Freya - female Terrier (Jack Russell)

Freya is a little nervous around new people so will need a new family who can commit to meeting her here at the centre a few times, until she feels confident enough to go home. Freya is deaf and a slow approach will be needed when handling her as if startled, she may snap. She does mix well with other calm and quiet dogs when out and about, however she does not want to share her living space and does need to be the only pet in the home. Freya is currently in one of our wonderful foster homes and she loves nothing more than spending time with Lynne, her favourite person, going for walks. She isn't able to go as far as she would like these days due to some arthritis in her legs, so she's happy to stay at home eating her favourite snacks sometimes! Freya's favourite places are watching the word go by at the front window, curled up in a little ball on the sofa snoozing, or pottering around in the garden. Freya is a very sensitive little dog who builds a strong bond with her people and finds it difficult to be left alone, she will need someone at home all day with no time spent alone initially. Help and advice will be given by our training team regarding her separation issues. Although Freya forms a close bond with her people she does very much prefer a hands off approach and will make it clear when she is not comfortable with handling; it has to be on Freya's terms. Freya is a sweet little girl who needs an understanding new home that will allow her the much needed time to settle in and to get to know her new surroundings and family.

Freya needs a quiet home with adults only and to be the only pet. Although she would enjoy walks with other doggy pals she does not want to share her living space with them. Freya is house trained but does not like to be left and struggles when alone so will need someone at home all of the time with her.
