12-11-18 Cool is a very nervous ex breeding girl who is the most nervous of her kennel friends and sometimes can be flightly and looks to them for reassurance on times. Although she is hand shy she will allow you to pick to her up but you can see the fear in her eyes.
​Cool (who we call Scout) has been on foster with us for 3 weeks now and while she is making progress, it is very slow. She is terrified of people and is very skittish. She is learning to walk on a long line lead as she will not walk close enough to use a normal lead, although her love of treats is helping. She adores my pack and gets comfort from snuggling up with them. She watches them very closely and I know is trying to trust us, as they do.
Scout is not yet fully housetrained but is dry in her crate overnight.
Scout is going to need a home experienced with ex breeders and someone who is confident enough to gently push her boundaries so that she continues to learn how lovely human touch can be. She would be terrified of children so a home without children is a must. An existing confident, kind, non dominant older dog will be the perfect companion for her as she is not currently able to cope with a younger dog trying to play. This little girl has the potential to be a happy, cheeky little Beagle, given time, love and patience.
PLEASE NOTE: We nearly always home dogs who have come from breeders where there is ALREADY A RESIDENT DOG living in the house. They have usually never lived in a house before and are only used to canine company. They usually get their confidence and learn faster with another dog to copy from. This also helps with house training and learning how to walk on a lead. They will make lovely pets but do need a lot of love, time and patience. If the ex breeding dog you are interested in can be an only dog it will say so in its write up. Please read our information on ADOPTING EX-BREEDING DOGS before you apply.
Although COOL is by donation rather than the full adoption fee, we ask for a minimum donation of £100 to help cover the costs that have been incurred. All our dogs are micro-chipped, have had at least their first inoculation and are spayed/neutered unless there is a medical reason for not doing so. If your application is successful you will be home checked and you, all members of your family and any dog(s) who will be living with the dog MUST come to meet the dog you want to adopt. You must have a safe means of transporting the dog home in a crate or if this is not possible please discuss with Many Tears or the Fosterer when your application is being processed.
