About This Dog

Doris's ideal home

Meet Doris, a gorgeous 1 year and 4 month old Pom/Chi with a sweet and friendly personality. Doris can lack confidence when meeting new people or exploring unfamiliar places, so she will need a patient, understanding home that is happy to take things slowly and allow her to settle at her own pace. Once Doris gets to know you and feels comfortable, her affectionate side really shines through! She loves a fuss and will happily jump onto your lap for cuddles. Doris is a low-energy girl who can be left for short periods, although this will need to be built up gradually. She will need multiple meets with her potential new family to help build a bond and give her the confidence she needs before going home.

Could you be Doris's perfect match?

Doris can be worried and conflicted when meeting other dogs, so any introductions will need to be carefully managed. She could potentially share her home with another dog, but this would need to be a small, calm and gentle companion who won't overwhelm or frighten her. Doris cannot live with cats, small furries or children of secondary school age or younger. She is looking for a calm, loving and predictable home with people who understand that confidence takes time and are willing to let her blossom at her own pace. If you can offer Doris the patience, reassurance and gentle approach she needs, you could be the person to help this lovely little girl grow in confidence and enjoy all the cuddles she has to give.
