Meet Igloo, a truly beautiful soul who has come to us from a breeder to find the loving home she’s always deserved. When she first arrived, Igloo was a quiet and timid girl, understandably overwhelmed by the world around her. She’d clearly known very little kindness, but from the very start, there was a gentle spark of curiosity in her - a glimmer of hope that, with time and love, she could begin to trust. And what a transformation she’s made!

The shy girl who once kept her distance is now full of love and affection. Igloo adores people and she’ll smother you with cuddles the moment you walk into her kennel, and though she sometimes jumps up in excitement, she remains incredibly gentle and sweet natured.

She’s now so confident that she could be homed as an only dog in the right circumstances with adopters who had plenty of time to spend with her. She could also happily live with other kind and friendly dogs too. She would benefit from adopters who have experience of the breed and we would consider homing her with dog savvy teenagers. She has met cats here and been fine with them, so may be able to live with a dog savvy cat.

Igloo has also discovered the joys of play, particularly with her beloved tennis balls, and it's truly heartwarming to watch her finally experience fun and freedom. She has learned to walk on a lead here at the rescue and enjoys her outings, especially in quiet areas where she can explore at her own pace.

Igloo has never lived in a home before, so everything will be new to her, from house training to household noises and her adopters will need to be kind and understanding as she settles in.

When Igloo arrived, she had a nasty infection in her paw, which has since healed, though the affected paw (her front right paw) remains slightly larger than her others. It may always remain larger than average and does cause her a slight limp, but it doesn’t stop her from enjoying life. This will continue to be be monitored by our vet.

Igloo is a dog who gets overlooked all too easily on our group tours, but give her just a moment of your time, and you’ll fall in love with her gentle, affectionate spirit. She truly is a hidden gem, ready to shine in the right home.

Please don’t pass her by, Igloo has come so far, and she’s more than ready for the next step in her journey: a forever home filled with kindness, patience, and love.
