Diva is a beautiful, gentle girl with a quiet nature and a little bit of sass once she feels comfortable.
She is well behaved and affectionate, but she can be shy and cautious when meeting new people. Diva is particularly unsure around men and is not the sort of dog who will rush forward to greet everybody. She prefers to stand back, take things in and decide in her own time that you are someone she can trust.
Once she does, a very different Diva emerges — loving, loyal and affectionate, with a big heart and plenty of love to give.
Diva’s foster mum describes her as a sweet girl who likes to feel safe and settled. She is a great observer of people and may watch newcomers rather suspiciously for a while before deciding they pass muster!
✓ Sweet and gentle nature
✓ Well behaved
✓ Loving and affectionate once she trusts you
✓ Quietly observant around new people
✓ Likes a calm, secure environment
✓ Plenty of personality once she comes out of her shell
Diva will suit people who understand that trust does not always happen instantly. She needs a home where she will be allowed to settle at her own pace, without pressure, and where gentle handling and consistency will help her confidence continue to grow.
For the right person, the reward will be seeing this lovely girl decide that you are one of *her* people — and discovering just how much affection she has been keeping in reserve.
Diva’s heart ♥️ is definitely worth the wait.
