Koshi is a gorgeous older girl, with a beautiful face and smile, who spent many years with 3 other dogs in a really sad pound in Romania, she never had much happiness and she thinks that kennel life is just the best after having lived a harsh life in all temperatures in a rusty cage in Transylvania. When she is finally adopted, she will not believe her luck!
She is however not a straight forward girlie, she has some insecurities and it takes time for her to accept new people in her circle of trust. She can nip or bite people’s legs if a stranger comes over into her personal space without proper introduction. She therefore needs to be rehomed in an environment with few strangers to deal with, perhaps somewhere more rural. Once she is your friend she is adorable, really loving and affectionate but at the moment she is displaying these traits. She is a huge favourite among the team at the kennels and has her bedroom made up just like she likes it by our kennel manager, with all her toys nicely lined up on her bed!

Koshi is looking for a very
loving family, able to visit her a few times so she can be comfortable with them, and who will give an older dog the life she deserves, take her on nice walks that she can cope with and show her a good time.

Koshi is house clean, she has spent time in foster placements, a joy to have around and most definitely requires cuddles!
Koshi is on metacam which is a very common anti-inflammatory, for her arthritic joints, she walks as well as she can, but her mobility will not enable her to climb mountains. She will do her best to go on walks though and will play with other dogs like a little puppy! And if no one wants to play not to worry she will entertain herself with toys in between naps!
Her family will need to keep an eye on her weight, she absolutely needs to remain lean, and as a team we are still tweaking things as she is very very good at begging and we all get taken in!

Koshi had a UK vet check, full blood profile which came back fine and had a dental scale and polish.

IDEAL HOME:
A committed experienced family with a quiet lifestyle, few visitors and a rural location. Koshi needs an adult only home, can live with other dogs, she loves them, no kitties to be on the safe side.
Lots of love, cuddles, a comfy bed and plenty of toys please!

Note:
All our dogs go on home trial for two weeks before an adoption. We offer post adoption support and access to a behaviourist and trainer for the life of our dogs.
