Meet Georgie!  Beautiful Georgie is a very timid and nervous girl who is looking for a special home where she can finally feel safe, secure and loved.  Georgie can be unsure of the world around her, but once you take the time to earn her trust, her lovely personality begins to shine through.  Beneath that nervous exterior is a very sweet girl who just needs someone to believe in her and give her the time she needs to blossom.  She will need patient, gently handling and understanding people who won’t rush her or expect too much too soon.  Georgie is still learning about some of the things many dogs take for granted.  Wearing a harness is something she is still unsure about, and walking on a lead is all new to her.  Grooming can also be frightening, as she is scared of the brush, so this will need to be introduced slowly and sensitively. Georgie is looking for a quiet, calm home with people who have previous experience with timid dogs.  She needs someone who understands that confidence cannot be rushed and that even the smallest steps forward deserve to be celebrated.  She may take time to settle in and learn to trust her new family, but with kindness, consistency and plenty of patience, she will begin to feel more comfortable and allow her lovely personality to shine brighter each day.  Georgie isn’t looking for a busy life or big adventures just yet.  She needs a safe haven, patience and an adopter that will let her go at her own pace.  At 9 years old. this sweet girl deserves to know what it feels like to be truly safe, cherished and loved.  Georgie would benefit from a private secure garden.

Georgie has interacted with other dogs while in our care, although she can be a little unsure around them, she does seem to enjoy their company, so we feel she could possibly live with another older, calm dog following a successful meet and greet (must be neutered).

We are unsure how Georgie would react around cats.

As Georgie came into the home as a stray, we have no previous history on her and as she is very timid and shy we would prefer any children/visiting children in the home to be 14+ years.

If you have a holiday booked in the next 3 months, please wait until you return to apply for a dog.

*Applications that are successful will be provided with further information on each dog to the best of the charity’s knowledge.
