Orietta’s journey has been a challenging one, but her gentle spirit has shone through every step of the way. She was rescued from a home in heartbreaking conditions, where her elderly owner, struggling with mental health difficulties, could no longer provide proper care. Though never intentionally mistreated, Orietta went without the love, attention, and care she deserved. Now safe with us, she is finally experiencing stability, kindness, and the affection she has always longed for.This beautiful girl has blossomed remarkably since her arrival. Orietta is always wagging her tail and loves spending time with people she trusts. She happily allows fuss, brushing, baths, and even ear cleaning, a true angel who has embraced the love and care she has been given. On the lead, she walks beautifully and now really enjoys getting out for walks and little adventures and is a favourite of many volunteers!Orietta is a big foodie, and her love of treats, especially squeezy cheese, has been key in building her trust and confidence. While she may still be wary of new people at first and may bark when someone enters her kennel, a calm approach and a little patience quickly reassure her that there is nothing to fear. Once she feels comfortable, her wonderfully goofy and affectionate personality really shines through, bringing smiles to everyone who spends time with her.Orietta spent time in a home recently and we were completely over the moon for her, believing her time in kennels had finally come to an end. Unfortunately, she turned out to be a little too friendly and enthusiastic with the resident dog, which sadly meant she had to return to our care. Because of this, Orietta is now looking for a home where she can be the only dog. That said, she absolutely loves other dogs and really enjoys playing with them, so she would still benefit from regular doggy playdates with well-matched friends.She will thrive in a calm, quiet home where she can settle in at her own pace. Orietta could live with older, dog-savvy teenagers aged 16 and over who understand that she will need a gentle introduction to home life and her own space to relax. She would benefit from adopters who have experience with large breed dogs. Having never truly settled into home life before, she will need patient adopters to guide her as she learns routines and skills such as house training. Due to her size, a secure garden with high fencing is essential.Orietta arrived underweight, with missing teeth, scabs, ear infections, cysts, and some unsteadiness when walking, but she has made incredible progress. Her strength and confidence continue to grow each day, and she is now a joyful, affectionate, and trusting companion. She is currently being treated for a persistent ear infection.Orietta has now spent quite some time at the rescue. While we know some dogs take longer than others to find their forever homes, it has been especially difficult knowing that all 34 of the dogs that came in with her have now been adopted, and Orietta is still waiting. Everyone here absolutely adores her. She is a total goofball with a beautiful personality and an endless amount of love to give.This special girl is looking for a home just as extraordinary as she is, a calm, loving space where she can continue to blossom and finally feel completely safe, cherished, and part of a family. Orietta is a true sweetheart, and the joy of seeing her thrive in her forever home will be immeasurable. Whoever gives Orietta her chance will be incredibly lucky to have her.
