Tori

Meet Tori!  Tori is a lovely, friendly young girl who is full of life, personality and energy! At just 18 months old, Tori is still very much a youngster and has plenty to learn.  She is an affectionate, enthusiastic girl who loves getting out and about, but she will need a very special home that understands her needs and can keep up with her busy lifestyle.  Tori is an extremely energetic girl who can sometimes be quite a handful.  She loves spending time in our secure compound, where she can chase her favourite balls and burn off some of that endless energy.  She also thoroughly enjoys long walks, exploring her surroundings and taking in all the sights and smells along the way.  Kennel life can be difficult for Tori.  She can be whiny and vocal, and she has been known to jump over the kennel walls.  She also chews toys and bedding and does get very frustrated.  A German Shepherd needs more than just three walks a day.  They are an intelligent working breed who thrive when they have a purpose.  They need a job to do, both mentally and physically, and will benefit from activities that challenge their minds as well as exercise their bodies.  Whether that’s scent work, training, tracking, problem-solving games, enrichment activities or learning new skills, they need to be kept occupied and given an outlet for their natural instincts. Tori needs an adopter who understands a tired mind is just as important as a tired body.  She will need an experienced adopter who has worked with the breed before.  Tori needs a secure private garden and someone who is around most of the day.  Please only apply if you have the experience and commitment to give Tori what she needs. Tori has socialised with other dogs while in our care and can be very vocal and does get frustrated around them.  So we feel she would be best rehomed as the only dog where her committed owner will continue her socialisation around other dogs in a controlled environment with lots of positive reinforcement. No cats for Tori. As Tori came into the home as a stray, we have no previous history on her, so would prefer any children/visiting children in the home to be 16+ years. If you have a holiday booked in the next 3 months, please wait until you return to apply for a dog. Applications that are successful will be provided with further information on each dog to the best of the charity’s knowledge.
