08-12-25 Saffron is a very scared little girl who originally came to us from a breeder to find her forever home. She was briefly adopted, but sadly she found the transition overwhelming and struggled to settle, so she has now come back into our care. In the home she became very worried and began to show some destructive behaviours and would chew things she shouldn’t. As she is still really just a puppy, some of this may be linked to normal puppy behaviour. She will need adopters who are committed to working on this with her and who can keep her in a safe, secure space whenever she isn’t being closely supervised, to stop her from getting herself into mischief. We’re told that Saffron loves toys, especially ones she can play with independently. Heavy-duty toys, enrichment activities that use her brain, and long-lasting chews may help keep her busy and reduce her worries and destructive behaviours.

Saffron will need a calm and quiet, adult only home where she can settle in and build confidence at her own pace. She absolutely adores other dogs and relies heavily on them for comfort, so she must have at least one other kind and confident resident dog who can take her under their wing and help her understand that the world isn’t such a scary place.

Before adoption, Saffron had never lived in a home, so home life is still very new to her. Her adopters will need to be patient and understanding as she learns all about home life and house training. She doesn’t yet walk on a lead or harness and will need gentle practice in a secure garden until she feels ready to explore further.

With patience, kindness, and the steady reassurance of a gentle resident dog, Saffron will begin to discover that life can be safe and full of joy. She just needs a special home with adopters who will help her find her paws at her own pace.
