Violet

Hiiii, I'm Violet! I am a sweet lil girl who is slowly finding my feet in this world. I haven't been exposed to a whole lot so I'm on the nervous side, but I am slowly coming out of my shell with the amazing help of the team at the RSPCA, they have been so patient with me! I will need a home who can enroll me in training from the get go, I know a thing here and there but training would be EXTREMELY beneficial for me to help me become a well-mannered pup. My owners will need to be very dedicated to continue ongoing socialisation around other pets and people, and be able to include me in all aspects of family life when I am settled. I will need my new fam to take it slow with me and introduce me to new places, people and experiences gradually and pair any new intros with positive things like treats!. I am a very active girl who will need plenty of mental and physical enrichment daily, such as walks, sniffing games, treat puzzles, chew toys and eating my meals out of a kong! I would like for you to begin with crate training so that I can have a safe place to retreat to if I get overwhelmed. I also can be quite shy with being handled a whole lot, so I will need for you to work on building a bond with me first and gain my trust before doing so, working on gentle handling techniques and using low stress handling at the vets.
Everything I experience is new to me, so I need a home that is predictable which means no kids in the home, and no kids that visit. I would also prefer if my owners are home most of the time.
I could potentially live with another dog, but they would need to be calm, well rounded, MALE and older then me. Any meets with other dogs will need to be done slowly and controlled, and avoid dog parks until I am a lil more confident! If you have another doggo friend in the home, meet and greets will need to be done with our Behaviour Team who are here MONDAY - FRIDAY 9am - 4pm. If you are kind and have a warm place for me to grow, come to Malaga today!
