Dolly

Dolly is an anxious girl who came to the rescue as a stray. She was rehomed but was sadly returned to us due to her owner struggling to manage her nervous behaviour when out on walks. When Dolly originally came into us she was absolutely terrified on arrival and took some persuading to become friends. She is very food motivated so we have been working on her issues with strangers by everyone she meets giving her lots of treats. This will continue to be a work in progress when she goes to a new home. She does lack confidence when out walking and is easily spooked by a variety of different things, and she can take some persuasion to get her walking. Off lead in our paddock, she is super playful and loves burning off some steam! Dolly does get very anxious of other dogs, and although we have started to work on this with her, we would be looking for a home as the only pet in a home and this work will need to be continued. All advice and help will be given by our behaviour team here at NCAR. Due to her nervous nature, Dolly is looking for a home without children living in the home or visiting. She needs a home with owners who are calm and confident and can build Dolly’s self esteem. Underneath her fear – she is a sweet girl who deserves a second chance!
