Uma is a very gentle little girl who has come to us from a breeder. When she first arrived, she was unsure of touch and relied heavily on her kennel friends for comfort, often shadowing them and seeking reassurance. She has been slowly coming out of her shell and now she has moved to a foster home where she can learn all about home life for the first time.

Despite her worries, Uma is a very sweet girl, and with patience, love, and understanding, she is beginning to show glimpses of her true personality. Uma has already made wonderful progress. She is comfortable sitting near her kennel mummy and is showing a growing interest in food, which is helping her to engage more with people. While she isn’t confident enough to take treats from the hand yet, she happily comes to collect them from the floor, and it’s clear she is trying hard to be brave and will continue to build confidence over time.

Uma does have a strong fear of being touched or picked up, and on occasion she may try to nip if she panics. This is purely out of fear and she needs gentle, careful handling as she learns to trust. With continued patience and consistency, we are confident she will slowly let her guard down and show her loving, affectionate side.

As Uma has never lived in a home before moving to her foster home, she will need adopters who are prepared to help her learn all the basics, from house training to walking on a lead, and who can provide a calm, quiet environment without children. She will also need a kind resident dog in the home who is happy for her to cuddle up close and follow around as she gains confidence. Uma was spayed at the rescue and had 10 teeth removed, so she would benefit from a soft food diet going forwards.

Uma is a little sweetheart who has already shown glimpses of bravery and trust. With the right home, patience, and gentle guidance, we know she will blossom into the loving, loyal companion she was always meant to be. She is ready to begin her journey to a forever home, and with support, she will continue to grow more confident every day.
