  • Human family requirements

    I need a calm and quiet home where I can settle in at my own pace.

    I need a resident dog to help me settle in and I have never met cats.

    I will need a secure garden while I get used to my new home.

  • Out and about requirements

    I am nervous on the lead and would rather sniffs around the garden for now.

  • Training needs

    I have lived in a home before so know the basics.

  • Medical issues

    I have Grade 1 luxating patellas, which may improve with gentle exercise.

12-06-26 Winnie is a lovely older lady who originally came to us from a breeder and was fortunate enough to spend an extended period of time in a home. Sadly, she has returned to our care due to a relationship breakdown and the loss of her canine companion, leaving her world turned upside down once again.

Winnie can be a little touch-sensitive and unsure at times, but beneath her shyness is a sweet and gentle soul. She prefers slow introductions and needs people who will give her the time and space to settle in and build trust at her own pace. We would consider homing her with teenagers 16+ who were dog savvy and would take things at her pace.

She will need a calm and quiet home with at least one other kind and confident resident dog that she can look to for reassurance and companionship. We are told that she isn't always keen on smaller dogs and may prefer a doggy companion who is a little larger than her. Having another dog around will help her feel more secure as she adjusts to her new surroundings.

As Winnie has lived in a home before, she is likely to already know many of the basics, although she may need a few gentle reminders as she settles into a new routine. She is a nervous walker on the lead and, given her age, may be much happier enjoying relaxed sniffing sessions and pottering around a secure garden rather than embarking on long adventures.

Winnie is looking for a calm, understanding home where she can enjoy the comfort, security, and companionship she deserves. After everything she has been through, this sweet girl deserves nothing more than to spend her golden years curled up on a cosy sofa, surrounded by love and kindness.

With patience, reassurance, and plenty of TLC, Winnie will make a wonderful companion for a family willing to offer her the peaceful retirement she so richly deserves.

She has arrived with a Grade 1 luxating patella that may improve with gentle exercise, this will need to be monitored in her new home. She has also arrived with Peridontal disease and has had 4 teeth extracted with us.
