Penny : URGENT foster required

INTRODUCING PRETTY PENNY

Please do read all the following information fully ,if you do not meet Penny’s criteria ,do not apply to foster ,thank you

Penny is located in Wakefield Post Code area WF10

NOTE the potential applicant will be requested to travel to carry out as many meet and greets as requested.

DO NOT APPLY IF YOU CANNOT MEET THESE REQUESTS

Penny is looking for a foster home due to a busy environment with small children

Penny wants the children’s toys and food ,this has resulted in Penny nipping the child’s hand whilst trying gain access a toy ,the child was holding

We are told no blood was drawn ,just a quick nip to gain access to the toy

Because of this her owners are worried this could escalate further,as Penny is very much trying to get to toys and food

Pennys owners are finding it tough to keep an eye on their child and Penny ,both are so quick and things can happen we quickly if you are not expecting it

Penny does like both the children ,but with her resource guarding she is unpredictable

Doesn’t always show this behaviour ,and can sometimes be very settled even around food ,but would not trust her around owners toddler with food in her hand

Behaviour more info - resource guarding, especially around food.

Stealing resources from the sides/ counters/ floor. Cannot leave anything in reach when owners are in the room ,at certain times of the day when penny is over stimulated

This tends to be morning time before her walk (7-8/9) and evening tea time (4.30-6)

Penny had a bad experience with a male vet ,so now visiting the vets she needs to be muzzled

Her owners have requested to see female vets in the future

Penny is not an aggressive dog just very misunderstood,and needs reassurance and guidance

Situations have made her behaviour form in the way she only knows how at the moment

In a new environment with care and love we believe Penny will bloom in time

Doodle Aids Requests For Fostering

Person or persons willing to put time in working to manage Penny’s resource guarding ,helping her with her fear with visiting the vets she

( this can be discussed further ,also Doodle Aid will supply a qualified Behaviourist support)

Penny prefers women to men ,accepts her human Dad ,but might take awhile to gain trust if one of the fosters is a male

Also takes time warming to strangers ,this is something that she needs some reassurance with once settled

With any rescue dog time ,trust and patience is the key

We will consider placing Penny with Children over 12 ,whom are dog savvy and respectful around her at all times

No visiting babies or toddlers

Happy to place her in an adult only home too

NO FULL TIME WORKERS

NO CATS

NO OTHER DOGS

ABSOLUTELY NO SHOWBOATING PENNY THE FIRST WEEK

( this means allow Penny time to settle with you only, in your own home,this is very important)

Garden must be safe and secure ,this includes locks on any gates

If you have any day trips or holidays planned lease state on your application form

NOTE - whilst any rescue dog is settling in a new environment with new people behaviours can often change,we as a rescue cannot predict a dogs behaviour fully

Any changes do keep us and the behaviourist updated at all times

Once a dog is foster we have not got the capability to move them quickly if requested ,we do not own kennels so please bare this in mind

We will act as professionally as we can in any situations which arise

Grooming

Doodle Aid will contact a professional groomer if Penny needs a full groom,whilst in foster care

Penny has a curly coat,only sheds minimally as all dogs shed some amount

She enjoys being brushed at home ,but only when she is relaxed

Our advice would be take this slowly ,with sone treats ready available

Owner states - Bathed at home outside with bucket if got very muddy

Professionally groomed every 6 weeks

Exercise

Minimum 40mins - 1hr walk a day. Usually twice (morning and afternoon) often on lead but occasionally off

Penny does go off her lead ,in safe places that are not overly busy

Any Foster dog we state do not allow off lead,unless you hire a safe and secure paddock to gain trust in recall

Penny is walked on a harness ,as this her owners state helps with her not pulling

Interaction with other dogs whilst out - Sometimes barks and lunges when passing, other times no reaction at all

Further information

Penny as stated is anxious at the vets,scared of strangers and some men,resource guards food,toys and things tempting in her reach..

Penny is very lively and bouncy and jumpy

Will bark lots ,get excited when visitors come into owners home

General obedience- Not amazing more training required

Will listen when she wants ,more training required

Can do general commands and responds to ‘settle’ well

Training Courses - done in the past - puppy training

Had the puppy trainer visit home

Owner did a 6 month intensive course 1:1 home visits with dog trainer, and a 6 week weekly ‘teenage dog’ socialising training session

Behaviour around people - Good with those who live in the house

Giddy with visitors but very friendly over excited

Jump up and bark when first meeting them

Can be wary around men

Dislikes male vets

Children - Loves owners toddler and baby but this is the problem ,that they worried for safety due to resource guarding and needing attention

Penny is toilet trained,but as we always state accidents can occur whilst any dog is settling in a new environment

Penny sleeps in the kitchen ( fosters might like to spend a few nights settling Penny in another room and being with her for the nights ahead)

She is not crate trained ,this is something Penny has not experienced

Travels in the car ok sometimes she may play games getting in,but most times good

Penny is not a swimmer

Owners note - Please help us as we really do not want to fail Penny

She is a beautiful dog ,but family life has changed the environment at home making it not suitable for her ,and we worry it will push her to bite and inevitably have to be put down when this can be avoided ,by change of owners and environment.
