About This Dog

Twinkle's ideal home

Twinkle is seeking a calm, adult-only home with patient adopters who understand that building trust can take time. She currently finds unfamiliar people and handling very worrying. Because of this, her new owners will need to be committed to continuing the positive confidence-building work she started in our care and allow her to progress at a pace she is comfortable with. Twinkle would benefit from a quieter home environment in which she can build her confidence. Twinkle is not looking for a home that expects an instantly affectionate dog; instead, she is looking for adopters who will celebrate the small steps, respect her boundaries and enjoy watching her confidence gradually grow over time. Ideally, she should live with another dog who is well-matched, pending meets at the centre.

Could you be Twinkle's perfect match?

Twinkle is a sensitive little dog who is looking for someone willing to take the time to understand her. Away from the hustle and bustle of daily kennel life, she enjoys the company of the dogs she knows and trusts, often snuggling up with her canine companions and quietly exploring her surroundings. When she feels safe, Twinkle shows a curious side, happily pottering around, investigating different scents and keeping a close eye on what is happening around her. She is a thoughtful dog who prefers to take her time assessing situations, and while she may not be the type to make instant friends, she has all the potential to form strong bonds with people who are prepared to work at her pace. For the right adopter, helping Twinkle discover that the world is not such a scary place is likely to be an incredibly rewarding journey.
