  • Human family requirements

    I need a quiet home where I won’t be overwhelmed while I settle in at my own pace.

  • Other pet requirements

    I need a resident dog to help me feel safe. I've never met cats before.

  • House and garden requirements

    I’m still shy, so I will need a secure garden while I get used to my new home.

  • Out and about requirements

    I’ve never been on walks before and will need a gentle introduction.

  • Training needs

    I am in a foster home now so am learning all about home life and house training.

  • Medical issues

    I am spayed and ready to find my forever home.

Thorny is a sweet, sensitive little Cockapoo who has come from a breeder to find her forever home. Life in kennels was very overwhelming for her, and she found it difficult to cope. Since moving into foster care, she has started to decompress and is beginning to show glimpses of the dog she will blossom into.

A gentle and inoffensive soul, Thorny finds great comfort in the company of other dogs. She cuddles up with her canine companions and sleeps happily in a crate beside them, even when left for a few hours. Because she relies so much on their presence, she will need a home with at least one other kind and confident resident dog to help her feel secure and take her under their wing.

Thorny is worried about being handled and will need time, patience, and gentle reassurance as she learns that human hands can be kind. Having never lived in a home before moving to foster, she is still learning about house training and home life, but is taking this all in her stride and we are so proud of the progress she has made. She is a big foody and loves her snacks, so this will help with her training and bonding with her.

Thorny doesn't yet walk on a lead and will need to practice in a safe and secure garden before venturing out into the big wide world once she has gained more confidence.

Thorny is a truly special little girl who just needs the right home, full of love, calm, and kindness, to help her flourish. With time and understanding, she is sure to blossom into a devoted and happy companion.

She has been treated for a ear infection while in our care, but this is looking much better now.
