Whimsey

Whimsey came to us from a breeder as a very worried little girl who found the world quite overwhelming. When she first arrived, she was unsettled and skittish, needing plenty of time and reassurance to help her feel safe. Since then, she has made wonderful progress and has really started to show what a special girl she is.

Whimsey has formed a lovely bond with her carers and now greets those she knows and trusts with enthusiastic cuddles and kisses. It has been a joy to watch her confidence grow, and she is becoming more comfortable with the people around her every day.

While Whimsey has come on tremendously, she can still be nervous and unsure around new people. She will need a calm, patient, and understanding home that is willing to give her the time and space she needs to build trust and settle at her own pace. Once she feels safe, her affectionate and loving personality truly shines through. She can live with older dog savvy teens aged, 16+ that will allow her time to settle.

Whimsey does walk nicely on a lead, but as she can still be sensitive to new experiences, her adopters will need to continue introducing her to the world gently and at a pace she is comfortable with, helping her build confidence without feeling overwhelmed.

Although Whimsey enjoys socialising with other dogs and loves spending time with her canine friends in the exercise yards, we feel she would be happiest as the only dog in her home. This will allow her to fully enjoy the attention and reassurance of her family while continuing to develop her confidence. She would still enjoy opportunities to meet and spend time with other dogs out and about. She will also need a home without cats.

Whimsey has such a sweet heart and has already shown how much progress she can make when given kindness, patience, and understanding. With the right home behind her, we believe she will make a truly wonderful companion and a much-loved member of the family.

Whimsey arrived with an abscess on the right side of her jaw, which has been treated by our veterinary team. Our vets have also noted that she has a fractured canine tooth with no root or nerve exposure. At this stage, no treatment is required, but it should be monitored by her adopters and their vet. She has also received treatment for a urinary tract infection, which has been managed under veterinary guidance.
