19-02-26 Rooklyn is a nervous Shih Tzu Cross who has come into our care from a breeder in search of a new start. She is very frightened at the moment and finds the presence of people in her space overwhelming. She is unsure of our intentions and will need a very quiet, calm, and patient home where she can begin to feel safe.

Right now, Rooklyn is feeling far more secure in the company of her kennel friends. We believe she will need to be rehomed with a gentle and confident resident dog who can offer reassurance and help her understand that the world is not such a scary place.

As Rooklyn has never lived in a home before, she will need kind adopters who can support her with house training, lead training, and all the everyday basics of home life. Everything will be new to her, so a steady routine and a peaceful environment will be essential in helping her gain confidence.

We are looking for a quiet, adult-only home for Rooklyn so that she can relax and settle into her new surroundings without too much noise or activity. She will need people who are happy to let her progress at her own pace and who understand that trust may take time to build.

Rooklyn is currently awaiting a vet health check to ensure she is feeling her best and ready to begin her journey to her forever home.

With patience, understanding, and a kind canine companion by her side, Rooklyn has the potential to form a deep and meaningful bond with her new family and slowly show the gentle little soul we know is there.
