Ivy is an absolutely gorgeous girl with a heart full of love, and so much affection waiting to be shared. Rescued from a kill shelter, this special girl is now looking for the forever home she deserves – somewhere she can feel safe, build her confidence, and show the world just how wonderful she truly is.
Ivy is brilliant with both people and other dogs, and her transformation from a timid, anxious girl into a playful little character has been beautiful to watch. Once she feels comfortable and understands that she can trust you, her true personality begins to shine. She forms incredibly strong bonds with her humans and, before long, you’ll have your very own little shadow following you around, wanting to be wherever you are. She has the cutest little bounces to invite you to play, absolutely loves attention, and we have no doubt that sofa cuddles will quickly become one of her favourite pastimes.
Although Ivy is generally wonderful with people, we suspect that, due to a lack of exposure to different experiences, she can be a little hesitant around men initially. The good news is that she is doing brilliantly with the male staff and volunteers at Just for Dogs, and this progress gives us plenty of reason to be hopeful. She will need a home that understands confidence takes time, where she can build relationships at her own pace without pressure. With patience, kindness, and gentle encouragement, we believe she will soon begin to feel more comfortable and let that lovely personality shine through.
Ivy is also a fantastic girl out on her walks and is brilliant on the lead, making her a lovely companion for someone who enjoys getting outside and exploring together. She doesn’t need someone to rush her or expect her to be confident overnight; she simply needs someone who will stand by her, support her through unfamiliar situations, and show her that the world can be a safe and happy place. In return, you’ll gain an incredibly loyal companion who will love being by your side.
