My story:
Hi, I'm Rae Rae!
I arrived at WAG a few days before Christmas with my litter of 7 puppies. I am a good mom but I am young myself and still learning all about the world around me. I am super sweet and cuddly, I love getting belly rubs from the staff and seem to be settling in well to the shelter so far. My puppies will all be looking for homes of their own soon, I hope I won't be forgotten and left till last, I'm a special girl and can't wait to start my next adventure! I'm around 1-2 years old and currently weigh 27kg, I will fill out abit as I am no longer feeding the puppies and am getting consistent healthy nutrition at the shelter. I am new to walking on a harness and leash but I am keen to learn and explore more of the world outside the shelter, at my own pace. I am really nervous around cars and busses but I do well in the woods nearby when I can relax a bit more and do lots of sniffing. I have been starting to show my playful side and chase toys, but cuddles and treats are my favourite way to unwind so far. I am currently in isolation but hope to make some new friends soon once I am vaccinated and feeling less anxious about all this change. I would love to find a patient understanding family who will let me take things slowly and will be keen to work with a WAG approved positive reinforcement trainer to help me feel safe and learn the new skills that will get me to gain confidence and live in a home. I am so sweet and loving, I just need someone to take me home and show me the world is a safe place and I will start to show my loving sweet self.
Keep an eye on my profile for updates as the staff get to know me better, but if you are interested in adopting me then go ahead and fill out an application to adopt today....
My perfect home:
A family with patience who love sweet cuddly young dogs who need some extra support, able to provide me with a safe space.
Is ready for the 10+ year commitment.
Understanding that I have had HUGE changes in my life recently. I am new to living indoors, wearing a harness/ leash, going in cars and more! I will need you to give me the time I need to settle in and relax after my adoption, whilst you help me gain confidence. I have recently been a mom to a litter of 7 puppies, which is a big task!
Be proactive with my training, using a local WAG approved trainer that will help me learn transition and give me the best set up for success.
Having a safe & secured yard would be a bonus for ball play sessions! If not, being okay with using a long line to allow plenty of freedom but keep me safe as I settle in.
Will take me for regular vet checkups and be proactive with my health.
I need a home that is committed to me and ready to give me a life with love and kindness for the rest of my years.
