Description
This soulful softie is Ivy, she came into our care in January 2024, over 6 months ago! We pulled Ivy from stray kennels where her time with them was up and she was scheduled to lose her short life solely due to overcrowding of dogs in pounds. Sadly her ears have been cropped and tail docked which brings with it a stigma, although doesn’t stop her being an absolute CUTIEEE.
Ivy is a guarding breed meaning she has a fierce look and likes to put on her big girl bark for strangers, however she’s actually a sweetheart once introduced. Ivy’s favourite thing in the whole wide world is snuggles, she wants to clamber her 35kg of muscle into your lap for squishy snuggles 24/7.
A firm favourite with all our staff and volunteers, Ivy is just an incredible character, she’s goofy, and as she’s found her feet with us has become more playful and gets the zoomies often. She’s a sensible girl who is non destructive and no bother at all when hanging out in our office, she’s a great companion.
Ivy walks very nicely on a loose lead after we introduced positive reinforcement methods to her, however she is reactive to other dogs, and due to her size we will require an adopter that’s experienced in large/guarding breeds and is willing to work with her to manage this behaviour.
