🚨💚💙 URGENT FOSTER / FOSTER TO ADOPT HOME NEEDED – TAIPEI AKA WANDA! 💙💚🚨

🐾 A Fun-Loving, Energetic Girl Searching for Her Perfect Match! 🐾

🐶 Staffy Mix | Female | Approximately 1 Year Old
💰 Adoption Fee: $800 (Only Applicable if Adopting)

💔 WANDA NEEDS A SECOND CHANCE AT HER HAPPILY EVER AFTER! 💔

Meet Wanda, a gorgeous young Staffy mix with a big personality, a zest for life and plenty of love to give! 🥹❤️

Originally rescued from a NSW pound, Wanda thought she had found her forever home. Sadly, through no fault of her own, she is now searching for a new foster or foster-to-adopt family who can provide the active lifestyle, companionship and ongoing training she needs to thrive.

Her current adopter has made the difficult decision to surrender Wanda back into our care, as they feel she would be much happier in a household with another dog and someone who can better accommodate her energy levels.

This decision has been made with Wanda’s best interests at heart, and we want to ensure her next home is the right one! 💕

🐶 A HAPPY, SOCIAL & ENERGETIC GIRL!

Wanda is a lively young girl who absolutely loves being active and having things to do!

💚 Dog Friendly – Wanda enjoys the company of other dogs and would likely benefit from having a compatible canine companion to play with.

💙 Cat Friendly – She has been around cats and is reported to be cat friendly.

💚 House Trained – Wanda has already mastered her toilet training!

💙 Clever Girl – She knows commands including sit and touch, and has been working on her recall.

💚 Full of Energy – Wanda would love an active family who enjoys walks, adventures, playtime and keeping busy!

With the right environment, structure and guidance, Wanda has so much potential to blossom into a wonderful companion. 🥰

🐕 SHE JUST NEEDS A LITTLE HELP WITH HER EXCITEMENT!

One important thing potential carers need to understand is that Wanda is currently displaying lead reactivity and frustration when out in public, particularly when she sees other dogs.

Wanda becomes very excited and frustrated when she cannot approach or interact with other dogs, which can result in barking, lunging and difficulty settling while on the lead.

While she is reported to be dog friendly, these behaviours can make walks challenging, especially in busy environments with lots of dogs around.

This is something her current adopter has been working on with the assistance of a professional trainer, and Wanda will need someone committed to continuing that training.

We would love to find someone who understands that being dog friendly doesn’t necessarily mean a dog knows how to calmly walk past other dogs just yet!

With patience, consistency, positive reinforcement and appropriate guidance, we hope Wanda can continue developing her confidence and lead manners. ❤️

🏡 WANDA’S IDEAL HOME

We are searching for a dedicated foster or foster-to-adopt family who can offer Wanda:

🐾 An active lifestyle – Someone who enjoys exercise, adventures, interactive play and providing plenty of physical and mental enrichment.

🐾 A compatible canine companion – Ideally a home with another friendly, playful dog who enjoys having a buddy, with slow and appropriate introductions.

🐾 A quieter walking environment – Somewhere Wanda can enjoy exercise and training without constantly being overwhelmed by other dogs.

🐾 Ongoing training – Someone patient and committed to helping her work through her lead frustration and continue developing her recall and manners.

🐾 Structure and consistency – A family who understands the needs of an energetic young dog and can provide a predictable routine.

🐾 Plenty of love and companionship – Someone who will include Wanda in their everyday life and help her become the best version of herself.

❤️ WHY FOSTER TO ADOPT?

Wanda has already experienced the disappointment of losing what was meant to be her forever home, and we would love to avoid putting her through multiple unnecessary moves.

Our Foster to Adopt program allows Wanda time to settle into a new environment while giving her potential forever family the opportunity to get to know her personality, understand her needs and determine whether they are the right match.

We would absolutely love to find someone who is genuinely considering adopting Wanda, but we are also welcoming foster offers to ensure she has somewhere safe to go. 💚💙

🥹 SHE DOESN’T NEED A PERFECT FAMILY, JUST THE RIGHT ONE!

Wanda isn’t a bad dog. She’s a young, energetic girl who is still learning how to navigate the world around her.

She needs someone who sees beyond her excitement on walks and recognises the beautiful, playful and clever girl underneath.

Someone who will celebrate her progress, help her through the challenging moments and give her the opportunity to thrive.

Most importantly, she deserves a family who understands her needs and is committed to giving her the stability and love she deserves. ❤️
