This is Belle who has recently arrived after being rescued from a sad shelter in Crete. Belle is starting her new life in her UK foster home.
​
She is a happy, playful, girl who loves to cuddles. She fully vaccinated and microchipped and neutered. Clean indoors and a sweet sociable girl.

Belle can be left alone, she would prefer to live with another dog. Belle walks lovely on the lead, she loves children, cats , other dogs and humans.
​
Although she has developed well in her foster home, she still has a lot to learn, so her new family will need to be prepared for the consistent work of introducing a dog to domestic life in the UK - basic training, walking on and off lead, getting used to noises and living in a family home.
​
The decision to adopt a dog should not be taken lightly - we have had dogs returned as people have not been fully prepared for the consistent work that can come. If you invest time and energy into the advice we give you, Ava will adapt and become well a rounded dog. But please do not underestimate this can mean a few weeks of helping her settling into a new routine.
