Ivy is now really beginning to struggle in kennels and needs an urgent foster/possible adoption offer.

At 18 months old she is still a baby and will need lots of reassurance and time to adjust and get to know her new people.

She is very loving and friendly and, being a young dog, has tons of energy and bounce. She needs a very calm home with a secure garden with people who have time to spend with her playing, bonding and, when settled, providing her with the daily long walks she needs.

Ivy is a Staffie-X and is the size of a Labrador.

She was happily living with another dog but would probably be best as the only dog, to give her a chance to chill after being in kennels.

She has also lived with children but, because she will initially be stressed and also need lots of attention, will be best in an adult only home.

Ivy had to be handed in due to her family losing their home.
