04-10-26 Polly is a frightened girl who has come into our care from a breeder. She will not yet approach us and will initially run away from us, but once she is safely settled in our arms, she is okay to handle. Polly will also spin around her kennel when people are nearby, showing us just how worried she is feeling at the moment.

Polly will be looking for a calm and quiet home with adopters who have experience with scared ex-breeding dogs and who will allow her to settle in at her own pace. We would consider homing her with gentle, dog savvy teenagers aged 16+. She relies on other dogs for comfort and reassurance and so will need at least one other kind and confident resident dog in her new home to take her under their wing.

She has never lived in a home before so her adopters will need to be kind and understanding while she settles in and learns all about home life and new skills like house training. She doesn't yet walk on a lead or harness and will need to practice first around the home and garden until she is feeling brave enough to venture further.

Polly has arrived underweight, so she will need a nutritious diet to help her reach and maintain a healthy weight. This will need to be continued in her new home. She also has a sore lip fold, which will be treated.

Polly is a very worried little girl, but underneath all those nerves is a girl who is slowly learning to accept our help. We hope that with the support of a lovely canine companion and a kind, patient family, she will begin to feel safe, gain confidence and enjoy the happy new start she deserves.

She has a travel document.
