Meet Hallie!

Hi, I’m Hallie! Now I won’t lie it’s a PRETTY BIG DEAL that I’m here on the website and in the position where I’m ready to find my forever home. You see I’ve actually been at the centre for 5 months and came in a very frightened and stressed girl. The team have been working so hard with me to help me learn that people can be kind and want to give me nice things - like treats and head scratches! Before all their work I couldn’t be touched and would cower in my room if people passed by but recently a breakthrough has been made!

With the help of other doggie friends at the centre I have been able to leave my kennel and go for walks - and even play! I can’t believe what I’ve been missing out on! It’s all still very new but I can’t wait to keep making progress and learn what being a dog is all about.

As you can see, I’m an extra special girl so an extra special home is needed with a lot of patience and kindness, and this will mean a hands-off approach to begin with. My main motivation is other dogs so I’m ideally looking for a home with a friend who can reassure me and show me the way. In time I will come to you, but this won’t be an immediate thing, so I’ll need you to be patient and understanding. I could live with teenagers who understand the importance of my training and understand my needs, but younger children would not be the right fit for me right now.

I’m on behaviour medication to help with my anxiety but my hope is that once I am settled, I can be weaned off it as I won’t need it anymore! My journey has not been a straightforward one but for me and the team here at the centre it’s been a great reward to watch me flourish into a dog who is brave enough to start exploring the world and trusting people again. If you’d like to join me on my journey and help me to become the confident and happy dog, I deserve to be then please register your interest!
