Carry is a sweet and gentle girl who came to us from a breeder looking for a fresh start. When she first arrived, she was very scared and unsure of people, but she has already made wonderful progress and is continuing to grow in confidence since moving into foster care.

Carry has settled well into life in a home and is taking all the sights and sounds of everyday living in her stride. She sleeps soundly with the other dogs in the lounge each night and has settled into a good routine, although she is quite happy to let her foster carer know when she thinks it's time to start the day! She has a great appetite, happily accepts treats from your hand, and has been generally clean in the house.

Carry is still nervous of being touched and will often run away if someone tries to fuss her. However, she is becoming much braver and will now happily approach to sniff hands. If she is relaxing on a dog bed or in a smaller space where she feels safe, she is beginning to tolerate gentle fusses. She is trying so hard to be brave, and it has been lovely to watch her confidence slowly grow.

Carry relies heavily on other dogs for reassurance and will need at least one kind and confident resident dog in her forever home. They will help guide her through new experiences and continue to build her confidence as she settles into family life. She has also started taking her first steps with lead training and recently allowed her foster carer to attach a lead to her collar and enjoy a little walk around the garden, with plenty of encouragement and a generous supply of squeezy cheese!

She has also discovered the joy of playing with soft toys and can often be found happily throwing them around and giving them a good shred. Seeing her playful side emerge has been a wonderful milestone and shows just how much she is beginning to relax.

Carry will be looking for a calm and understanding home with resident dog companions and patient adopters who are happy to let her progress entirely at her own pace. We feel she could live with older, dog-savvy children who understand that she will need time and space to build trust. As she is in a foster home, she is beginning to learn about home life. But her adopters will need to continue helping her with house training, lead walking, and all the other adventures that family life brings.

Carry is an adorable little girl who is trying so hard to overcome her fears. She brightens the day of everyone who meets her, and with continued patience, kindness, and reassurance, we know she will continue to blossom into a happy and trusting companion.

Our vets have noted that Carry has a Grade 3 patella luxation in her right hind leg. This is not causing her any issues at present and may improve with gentle exercise, but it will need to be monitored by her adopters and their veterinary team. Should treatment be required in the future, this condition would not be covered by insurance.

Carry has a travel document.
