❤️🐶 MARY – SHE IS PERFECT WITH HER PEOPLE… BUT STILL UNCERTAIN ABOUT THE WORLD 🐶❤️
🇬🇧🐾 UK BASED – LOOKING FOR FOSTER OR FOSTER-TO-ADOPT HOME 🏠
📍 Currently located: Lichfield WS13
🌟 Reduced adoption fees • RBU, post-adoption support & 4 weeks ******************Plan insurance provided upon adoption (on request) 🌟
💔 Mary thought she had finally found her forever home.
She was rehomed in Autumn 2025, first as a foster placement… but her family completely fell in love with her and decided to adopt.
And truly — with her people — she has been wonderful.
But despite all the love it became clear that Mary is struggling more and more with the busy outside world and unfamiliar people. Her family are heartbroken, but they know she needs someone who can give her the calm, structured environment she needs to truly feel safe.
This is what her family says:
“Mary has been a wonderful dog and we've really bonded. When it is just the two of us or with my wife and daughter, she's perfect. We've been able to train her to walk perfectly, she listens and never pulls, she never has accidents in the house, is fine around our cats and is fantastic with my daughter. She really just wants to chill out and cuddle or run around the garden.
What she struggles with is being around people that aren't us, both in our house and out on walks.
If someone can help her with this, she will be a perfect companion for their family, but our current situation at home doesn't allow us to give her the space that she needs. I'm heartbroken to have to find her somewhere else to go, but it is the only thing that is fair for her and my family.”

💔 Rescue Story
Mary originally lost her home when her family had to leave the UK and were unable to take her with them. She was then rehomed, and for months everything seemed hopeful.
Her family truly bonded with her and wanted desperately to make it work. But over time, it became clear that Mary’s fear and insecurity around unfamiliar people was deeper than first understood.
🐾 More About Mary
Mary is not an “everybody’s dog.” She looks steady, but has tender sensitive soul who needs predictability and trust.
At home with her people, she is calm, affectionate and beautifully behaved. She loves cuddles, enjoys being close, settles well indoors and has lovely house manners. She walks beautifully on the lead and has made huge progress compared to when she first arrived.
But unfamiliar people still overwhelm her. Visitors, strangers approaching, busy environments or unpredictable interactions can trigger fear responses, including growling or snapping when she feels unsafe. This does not come from malice. It comes from insecurity and fear.
Her family have made this decision not because they don’t love her — but because they do. They know she deserves someone who can help her better than they can in their current situation.
🏡 Ideal Home
Mary needs a dog-savvy not busy home with minimal visitors and very predictable routines.
A quiet location away from busy roads and crowds would suit her best, with a secure garden where she can relax and decompress safely.
She needs patient, emotionally steady people who understand sensitive dogs and are happy to move slowly, respect boundaries and continue confidence-building work without pressure.
She can happily live with cats and potentially another calm dog.
💞 Mary is not a bad dog.
She is a sensitive dog trying very hard to feel safe in a world that overwhelms her.
With the right person — someone patient and kind— she will be the most loyal, loving companion imaginable. ❤️
