AT LEAST ONE OTHER DOG IN THE HOME
OLDER DOG SAVVY CHILDRE
NOT CAT TESTED
TRIXIE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS AND NEEDS A LOVING AND PATIENT FAMILY WHO WILL WORK WITH HER TO ENCOURAGE HER OUT OF HER TIMID SHELL.
Trixie is a 6 months Old English sheepdog described by her foster mum as a very frightened little girl. She is mainly scared of people and new places. She’s is however excellent with other dogs. She’s taken a week to come out of her shell and feel safe in her environment. She has learnt what a sofa is and is happy to get up onto it for a cuddle
She is currently too scared to walk out the door but can be carried to the car and is getting used to going in the car if she needs to go to the vet etc. So far, she has only been out for 3 walks but this will come with time and patience in the right home.
She is scared of new people as in she does not want to be that close and takes time to assess if you can be trusted. She is now slowly coming around and will let you sit quietly next to her and is comfortable with gently being touched and stroked.
She has meet children and is not aggressive towards them but has just never seen any before coming into foster so is afraid of them. We would recommend a home with no children or with older dog savvy children who will allow her the time and space to decompress
Trixie is not cat tested but is young.
She had to be shaved when she came into foster due to her coat being extremely matted. As this grows she is going to need regular grooming and an understanding groomer if using one.
She is toilet trained and has not had any accidents in the house. She will chew if left alone as she becomes anxious in her alien surroundings.
Trixie is a work in progress and is going to take time to decompress, feel safe and more importantly feel loved. She is going to need interaction at her pace and may take a few steps backwards on that road to recovery.
Trixie need a loving and patient home with at least one other dog for confidence and reassurance. She will be an amazing addition to the right family who are willing to work with her to help her flourish.
