Ivy

About This Dog for Adoption

Ivy's ideal home

Little Ivy is around 5 years old and hasn't had the most positive experience with handling due to being in pain for quite some time before arriving with us. Fortunately, she is now on long term pain relief and the hope is that she can overcome the negative associations with being touched. Ivy has built fantastic bonds with her Canine Carers, and this is because they have been gentle with her, and have listened to her body language when she feels uncomfortable. As long as her adopter does this too, she should form the same loving bond. Ivy will need a quiet, patient home where she gets short walks or even a garden to potter about in as she pleases! She is much more of a couch potato than an athlete! Ivy will need to be the only dog in her forever home, but she can have dog walking buddies that match her energy levels. There is potential that she could live with other pets in the home, such as cats, as long as they give her space. Ivy is looking for an adult only home with no visiting children as she finds the noise and activity stressful.

Could you be Ivy's perfect match?

Ivy can be very misunderstood, but her Canine Carers say that she is an incredibly sweet and funny little lady once she feels she can trust you. Her adopter will need to be introduced to Ivy and her boundaries slowly, so multiple meets at the Rehoming Centre will be expected. Taking the time to get to know Ivy will be 100% worth it as the result will be the most rewarding, loyal companion. If you think you could give Ivy her second chance at a forever home, then please submit an adoption application and include her as a 'Favourite' dog. Thank you!
