Cherry

About This Dog for Adoption

Cherry's ideal home

Cherry is a beautiful 4-month-old Staffy Cross puppy who had a very difficult start to life. She has been left very worried by the world and can be very shy around people and places she doesn't know. She will need her new family to be around all the time for quite a while to gradually settle her in and build her confidence slowly. Ongoing training is a must, but she has already learned some of the basics and is almost housetrained too! She must be the only pet in her home for now as she will need to continue her socialisation training which we can help and advise with along the way. A secure garden will be needed so she has somewhere she be off-lead to play. Due to Cherry's need for a calm and predictable routine, children will not suit her so her home will need to be adult only.

Could you be Cherry's perfect match?

Cherry was born at the rehoming centre but was sadly the 'runt' of the litter. She struggled to keep up with her bigger siblings but we managed to help keep her going and she's now showing huge potential. She is a bit of a worrier and finds new people and places very scary, but with slow and gentle introductions she is making good progress. Once she feels safe, she is actually a fun, playful and quite clever girl! She can get quite affectionate when the mood takes her too. She is learning how to be around other dogs and this will be helped by her attending our Dog School Puppy Training classes, which we'll discuss with her new family. If you are looking for a playful young lass to join your home and you are around most of the time (maybe working from home) and are prepared to put in some good training work initially, then you might be a good match for Cherry.
