Blossom

Beautiful Blossom is a sweet and endearing girl who thrives in the company of her trusted people. She is fond of a good ball game and loves cosying up on a lap whenever she can! She can become worried in busy environments and around some strangers and dogs, sometimes barking towards them, so will need her owner to advocate for her and provide her with reassurance and guidance when needed. Blossom wears a muzzle when out and about, as a safety precaution. She enjoys gentle, quiet, walks where she can sniff to her heart's content and take in her surroundings at her own pace. Blossom is looking for an experienced person or family that will have the time to continue with her training and socialisation and provide her with the mental and physical stimulation she needs. She will make a truly wonderful and affectionate companion for the right match.

Other Notes

Due to her nervous nature at times, Blossom is looking for a calm, adult only home, without visiting children. A home in a rural/semi rural setting would be ideal. She can live in a ground floor flat as long as there is access to a private garden. Her new owner will be expected to continue her training and will receive three free 1:1 sessions with our Mayhew Animal Behaviourist to help guide them. Blossom has had a descale and polish of her teeth whilst with us. Blossom has been neutered, microchipped and vaccinated and is up to date with flea and worm treatment. She has also been health checked and behaviourally assessed. Lastly, every dog adopted from us will go home with 4 weeks free pet insurance.
