Tenby

I need a calm and quiet, adult only home where I can settle in at my own pace. I will need a kind resident dog to take me under their wing. I have never met cats. I would like a secure garden to spend time in. I am too scared to go out for walks right now and will need gentle introduction. I have been spayed and am ready for my forever home. Tenby has spent the last several months taking small, brave steps forward. She started to lay close to her kennel mum in the yard, sometimes even closing her eyes, a huge sign of trust for a dog who once flinched at every movement. She even started taking treats from the hand and following her kennel mum around, hoping for something yummy. Food has become a bridge between fear and trust, and watching her learn from her kennel friends has been a joy. Recently, Tenby faced another big challenge: her first full groom with clippers. The wet weather had matted her fur, and though she was nervous and uncomfortable, she allowed her carer to groom her back and legs. For her tummy and face, the stress was too much, so she had a light sedation at the vets to complete the groom safely. Since then, she has been wearing a jumper daily to keep warm, another new experience she is learning to accept. Tenby is looking for a calm, quiet, adult-only home with adopters who truly understand the needs of scared ex-breeding dogs. She will need at least one kind, confident resident dog to offer reassurance and companionship. She loves to share her bed with other dogs, so it's vital they would be happy to cuddle up with her. A secure garden is essential as she is not yet ready for lead walks, and her adopters will need patience while she continues to settle in to home life.
