About This Dog for Adoption

Pretzel's ideal home

Pretzel is a sweet 1½-year-old girl who can be shy when meeting new people, but she warms up quickly once she feels comfortable. She has a moderate energy level—she loves a good zoom around the garden and playing with her toys, but she’s just as happy to curl up for a cuddle afterwards. Pretzel can live with children aged 11+ who understand when she needs a bit of space. She can be left for a few hours, though this will need to be built up gradually to help her feel secure.

Could you be Pretzel's perfect match?

Pretzel is friendly with other dogs and could live with a playful canine companion, pending a successful mix at the centre. She needs a quiet, calm home, as she can be easily startled by loud noises and unfamiliar environments. Patient adopters who can help her gain confidence at her own pace will be essential. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate young dog who’ll reward your patience with love, fun, and cuddles, Pretzel could be the perfect addition to your family.
