“The reason I am emailing is to just gauge your availability and if there would be potential that you could take on a very young female Dutch herder. I believe she is about a year old. The microchip is blank with no implantation date. She wouldn’t be able to leave us until Fri 24th Oct, after her stat 7 stray days.
She only came in the early hours of the 16th, but the behaviours I saw today, I know that she is going to be very bored in kennels, and it would be great to move her along as soon as it is possible. I don’t want her stay in kennels to be detrimental to her welfare.
Just so you are aware, the finder grabbed her by the collar which shocked her, and she went to nip the male but didn’t make contact. I’m not concerned about this as it was clearly fear and shock.
She is very bright but does not know any commands. She is nervous, so probably hasn’t had the best handling. She was turfed out the back of a van very early hours on the 16th, and the van drove off. I am assuming I am not going to get any calls about her.
She is not proving dog aggressive, or possessive over toys or bowls from tests done yesterday.
She is very affectionate when she is with someone calm. She leant on me for lots of affection.
She did grab my sleeve ever so gently yesterday to initiate play.”
So please welcome Phoenix as we have renamed her. Born in October 2024, this lovely female Dutch Herder is still very wary of new people and does not like people around her collar area for obvious reasons.
Phoenix will be fully vaccinated once she is totally comfortable being handle and she is being socialised with other dogs and people.
When the time comes, this girl will need an understanding home with someone who is experienced with the breed.
