Meet Pancake,

About: Pancake is best suited to experienced owners as she is a shy & timid dog who has some anxious tendencies. But don’t let his reserved nature sway your decision, because in addition Pancake is also a very happy girl, she is excited to make friends, she is playful too & is also very affectionate. She is just a smidge nervous in new environments & around new people.

Pancake is best suited to a calm & quiet home as she is sensitive to loud noises & chaotic movements. Pancake herself is a generally quiet dog, she rarely makes noise.

Ideal Home: Pancake is fine to live in a townhouse, house or on a farm/acreage, with a medium sized yard & high secure fencing.

Access to inside the home is a must of sweet Pancake that she he can feel like part of a family & feel safe in her new home.

Family: Pancake is open to meet kids from 6 years & up, reason for this is again due to her timidity.

Pancake is fine to live with people who work full-time.

Furry Friends: Pancake is best to be the only dog for now. During her dog assessment who was unsure the entire time. She did offer a few play bows, but we feel that she maybe didn't have a lot of exposure to other dogs or socialisation in her previous home, and the interaction overwhelmed her a little. With saying that, she did incredibly well & we can see her potential in becoming social, we just need to work with her a little more to bring her out of her shell.

As we cannot test, we are unsure how Pancake would go living with or meeting cats/pocket pets. This would be up to the discretion of her new owners.

Training & Development: Pancake would benefit from post-adoption training such as training at home to cover basic commands/obedience & group classes to assist her with her social skills & nervousness in new environments.
Pancake is still learning her name, but she knows how to ‘sit’.

Pancake is food motivated, so having treats on hand would be a great tool to have during training sessions. Pancake may jump up to say hello once she feels a little more confident.

We always recommend post-adoption training whether it be at home or with a professional. Training doesn’t have to be a chore – it can be a fun experience for you both, it doesn’t have to take long & is a great way for you to bond with your new pal.

Play: Pancake has mid-range energy levels, and she would benefit from exercise, walking or playtime from 20-30mins per day. Pancakes loves to play with toys, although she doesn’t have a favourite toy, she will happily entertain herself with anything provided to her.

Pancake walks ok on a lead, she does need some leash training as she doesn’t really walk in a straight line. She rarely pulls, so she is fine to be walked with a collar & lead.

Staff Comments: Pancake is a very sweet girl; she is slightly timid at first but loves attention & play time. She just needs some TLC & a patient & understanding owner.
