About Esme

Poor Esme has not had the best of starts to life but she is such a sweetheart and is so ready to find her forever home **Meet Esme — ready for her forever home 🐾** Esme is an approximately 4-year-old, whippet-sized whippet cross who has been through an incredibly difficult time. She arrived with us heavily pregnant and, after an emergency life-saving C-section, sadly lost her puppies. Since then, she’s been recovering both physically and emotionally—and this sweet girl has come such a long way. Now, Esme is ready to find the loving home she deserves. She may be shy at first, but soon warms up and loves being close to her people. Her favourite things? Sofa cuddles, relaxing in her crate, and the occasional sighthound zoomie before settling down for a snooze. She walks beautifully on lead and has been great with our dogs. **Esme’s home needs:** - Children aged 8+ - No cats - A secure garden with fully enclosed fencing at least 6ft high - She may be able to live with a similar-sized dog, but food must be fed separately or carefully supervised, as Esme can guard food around other dogs If you’re kind, patient and can offer Esme the safe, loving home she deserves, please apply via the link below. Please be prepared to travel to meet Esme twice before adoption. A home check is also required.
