Hope
About This Dog
Hope's ideal home
Hope is an adorable 5 year old Collie cross, looking for a loving, understanding home. Having come into our care as a stray, she is searching to live in a peaceful, rural environment with a secure private garden where she can have space to feel safe and settled. Hope can be particularly sensitive to traffic and busy surroundings, so quiet walking routes are essential, and she would benefit from a predictable household routine, as she has little experience with home life. Hope would be best suited to an adult-only home with active adopters who enjoy regular walks and have the patience to continue her training, including housetraining and lead work. Limited visitors to the household would be best suited to Hope, as long as they are able to give her space and read her body language. Hope would prefer to be the only pet in the home, although she could enjoy socialising with canine friends when out and about.
Could you be Hope's perfect match?
Hope is a gentle and sensitive soul with a truly sweet nature. She has a playful side that comes alive during a good game of fetch, especially when a ball is involved, although she can become a little fixated so will need help keeping play balanced and positive. While she may approach for fuss, she can feel conflicted about too much handling and prefers affection on her own terms, often choosing to quietly move away when she’s had enough. New experiences can be overwhelming for Hope, but with patient guidance and reassurance she has the potential to grow in confidence. Beneath her worries is a lovely dog who will form a deep bond with adopters willing to go at her pace and celebrate her small victories along the way.
