Florence

Florence is a beautiful and loving companion who is finally ready to look for her forever family. She was rescued on her due date at Renbury Farm Shelter, after arriving there as a stray. Florence was emaciated and quite sick but even in this terrible state, you could see how much love and devotion she was ready to give to whoever showed her kindness.

Florence has been in foster care since the beginning of June as she needed around the clock care and attention to get back to health again. She spent the first week barely leaving her bed and heater, just sleeping and eating. Eventually she started to enjoy some time outside and getting to know her new companions. Florence is is now lovely and shiny and a healthy weight (with a tendency to put on a little too much weight these days). She has had all her vet work completed and has fully recovered - its hard to believe the before photos now.

Florence lives with a female Maltese/ShihTzu and a male Foxie/Kelpie. Florence enjoys being outside in the garden with her companions and having a run and a wrestle. She gets along with big and small dogs and has never showed any sign of dog aggression towards anyone she meets. Florence isn't suitable for a home with cats as she can't help barking at them.

Florence loves children, her only vice is putting her paw up to ask for more pats, which we are trying to teach her not to do. She loves to walk, and has been well behaved on outings, although she doesn't 'heel' yet, she doesn't pull or lunge, just walks out the front of you and is excited to go on an adventure. She stops for pats from strangers and just loves everybody she meets.

Florence is housetrained, and likes to snooze on her bed in the laundry each evening and wander in over to the lounge for an occasional pat, and then take her self back to her bed for another snooze.
