Nicole – 18 month old female Boxer Cross

Hello, I’m Nicole the Boxer Cross and I’m 18 month old female. I arrived at The Mayhew after I was found abandoned on the streets of London. I was so sick with a virus when I first arrived that all I wanted to do was lie down with my head in my kennel carer’s lap. Now that I am fully recovered, I have turned out to be a real fun-loving and playful girl. Okay, I know I am not for the faint-hearted as I am full of beans and have not had much training but my eagerness to please plus a big interest in food means I learn quickly. Now I can even walk to heel with the right handling, although sometimes I get distracted and can forget all my good intentions but I am always willing to try again! As for my doggy kisses – they are legendary around the Home! I am looking for an experienced and understanding forever home with patient people who will give me time to show how loving and loyal I can be. My carers at The Mayhew don’t know what happened to me in my past but they can tell I’ve not had the best start in life. I can be shy around strangers and once I bond with someone I can become protective of them. I will need to go to training classes to help with my socialisation and learning manners. Although I love to snuggle into you for cuddles I am no couch potato, so my active new guardians will have to be cool with my natural high spirits but once I settle in and get a minimum of one to two hours exercise daily, initially on a 50 foot long line, I will be a much calmer and attentive dog.

I am okay with other dogs but I do need further socialisation with them, I would probably be better as the only dog in the household. I wouldn’t be happy living with cats and any children in my new home with need to be at least sixteen years of age and upwards. So, if you are an experienced owner who has owned a high energy dog before, have a good sense of humour and love a challenge, then please give me a chance. I can promise life will never be dull and the love you give me I will return ten-fold.u!
