Description
Faye is a large, seven-year-old female who is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.
Faye was rescued from the streets of Romania in March 2020 and spent around six months in shelter before being adopted into a UK home. She lived with her family for almost three years before being surrendered due to increasing guarding and reactivity issues, particularly around visitors and the family’s two daughters, aged sixteen and five.
In her home, Faye was affectionate and playful with her immediate family and enjoyed attention, walks and running in open spaces. However, she showed strong guarding behaviours towards the home and family, barking and raising her hackles at strangers or sounds outside. She would growl when visitors entered the house and had to be managed in a separate room. She also showed guarding towards the kitchen and sleeping spaces, which at times caused tension with her family.
Faye’s family reported several concerning incidents: she nipped a visiting child, growled at their teenage daughter, and reacted to sudden movement from their younger daughter when startled awake. She has also bitten a cat in the home. Around other dogs she can be highly reactive — stalking, growling and lunging if not managed — and has nipped when they have come too close. Her family worked hard to manage this using desensitisation and blocking techniques and saw some gradual improvement, but felt her behaviours had become too difficult to manage safely alongside young children.
Since arriving at our UK kennels, Faye has continued to show some guarding and reactivity but has also made steady progress with experienced handling. She has pinned a kennel mate on two occasions and was involved in a group fight that resulted in puncture wounds to another dog. She can be vocal when stressed and has once attempted to bite during an introduction. However, with structure, space and consistency she is able to settle and walk calmly alongside familiar dogs. On recent decompression walks she has relaxed, enjoyed exploring and ignored other dogs and wildlife nearby.
Faye loves spending time with people she knows and trusts. She can be excitable to start her walks but quickly focuses and walks nicely on a lead. She enjoys being scatter-fed and using slow feeders, is clean in her kennel and is not destructive. She does not like crates.
Faye has a high prey drive and cannot live with cats or small furries. She may be able to live with another calm and confident dog after multiple slow and successful meets. She is currently being muzzle-trained and will need to meet prospective adopters at the kennels to allow introductions to be carried out gradually.
Faye will need a calm, experienced, adult-only home (18+) that understands guarding and reactivity. Her new owner must be confident in managing these behaviours and continue building on her progress through structure, patience and trust.
Faye is a clever and sensitive girl who forms close bonds with her people and thrives on gentle reassurance and routine. With the right experience and boundaries, she will continue to build confidence and show her loyal, affectionate nature.
