ANGEL - ESSEX

Angel is a petite 2 year old girl who is unspayed. She was taken in by her present owners privately when the original owner was struggling to cope. They had every intention of keeping her but due to a change in their circumstances sadly Angel is looking for her 3rd and final home.

She has been in her present home for 10 weeks, Angel adapted to her move really well. On her arrivacl she was confronted with 5 children of varying ages and a cat. She chased the cat and when got close proceeded to give it a wash. 

The voluteer was greeted by barking but a curious dog who could obviouslyt smell treats !! Whilst the paperwork was being completed Angel settled herself calmly on the sofa and went to sleep. She settles quite quickly with female visitors but does take a little longer with males. 

Her owners have certainly been putting in the training in the home. Angel is crate trained and this is what she uses as her safe space. It is also used when everyone is out of the home. A maximum of 3 hours, the rest of the time she has the full run of the house.

Angel is raw fed and doing extremely well. Thge children roam around with food and Angel takes no notice and never  attempts to steal it, the same with toys. The children can take toys away from her without issue.

Out of the home is stiill in need of work. On arrival with her present owner she was extremely reactive to everything as she had rarely been out of the home. She is walked on a slip lead and is a lot better. They scatter treats on the floor to avert her gaze from what she wants to bark at and this seems to work. Having said that when out she is on high alert most of the time. When she reacted to a lady and her toddler, making a move towards them she was easily corrected and rewarded. 

Angel has been carefully introduced to a family members dog and that went well. 

In reagrds to cats whilst she is living with a cat she would need slow introduction to any cat that she doesn't know.

In summary Angel is a very sweet girl who is very intelligent and has already learned to overcome some of her bad behaviours. She has learnt some commands and the rtest are a work in progress. She has been taught threshold so that she doesn't go near the door when opened. She will also remain in her crate until given a command.

Angel would suit any family with or without children but would be best suited at present as the only dog. She copes and adapts to what is in front of her but is definitley better in the home than outdoors. If you are willing to put in the work and give consitency with your training you will have the most fabulous companion.
