Mavis – 13 year old female Pomeranian cross Schipperke
Mavis is a very small 13 year old black Pomeranian cross Schipperke who came into Oldies Club care with Alfie the Yorkshire Terrier. After careful assessment by their foster carer we have decided that Mavis and Alfie can be rehomed separately. Mavis is in an Oldies Club foster home in Norfolk, waiting for someone to offer her a permanent home. Introducing Mavis: Mavis has a kind, loving nature and is extremely affectionate towards people.
Settled well at the foster home: Mavis was a little confused for the first week at her foster home but she is now fine. She likes to potter around the house and garden, following you everywhere. She loves a morning and afternoon sleep in the sun or on the back of a chair and she will ask you to lift her on! At night she likes to sleep in a warm bed. She is happy to be brushed and bathed.
Can be left but not suitable for full-time workers: Mavis doesn’t mind being left at home alone for a reasonable period and will happily curl up in her bed and sleep until you return. However she wouldn’t be happy to live with full-time workers as she would be stressed if left for too long.
Likes small dogs: Mavis interacts well with the small dogs at her foster home but she can be worried by large dogs and she will growl at them.
Will chase unknown cats: We were told that Mavis and Alfie have lived with cats in the past, but when they saw a cat at their foster home they chased it out of the garden.
Could live with children 10+: Mavis would probably be fine living with older children (10+) but she finds very young children too much and hides away.
Enjoys short walks in fine weather: Mavis enjoys little walks in the woods and along the beach. Her recall is good. She will ask to be picked up when she has had enough of her walk – about 10 minutes is long enough for her, in fact she is happy to just potter in the garden. She doesn’t like to go out in the rain!
Good in the car: Mavis is good in the car and will settle down.
Likes: Mavis loves to have lots and lots of attention and enjoys sitting on your lap.
Dislikes: Rain!
Health notes: Mavis is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and flea-treated. At her vet-check, she was found to have wobbly back legs and muscle wastage due to an old injury; she will occasionally need Metacam. She has a slight heart murmur but medication is not required for the moment.
Foster carer’s summary: “If you could find a place in your heart for this very easy-going little girl and you feel you could offer her a forever home, you would just make her dream come true.”
