Once again Snowflake has found herself back in rescue.
We are looking for a loving, understanding and quiet home for Snowflake who is now approx 6 years old.
She first came into our care about ten months ago. She was a stray who was picked up and never claimed.
Snowflake bonded very closely with me and from the first day I met her I was besotted!
Sadly Snowflake’s past was obviously violent. She has a deep rooted mistrust for certain people and is protective of people that she does bond with. She will cringe in certain situations and is obviously distressed if she gets shouted at.
She was homed from here and was there for four months and she was very happy with her two main handlers and would do anything for them. However, this home was a busy place to live in due to other young family members and Snowflake was the wrong character for that environment.
She does have an issue when the doorbell goes and always has. She gets far too excited by the idea that there is someone new standing behind the door! I have dealt with this by calling her away from the door and placing her in another room using treat and reward tactics. Food is far more interesting to Snowflake and she quickly learns that if she comes away from the door, that she will get a tit-bit. Another way of dealing with this is to tell her to go into her crate (she is fully crate trained and I tend to put her in a crate when visitors are around because of her mistrust and behaviour due to her past).
Snowflake loves her walks and has always got one eye on her owner in case they get lost. She exercises well with other dogs, but would prefer a home with no other pets – she likes all the attention and likes her toys to be hers and nobody else’s. Snowflake does not get on well with cats.
Snowflake must go to a home with adult handlers – no children – or even as a one person’s pet. She would make a wonderful companion to someone on their own, but she is an active dog so would need an owner who is up for long walks and exercise. The home that she goes to must be a quiet home with little ‘traffic’ coming through the house. She will need a Staffie experienced home.
