Meet our nervous little Nutmeg who is slowly becoming less of a nutmeg and more of a nutty Nutmeg... with people she knows. Nutmeg has arrived with a from another rescue where she came into us with no history so sadly we have no idea what has made her such a shy and retiring girl meeting new people but hopefully her new family will make that change for the better.
Once Nutmeg knows you she absolutely adores you and her cheeky, bit of looney side comes out - her zoomies in the playpen are quite spectacular and she gets super excited to see you however if she doesn't recognise you or hasn't met you before she can literally be a quivering wreck but we have to say even in her most fearful moments she has had the most genuine nature and wouldn't hurt a fly. As such she will need a quieter home but one active enough to keep up with her as she does have a fair amount of energy, loves to run about and no doubt she will be up for lots of adventures!
On the lead she does walk well although at times can be guided by her nose at the detriment of her loose lead, but once in check she will stroll by your side without a fuss.
We have found she gets along great with other dogs, provided they aren't too over top for her but she has shared her walks and said hello to a range of different dogs since being here and was a very very good girl with them all. She could live with another dog provided they are suitable match in energy and not to overpowering for her, it may also help her confidence to be with a assured brother or sister.
Overall Nutmeg is a beautiful girl with a beautiful personality, full of love ready for her new family to show her how good life can be!! 😀
Meet our utterly gorgeous girl Eva who has come into us from the stray pound where she was literally booked to be put to sleep because there was no space/rescue offers for her, thankfully we were able to make a kennel available and save her life, promising to give her a new start, never to be in that situation ever, ever again!
Since coming to us Eva has been nothing but a super affectionate, friendly, if not a little excitable, loving girl who relishes in all the fuss she can get! She does jump up, mainly for fuss resting her paws on your waist but she might not suit younger children as she would likely bowl them over accidentally.
On the lead she was very strong however we have introduced her to a Gencon headcollar which took some adjustment but she is now walking beautifully!
Eva loves her walks and is an active girl so will certainly need an equally active home for plenty of adventures, she does like to cram in as many sniffs as she can but she is also very attentive with her handler so listens to your commands.
We do think she has had some input as she can sit, she half knows 'down' & 'sit' but we know she is a clever girl and would absolutely soak up new training like a sponge, she just wants to please and loves her food - which she takes very gently too!
In the playpen she does like a run around, lots of sniffing and will also chase a ball but her retrieval skills will need to be worked on or her new human will get their steps in retrieving the ball themselves 😀
Eva seems to like other dogs, she does get excited though and can be quite over the top lacking in some manners but she hasn't shown any aggression whatsoever, we do however think she would be best off as an only dog till she's learned to be calmer around dogs.
Overall Eva is a beautiful pup on the inside as she is the outside and will make someone a very happy owner!!
Meet our lovely girl Sheeba who has come into us as a stray without an ounce of history or knowledge of what she has been up to so far in life 🙁
On the lead she was a bit of a monkey however we have now got her used to a Gencon headcollar which has helped tremendously and walks are now enjoyable whilst she strolls along at your side without pulling your arm off.
In the playpen her favourite thing is sniffs and zoomies... preferably both together but failing that, sniff, zoom round and on to the next sniff then repeat! Once sniffs and walks are out of the way though she is the most fussy and affectionate loving girl you could wish for.. so a home with plenty of exercise and cuddle time is a must!
Although Sheeba can sit beautifully and take treats very gently, if you ask her for any other command she will look at you blankly so we think that she would be a good candidate for dog training to get her up to scratch, she is a bright girl and loves to please!
We are likely looking for a a dog free home for her as she can be vocal when she see's other dogs and although she can put on a dramatic Oscar winning performance with correct introductions she is absolutely fine with other dogs but is very intense & over the top so she would be best off continuing the work we have started here to get her reaction to other dogs controlled, learn some etiquette then possibly make some canine friends for playtime.
If your looking for a lovely girl and have some time to put into some training, Sheeba could definitely be the one for you!
