Effie is a gorgeous young adult who has come to us in search of his forever home after arriving with her potential sister, Rue, via the Dog Warden as a stray. Effie has settled in very well here in the short time that she has been in the kennel environment.
Dog Friendly: We are still continuing Effie’s dog socialisation here with other dogs in the Welfare but what we have seen so far has been very positive and she loves to have a good play but we believe she would thrive better as the only dog in the home.
Cat Friendly: We are currently unsure on how Rue would be with a cat as she has shown us she has prey drive with birds.
Has been around Children: We have not been able to assess this at the centre but we believe she could live with children of 12+ years pending suitable meet and greets at the centre.
How long can the dog be left without issue: We are unsure at the moment and will be assessing this at the centre as she does have little anxiety when she is away from Rue.
How do they walk on lead: Effie does have positive aspects on lead and can walk nicely but needs a little further guidance as she can find the world a little bit scary but has improved massively so far.
Any reactive behaviour seen: She is a very sociable and bubbly girl but does have a high prey drive with birds so we are doing some desensitisation training with this. She has spent lots of time out on lovely walks with some of our volunteers.
What are they fed: Mixture of wet and dry food twice a day plus a lunchtime enrichment snack to help with brain stimulation.
