Sometimes, it takes some of our dogs a little longer to find their forever family.  That’s because they need a special family, one who will not only make them a part of their family but is willing to go the extra mile. They appreciate the best things in life take time and dedication. They will have patience & understanding to nurture, encourage and teach them to reach their full potential.  They will share a journey together that will bond them, they will learn to trust and love each other.  Einstein is one of those dogs, he has been overlooked so many times, although in a fabulous foster home, it is sadly just temporary.  So let’s make 2021 the year Einstein finds his forever family and he can finally go home. He has been waiting his whole life for this.

This is Einstein’ story … he was born at our shelter, Happy’s after his mum was thrown over our shelter wall heavily pregnant.  Luckily all her puppies survived. Sadly though he spent he spent his whole puppyhood at our shelter, until he travelled to the U.K. and went to one of our most experienced foster homes, where he has made great progress.  This is what his wonderful foster mum had to say:-

‘Einstein is 3 years old. He has come along way with us in his foster home. He has a big personality once he gets to know you. The outside world is a little scary for him but he has come leaps and bounds with dogs and people. He walks very well on lead and is muzzled as he can be snappy when scared. He needs a consistent firm but gentle hand to overcome his fears. He needs his handler to read the environment and manage triggers. He tends to need to be introduced to other people and dogs slowly so he can become comfortable with them. He is quite protective of the house and will bark when someone enters. Once comfortable with dogs he plays very well and enjoys the other dogs company. He definitely needs another fur sibling in the household for reassurance and company. He will look at his humans for encouragement and reassurance. Einstein is hypervigilant and cannot relax in situations where there are many people or dogs. He is unpredictable at times and for this reason it would not be safe to place him in a home with children. His new adopters will need to be able to provide a safe space for him in the event of having visitors especially if they are nervous of dogs. Einstien struggles if he senses you are nervous. Einstien is house trained, very loving once he knows you, loves to follow his human about, will cuddle for short periods but prefers to position himself where he can keep his human in sight.’

Einstein is a loyal and loving boy who enjoys the company of his people but can be left alone for short periods of time. He has made a huge amount of progress in understanding home life.  Einstein loves to play with the other dogs in the home and takes a lot of confidence from them, but he can be dog selective so he would need to meet any new canine housemates a few times.  Einstein can be very nervous of new people and visitors so his new home will need to have very few visitors and be willing to work where his fosterer left off, to continue his training plan.  We would expect his new adopters to need to visit him on multiple occasions to really get to know him before he goes home with them.  Einstein is not suitable to live with children.
