About This Dog for Adoption

Ange's ideal home

If you are the kind of person who talks to dogs like they are family, who leads with kindness, and has room on the sofa for a sensitive snuggle-bug, then Ange could be your perfect match. This sweet 3-year-old Staffy is full of love but needs a calm, understanding home to help her feel safe and secure.

Ange is gentle, affectionate, and would happily curl up in your lap for a cuddle if you let her. She has been friendly towards visitors and will usually come over for fuss in her own time. However, loud noises, sudden movements or overhandling can overwhelm her.. She needs someone who will go at her pace and offer gentle reassurance.

Ange is used to children and could live with dog-savvy kids aged 11 and up. Ange must be the only dog in the home although she can have friends out and about. She has lived with cats and could share her home with a friendly feline if they are gentle and respectful of her space. A private garden is a must, so she has somewhere peaceful to explore and potter about. A very quiet communal garden may be considered if it is directly attached and very low traffic.

Could you be Ange's perfect match?

Ange’s ideal home is a calm, loving environment where she is given plenty of time to settle and explore at her own speed. She is housetrained, travels well in the car, and knows a few basics like sit and paw. She is not that into toys or treats when she is feeling unsure, but when she is relaxed, she will have a gentle play with her favourite rubber toys or gently accept a tasty snack—meaty treats are her favourite!

Out and about, walks can sometimes feel scary for her—especially if something unexpected happens. She is slowly learning that the world is not so frightening, but she will need to stay on lead in public while her confidence grows. She is curious and likes a good sniff about, often checking in with you to make sure everything is okay. She dislikes thunderstorms or fireworks, so she will need extra comfort during noisy weather.

Once settled in her new home, Ange can be left for short periods—she is used to being left for around an hour. She is currently on medication for her skin which we can give give any potential adopters more information about.

If you are after a gentle companion who just wants to feel safe and loved, Ange will be forever grateful for a quiet spot on your sofa—and your heart.
