Rooktail has come to us from a breeder in search of a fresh start. When she first arrived, she was very nervous and unsure in new surroundings, often preferring the comfort and safety of her kennel friends and keeping her distance from people. Since then, Rooktail has already begun to make some lovely progress and is starting to build her confidence and trust. She has begun taking food from the hand and is learning that people can be kind and reassuring.

She has recently moved to a foster home, where she is settling in very well and enjoying learning all about living in a home for the first time in her life. Although she has multiple beds to choose from, at the moment she prefers sleeping on the floor, but despite this she seems to be a very happy girl. She is doing well with her house training and is around 90% house trained at the moment. She loves to spend time in the garden and will do zoomies and roll around on her back, which is adorable.

Rooktail is learning how wonderful life as a much loved family member can be. She can be picked up and handled and seems to really enjoy a cuddle with her fosterer. She continues to take great comfort from other dogs and will need to be homed with a calm, confident resident dog who can help guide her and provide reassurance as she settles into her new home.

She doesn't yet walk on a lead or harness and will need to practice this first around the home and garden until she gains confidence to venture further.

Rooktail has a luxating patella, which isn’t causing her any discomfort at present and may improve with gentle exercise, but her adopters will need to monitor this ongoing. This is a pre-existing condition and won’t be covered by insurance. She has also had three teeth removed at the time of her spay and has been treated for a ear infection.

Rooktail is a gentle, sweet girl with so much potential. She is already showing that, with patience, kindness, and reassurance, she can begin to trust and enjoy the world around her. In the right home, she will continue to blossom into a loyal and affectionate companion.
