31/07/2024 – Smarty has a new home lined up!
—————-
Gorgeous Smarty is an approximately 7 year old, chocolate Poodle who has embarked on a new chapter of her life after being rescued from a breeding kennel. Currently, she’s thriving in a loving foster home in Gloucestershire provided by Starfish Dog Rescue. She is sharing her space with two elderly dogs, a younger dog and, occasionally, visiting grandchildren. There are some lovely videos available here.
Since her arrival, Smarty has made significant strides. She is a petite girl, weighing around 3.5 kilos, who initially felt confused and overwhelmed by her new surroundings. Despite her uncertainty, she has shown a deep desire to connect, forming a particularly strong bond with her foster Dad, whom she loves to curl up all day with if she had the chance. Smarty has no malice, only a gentle soul seeking the affection she has missed out on. She is a special little girl who deserves a special family that will help her blossom into the dog she was always meant to be.
Smarty’s foster family is gently introducing her to the joys of a regular routine, including walks and lots of affection. While she is still adjusting and tends to be a bit shy, her little tail wags reveal her growing trust and longing for love. She finds comfort in the presence of her canine foster brother, Toby, often snuggling up with him on the bed.
Traveling in the car is no problem for Smarty, and she sleeps peacefully at night with her foster carer. This sweet little dog will flourish in an experienced home where she can be nurtured with patience, love, and understanding. Having another gentle dog as a companion would be ideal to help guide her and build her confidence.
Smarty has received comprehensive veterinary care: she has been spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and treated for worms and fleas. She also had several rotten teeth removed and is completing a course of antibiotics. Additionally, she is being treated for ear mites and is now enjoying a diet of high-quality food, making steady progress every day.
