15/08/2024 – We are delighted to hear that Clio has now found her new home. Yay!
———————–
Beautiful Clio came to Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in Brands Hatch, Kent, through no fault of her own. Sadly, she’s not had a lot of interest in adoption and really deserves to find a loving, permanent home.
Clio is 11 years old and is a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. She is a sweet and affectionate girl who loves nothing more than her humans and being told she’s done a good job. Despite her age, Clio is still a firm fan of her walks and playing with her ball, although she equally can cuddle up and lounge with her human.
Clio has got a worried side, particularly around handling and other dogs. While she loves a fuss, more formal handling like vet checks or being harnessed up can frighten Clio, and she will need new owners who can build up her confidence around this handling and be able to read her body language to give her breaks when needed.
Clio has shown herself to be worried and intolerant around other dogs. She will need someone who is confident in reading body language to support her in moving away from other dogs when uncomfortable. It’s recommended that Clio is kept on-lead while around other dogs and for new owners to utilise a long line to allow her the freedom while still maintaining a check on her.
Clio was previously housetrained in her history; however, when left for particularly longer periods of time, Clio has been struggling to hold it and was having some accidents. She may need some reminders in her new home to support her housetraining. Clio can live with teenage children but needs to be the only pet in the home.
