Description

After living in a loving home for 5 years, her family believe she needs a quieter home. We are devastated for her but feel she deserves better. Her family say: Snowy will do anything for food! She so loves a treat and has created such a strong and loving bond with all our family over the last 5 years, playing games around food and reward. Walking her across the park and playing wait and chase for a treat with her has been such joy. As she creeps forward in her cheeky manner, pretending you haven’t noticed that she’s moved early, and then sprints with playful energy towards you and the treat, is glorious to see. Given a freedom to run, she delights in swirling around the sand on the beach or in the bunkers on the golf course (they are raked afterwards!) or running between family members with treats at hand. Snowy has good experience of long walks with our friends and is a great companion on the walks. Snowy is a loyal friend. She is so excitable to see people she knows and trusts and can smell out a fellow friendly dog walker a mile off! She can also smell out a squirrel a mile off and no treat will dissuade her from making a dash for a prey she has never yet caught. But Snowy also loves to be at home. She is so comfortable in her “doughnut” bed and will rest there or on the rug under the table for hours, occasionally giving us a relaxed and contented sigh before drifting off to sleep again. She would of course much prefer to be on the couch with us, but we have not allowed that, nor have we allowed her upstairs in the house. She knows the rules, but would happily break them to be with us more! As we’re sitting on the couch in the evening, she’ll come and rest her long nose on our laps, looking for a good petting or better still, a snack. At night, she will often creep half way up the stairs to see if we fancy breaking our own rules! We usually walk Snowy on a long walk (circa 45 minutes – 1 hour) early each morning before her breakfast (although she’d happily have it before) and then head to work, coming back at lunch to let her out in the garden and have a chat with her. She’s comfortable on her own at home but we’re careful not to leave our shoes out in case she decides to have a nibble, as she has done on occasion. We try to find places to walk Snowy where there are fewer people or keep her on a short lead. We usually walk her on a long lead, occasionally letting her free when there is no one around. Snowy is fine on the lead and doesn’t pull other than on rare occasions, but she is not difficult to control. She loves being off the lead, but she can be unreliable with strangers so we have to be vigilant. She can become especially defensive towards runners or other dogs, although her defensive outbursts can come at random times or not at all. Her long lead means we can easily grab her if we sense she is becoming scared or aggressive. We are especially watchful around small dogs, where we have seen instances of her becoming aggressively defensive. Generally, we feel a quieter house is best for Snowy and perhaps one where the owners are more at ease with allowing Snowy to be on a couch with them or even upstairs. And whilst she struggles with strangers, she is receptive to learning about new people and we have been through many occasions with friends and neighbours, where after several experiences with them, she begins to trust and can happily be with them. Freedom Angels regret we cannot consider applications for Snow from People under 25 years old People with children under 10 years old Homes without direct access to a private and secure garden Homes where the dog will have to be left alone more than 4 hours in a working day
