Description
AVAILABLE-‘Avis’ Devon area-she’ll
will give you everything if you show
her love, compassion &
understanding .Great with dogs & so very
gentle & calm
A little bit about their history
Avis & Echo her sister were abandoned to
their fate in a dog intolerant environment
around May 25’ before they were carted
off to a shelter where there is no future for any animal unless a caring soul changes that.
They huddled together though
started to come out of their shells with
echo bring the more animated. In
December of the same year break the
chains welfare rescued her as they do so
many & gave her the opportunity to go to
the U.K. There with likeminded animal
lovers she would be able to decompress &
discover what a warm bed is all about. We
thank the lady that offered a placement for the dog who most needed it & the second foster family. We felt Avis would be able to continue to flourish around other dogs & in an area that we have so many adoption enquiries- the beautiful Devonshire region!
Our appreciation to our experienced
welfare voluntary manager Karen &
husband Billy for transferring her to their
home. She travelled exceptionally well
from Warlingham & now we are looking for
her special person/s.
Their adorable natures, (please contact us
to learn more).
Avis is the girl in the back of the class who
was too shy to call out though if you spoke
to them they’d reply. Alls a timid soul
needs is a space to occupy without
everyone else filling it in for them. She wouldn’t react to a fly and you can
see the calming atmosphere that she
brings with her when so many dogs meet
her for the first time and non of them feel
threatened. She’s so docile though far
more than that- she also possesses a
majestic & enchanting aura. If she was in
‘Lord of the rings’ she’d be a she-elf.
Additionally Avis is immensely courageous
& it’s a bravery that is both humbling &
admirable. How did the girl at the back of
the class walk so well to the front past all
the other ‘pupils’? That’s what Avis did on
transport day. She has never been walked
other than to the on-site clinic yet she
went forward in a way that rivalled her
more confident counterparts. That’s Avis
right there in that moment and it’s to be
nurtured, built upon & applauded. Never
has this docile creature even attempted to
show objection or react to us humans and
was as quiet & contained at the vets as
any other time. She just moulds around &
within her surroundings & you couldn’t ask
for a more tranquil companion. In the
words of her foster family:-
“We have been caring for Avis for just 3
weeks. When we collected her she was so
very timid, shaking from top to tail if we
went near her.
she would not come in from the garden so
we would have to carry her in, and then put
her out every few hours. The door was
always open , and within a few days, she
followed us outside.... She will often now
follow us out, then come back in , then out.
Quite the adventure.
She has not had a single accident in the
house, and understands 'have a wee' for
toiletting, and after circling for a bit she
will go.
She also eats very well, and understands
'get your dinner' . We feed her on raw dog
mince slightly warmed and kibble .
Avis would definitely need the company of
other dogs, and has no preference to
which sex.
She has a large pack to choose from here,
and adores Khaly, the grandma of our
bunch.
Her and Sandi, our little nursemaid , get on
well, they are so alike. Sandi is so gentle
and desperate to play with Avis.
Tosh is also a firm favourite , so i think she
would fare well with any. She's not too sure
yet of our shihtzus, i think she gains
confidence from the larger dogs.
She is a very gentle girl.... has nerves....but
she has great potential and will make a
fantastic companion once she learns to
trust them”.
Below when she first arrived at her
second foster placement where we knew
she would have more opportunities -
again in the words of Karen her foster
mum:-
“we have had some good progress with
Avis .... She loves her bed , and now
doesn't want
to leave it. We are having to lift her out of it
to carry her outside, but she now goes to
the toilet, and comes in herself and gets
back in her bed. Just need to work on her
going out on her own xxx”
“Up until yesterday morning, we had to slip
lead and bring her in, but since lunch time
yesterday she has been doing it herself.
So proud of her, less than 24 hours.
No accidents in doors and is toiletting
outside.
We are giving her today then tomorrow will
get her out for a short walk.... She's a
beautiful girl. Doesn't come to us for
strokes , and will back off atm, but if she is in her bed, we all talk to her and stroke her and she has stopped shaking now
Avis’s must haves.
