Meet Belle – A Special Girl Looking for Her Forever Home
Belle is a lovely, intelligent girl who enjoys her home comforts, her walks and, of course, anything involving food!
She is a girl who likes to have a routine and knows exactly what to expect from her day. She enjoys getting out and about, exploring new places and putting her nose to good use hunting for tasty treats.
Belle is affectionate and enjoys cuddles, fuss and attention, although she also likes her own space and appreciates having the choice of when she’d like some attention. She can be a little particular about things and prefers not to be disturbed when she’s sleeping.
Belle’s separation anxiety is a significant issue. Her owner describes leaving her to go to bed or even to pop out shopping as very difficult. When left, she may repeatedly throw herself against doors and windows and can become destructive. When her owner is at home, she is generally not destructive. she has learnt to settle alone here at the rehoming centre but going into a new home may set her back but this can be managed and reduced with the correct management and training over time.
She sleeps in the lounge at night but she might benefit from sleeping in her owners bedroom to reduce her anxiety at night being alone which will help being left in the day.
Belle is described as very intelligent and aware of what is happening around her. She recognises familiar routines, sounds and cues, and can anticipate what is about to happen.
What Belle is looking for
She is house trained and travels well in the car. She has good recall and can enjoy off-lead exercise in suitable, secure environments.
Belle generally enjoys meeting other dogs and has had positive interactions, although introductions should always be managed appropriately.
Her ideal home
Belle would love a home with:
- Someone around for most of the day.
- A patient owner who understands separation anxiety.
- A predictable routine and a comfortable place to relax.
- Regular walks and opportunities to explore.
- Plenty of affection, tasty treats and time to settle at her own pace.
Belle is a clever girl who knows her routines and enjoys being involved in everyday life. She has lots of lovely qualities and, with the right understanding and companionship, has so much to offer. Could you be the person who gives Belle the understanding, security and forever home she deserves
