Shaila

Meet Shaila our beautiful Central Asian Shepherd mix.Shaila arrived at Battersea through no fault of her own. She has a lovely history in her prior home, her previous owners noting how she was a well behaved and affectionate girl who loved to follow her owners around.Onsite we have seen the same lovely girl although she does have a little bit of a sensitive soul! Shaila has all the characteristics you would expect from a guarding breed and can be reactive to both people and dogs. However, under this exterior is a gentle and affectionate girl who loves her known people and will often be leaning into them, wanting a big fuss. Shaila is at times worried of other dogs but can greet friendly, often hiding her nerves by diffusing with play. She would prefer to be the only dog in the home with new owners who are confident in socialising her in neutral spaces.Shaila is looking for experienced owners who have a good understanding of guarding breeds, but more importantly have owned or researched...
