Nuzzle

I would like a calm and quiet, adult only home where I can settle in at my own pace. I need just one dog my size or larger and I am okay with cats. I would like a secure garden to spend time in. I haven't tried walks just yet and will find this a bit overwhelming at the moment. I have a Grade 1-2 heart murmur and have had 2 teeth extracted. Nuzzle is a truly gentle, special little girl who has already come so far on her journey. She originally came to us from a breeder and, after a short adoption, sadly found her way back to the rescue as it was not the right fit for her. While in the home, she did make progress, but she was fearful of the man in the household and reacted out of fear on two occasions, showing that she needs very understanding, experienced adopters. When Nuzzle first arrived with us, she was an extremely nervous and flighty soul, spending most of her time hiding at the back of her kennel, too scared to join in or even accept touch. The world felt overwhelming, being in the yard, meeting people, or simply being handled was terrifying for her, and she lived in a constant state of panic and flight. Since returning to the rescue, the transformation in Nuzzle has been truly heart‑warming. With patience, kindness, routine, and consistency, she has slowly begun to blossom. She now approaches her carers for gentle fusses and, when she feels safe, will even ask for more. She enjoys being groomed, moves confidently to and from the yard as part of her daily routine, and is learning to walk on a harness, making steady, positive progress every day.
