Poppy is a 4 year old female Bichon Frise. Poppy has been used for breeding and knows nothing of life in a home, she was very frightened of her new life initially. Whilst a few weeks on she is still extremely nervous, she makes real progress every day and is an utter delight to have around. She is a gentle little sole, very smart and not at all shut down.
She loves the company of other dogs and therefore must be homed with at least one other gentle dog. She has pretty much got the hang of house training and prefers to do what nature intended outdoors. She eats and sleep well and is increasingly able to accept affection and reassurance. Just yesterday she began to make up for the puppyhood she has never had by chewing on a dog toy.
This is of course a great sign. She shows no signs of being a barker. Her ideal home will be somewhere quiet where she can continue to progress in a relaxed environment in the company of other dogs. She needs an owner/owners who are around most of the time and can work with her to rebuild a proper dogs life. She could be homed with older teenagers who understand her fears, but no small children as they would be too much for her.
You will need to be patient and either have direct experience of rehoming this type of dog or be aware of the fact that progress will take a while to make her adjustments fully. Poppy does not suffer from separation anxiety and so can be left for short periods. She is a lovely sweet girl who is emerging into her own character.
Poppy is being fostered near Hastings in East Sussex and has been neutered, vaccinated, flea and from treated and microchipped.
