Suzie - 2-4 year old female Cross-Breed

Suzie is a female cross-breed aged between 2-4 years old, she was an RSPCA rescue case coming from a home where she was abused, consequently this has made her a very nervous and insecure dog but one with a lot of love to give. Suzie was an RSPCA rescue case coming from a home where she was abused, consequently this has made her a very nervous and insecure dog but one with a lot of love to give.

Suzie has been in kennels for 6 months and was re-homed for 4 days but due to nerves in stressful situations she showed fear aggression. Suzie is now being cared for in a foster home with a dog trainer where she has shown no signs of aggression towards people. Suzie is being clicker trained and is being introduced to a variety of people, environments and new situations including dog training classes.

Suzie is crate trained and settles well at night, and already has some basic training such as sit, come, bed, and loose - lead walking and of course dinner! The dog trainer also runs a Flyball team and Suzie is being trained in Flyball and has competed in a few competitions already. Suzie has become a team dog mixing happily with other dogs and handlers and is regularly handled by different people including children and is much loved by all.

Suzie is a lovely dog who has a lot of love to give the right owner, she is intelligent and would be a great companion whether it’s curling up on the sofa or going for a long walk. The right owner would be someone with patience and understanding who would be willing to take things at her pace and gradually introduce her to a new home. The foster home she is currently in has 2 other dogs, although she has got on well the majority of times there has been occasional incidences over jealousy regarding one of the other dogs affection for their owner. The home also has 2 rabbits and a cat and she has displayed little interest in them and often curls up on the bed with the cat.

The ideal home would be in a house without any other dogs however, socialising her with another dog is a distinct possibility just dependent on the other dogs personality. Also preferably in a home with no young children although older children from about 9 would be fine as long as they are respectful to her insecurities and boundaries. There have been no problems with her out on walks or in classes meeting and playing with other dogs and she is a joyful dog who will make someone a lovely companion.

Free training would be available to help with settling her in to a new home and it would be lovely if she could carry on with Flyball as she thoroughly enjoys it.
