HELP ME FIND A HOME
Are you right for Sheba?
Sheba is looking for her special home and is ready to live her happiest life. She can live with children aged 14+ and over due to her rough play style. Must be the only dog in the home as she can be rough with her play style and can forget her size. Sheba walks nicely on the lead and would benefit from continued socialisation with other dogs. This lovely lady will need her new family to give her plenty of patience and guidance and of course, oodles of love to build her confidence in new surroundings. Sheba likes to play with toys and has now learned how to fetch, she can be picky with treats, and prefers a long-lasting snack over a bitesize treat.
Is Sheba right for you?
Sheba is a 8 year old crossbreed who came to us with not much previous history. She is now with foster carers as she was finding kennel live stressful, but the team and foster family are working with her being left alone and any separation from humans so, the new adopters will need to be around most of the time and leaving hours will need to be built up slowly. Sheba loves to walk and explore but will need ongoing patience and understanding with car travel as she is not a fan. Support and advice will also be given for her new owners on how to deal with these behaviours. Sheba will be a rewarding rehome to a dedicated family keen to continue encouraging her to shine and be the best dog she can be! Quote from Sheba's wonderful foster family - 'Sheba is a fantastic girl and has been an absolute dream in the home, adores all humans, loves cuddles, attention, and even grooming. Sheba is house trained, sleeps all night (as long as she can see her people) and is a joy to walk. Any family lucky enough to adopt Sheba will be amazed by the wonderful lady she is'.
