Since coming to us, Blossom has received all the veterinary care, love, and attention she truly deserved, and she is making wonderful progress on her road to recovery.Despite everything she has been through, Blossom remains an incredibly affectionate and loving girl. She already knows “sit” and “paw,” and her favourite thing is curling up beside you for cuddles and companionship.Blossom walks absolutely beautifully on the lead and takes traffic, busy environments, and other distractions in her stride. She has a calm and gentle nature, and we believe she would thrive in a quiet, understanding home where she can continue to settle in at her own pace.Blossom could potentially live with another calm dog of a similar temperament following successful introductions. She may also be able to live with older, sensible children who can respect her need for a peaceful environment while she settles into her forever home.After all she has been through, Blossom deserves nothing more than a safe, loving home where she can finally enjoy the comfort and kindness she has always deserved.
