Skoda is a 6month old mixed breed girl who is still waiting for her forever home. We thought we had found Skoda her forever home but unfortunately those people never turned up for her viewing. But it gave us a chance to learn even more about Skoda and hopefully her next application will be her forever one.

Skoda is just the sweetest girl but we feel that she would prefer a home with another older, wiser dog that can show her the ropes, engage in some play and be Skoda's best friend. Skoda is very sociable with dogs and, once she gets to know a person, she is just the most affectionate girl.

We feel that a home without young children would suits Skoda best as she as can still be a little unsure of sudden or fast movements so teenagers and over would be better so she can gain confidence.

Skoda will bring a lot of joy, fun and laughter to her forever home where she can be loved unconditionally, just as she deserves. She is truly a fab little girl.

**October 10th**

Two 4 month old pups arrived up our driveway in the boot of a car as "dumped puppies" despite the fact that we were already overwhelmed with adult dogs and 3 different litters of abandoned sick puppies. These two pups were terrified and showed all the signs of having little handling or socialisation. Pups like these are often referred to as "shed dogs" or "back yard dogs". Just starting to grow out of that first "cute" puppy stage and so are harder to sell or move on for whoever they really did belong too.

We named them Passat and Skoda and we began slowly to do our very best to transform them into happy, socialised, confident pups. This sort of transformation doesn't happen overnight. It takes dedication, work, patience, love and a lot of time from our kennel team, from just sitting in the kennel to slowly pushing on with lead training, touch, road work and encountering new things. Every spare ten mins in a working day is given as extra time to pups or adult dogs.

Passat and Skoda are a long way from the two terrified, drooling pups that arrived into our care. They are loving their walks out and about, they have made new friends and have even started learning some basic commands. This is not bad for babies who trembled and shook at the sight of us just under a month ago.

Skoda is ready for her forever home. She is approximately 5 months old, probably collie x with a smaller breed (terrier maybe). Skoda can still be a little shy at first but soon forgets her shyness.

She needs a home where there is someone home all day due to her young age. She can live with another friendly, patient dog pending a successful meet and greet and there's no reason why they cannot live with respectful children, pending a successful meet and greet.
