Shanti

Meet Shanti! A Wonky Leg and a Whole Heart 💖🤗 Shanti, a one-year-old Shepherd-Type Cross, recently arrived in our care from a rescue in Turkey. She is the sister of our beloved Graff and, just like her brother, she has a gentle soul and loves nothing more than a few treats and a lot of fuss and attention. If you look closely at her photos, you will see that she has a pronounced bend in one of her front legs. An X-ray in Turkey showed that one leg is longer than the other, most likely something she was simply born with. We have referred the X-rays to our own vet to make sure nothing’s been missed and nothing more needs to be done. What we do know is that Shanti gets around just fine – she’ll just need a gentler pace of life, with shorter strolls rather than marathon walks. Shanti is still a little timid, but she is gaining in confidence every day. She absolutely loves people and, once she gets to know you, she is the most gentle, cuddly girl. As she is so friendly, we are happy that Shanti can share her home with older children, who will be confident in dealing with a dog of her size. Shanti can certainly share her home with another dog, subject to careful introductions at our kennels in Buntingford. Shanti has never lived in a house before, so everything about home life will be unfamiliar. She’ll need patience while she learns – housetraining, routines and just the everyday home life that most dogs take for granted will all be new. But we are sure that it won’t take her long to settle into her forever home and become the most loyal companion. Shanti has spent her whole life waiting for someone to choose her. If that someone could be you, then please get in touch.
