Rehoming – Profile
Nova came into us in the beginning of February, she was brought in as the owner couldn’t cope with the number of animals in the house.
Behaviour observations on site:
Nova is such a sweetheart but is generally fearful of new environments and the outside world. She takes time getting used to new places and people and tends to cling on to things she knows. Nova takes time to build a bond and trust people but once she gets to know you all she wants to do us sit on your lap and have cuddles.
When on walks, Nova can get scared of most things, such as; cars, cyclists, people, and everyday noises. She requires a confident owner who is willing to allow her to explore the world at her own pace.
Restraint and over handling are also scary for Nova, places like the vets can be very overwhelming for her and she will need to wear a muzzle when visiting the vets. We have began muzzle training Nova here at the shelter and she is picking it up quickly. She doesn’t like her nails being clipped but tolerates having a bath and doesn’t mind being brushed.
Nova may benefit from living with another small, but confident dog to help her navigate the world and build her confidence. Nova can be fearful of other dogs initially so introductions will have to be taken slowly with any potential resident dogs.
Nova has shown some signs of having separation anxiety and becomes anxious in new situations. She tends to seek out comfort from trusted handlers when worried. New owners will need to consider gradually leaving Nova alone, as she will need someone at home for most of the day initially.
Cannot be rehomed to Portchester
