About Twiggy
I have spent the last two months with foster parents learning how to be a family pet, sharing my life with a therapy dog, and guide dog puppy.
I am lively and clever little girl, and quick to learn new tricks. I sit, wait, recall, and respect the boundaries you set. And I love occasional zoomies and to chasing a ball. Most of the time I bring it back; sometimes I forget and come back without it. Occasionally, I pull the stuffing out of my doggy toys - whoops. That being said, I am still a bit of a puppy.
I will take a day or two to settle into new environments, but I adore humans once I have had an initial sniff.
Since being in my foster home, I now get on really well with other dogs (again, after a short sniff-off) in the home and out and about on my daily walks. So I could be a one dog pet, or go to a home with another dog that is confident, knows how to play, and has obedience.
I also love walks! I used to be nervous on walks, but now I don't mind trains, traffic, loud noises, or other dogs.
I can be left home alone, but you might want to close the bedroom doors, I like to sleep on a bed. When you are at home, I will loyally follow you around, or curl up in a ball in your company on my favourite dog bed.
Now, here's the deal-breaker – no small animals in my kingdom. I have a prey drive, like most dogs, and I wouldn't want to unintentionally scare anyone.
So, if you're ready for an adventure, a bit of slobber, and a whole lot of love, please complete an expression on interest form below as life with me is like fine wine, – it only gets better with time!
Please note; Twiggy's meet and greets are pre-arranged and will be conducted in her foster home.

Medical notes
Carpal valgus
Description: This patient has mild outward rotation of the front feet. This may be due to breed/genetics and/or nutrition when younger. It can sometimes be associated with elbow dysplasia, though there is no obvious lameness or discomfort on examination. It is possible that early arthritis may develop, there is no current evidence of this.
