Rhea

I could live with dog-savvy teens who respect my space. I will need a kind resident dog to take me under their wing. I have never met cats. I would like a secure garden to spend time in. I’ve never been on walks before and will need a gentle introduction. Please be patient with me, I need to learn house training and lead walking. I have bilateral cataracts & I will be spayed before adoption! 08-11-26 Rhea has come to us from a breeder to find her forever home. She is a worried little girl who is a little overwhelmed to find herself here at the moment. She can be quite timid when she first meets you, but after a while she does start to come out of her shell and will accept a fuss with a little waggy tail. She is also starting to become quite nosey and inquisitive, which is lovely to see. Rhea will be looking for a loving home with adopters who have experience with ex-breeding dogs and will allow her to settle in at her own pace. She currently relies on her kennel friends for comfort and reassurance, so she will need at least one kind and confident resident dog in her new home who she can look to as she begins to find her feet. Rhea does show some signs of resource guarding around food and can grumble at other dogs, so she will need to be fed separately from any other dogs in her new home. This is specifically around sharing food with other dogs, rather than with people. Her adopters will need to be confident in managing this and helping her feel comfortable at mealtimes. Rhea has never lived in a home before, so her adopters will need to be patient and understanding as she learns about the routines of home life, including house training and walking on a lead. Having a confident canine companion to show her the ropes will be a big help as she builds her confidence and starts to discover the world outside the rescue. Rhea could share her home with dog-savvy teenagers aged 16 and over, who can appreciate and understand that she will need a gentle, quiet introduction to the home and her own space to settle in. Rhea is a sweet, timid girl who will need a little extra time, kindness and reassurance to help her find her paws. With the right home and a lovely doggy friend by her side, we hope she will gradually grow in confidence and learn to enjoy all the comforts of home life. Rhea has arrived with bilateral cataracts, which does not seem to be bothering her at this time but will need to be monitored in her future home. She has a travel document.
