
