About Wren

At the beginning of May, our Head of Adoptions, Eve, was alerted to a family of dogs living on a disused piece of farmland in the middle of nowhere. The dogs had been reported to have been terrified, but one by one she managed to lure the puppies to safety. As soon as the pups saw her approaching, they all ran to their safe places.

Scout had dug a burrow in a huge dried out pile of animal manure, which is probably where she raised the pups, and Olive and Clover disappeared into the hole. Wren, Minnow and Poppy backed themselves into a corner and lay flat among the long grass. After two hours, one by one, they were safely in the back of Eve’s car.

All of the puppies were frozen with fear when they were first rescued. Their interactions with humans had probably been extremely limited and it’s likely they’d never really been handled or up close to them before. It took a while before the pups would warm to anyone at the shelter and they watched their mum closely to figure out how they should behave. They were then integrated with other more confident puppies who helped boost their socialisation skills and they have made good progress since then.

Wren is a sweetheart. She’s one of the more confident pups and she spends a lot of time playing with Olive and Minnow in particular. She is very clever and learns by observing. She won’t always be the first in line, but you can see she’s watching, figuring things out. She loves being thrown treats and chasing after them, or scatter feeding, and she’s also partial to nibbling her sister’s feet to get them to play with her! She has the most beautiful coat and feathery ears, and is always the one that people gravitate towards when they visit the shelter because of how she looks, but her lovely personality is honestly just as gorgeous.

Wren is still a little bit hand shy and takes time to warm to strangers. As she becomes more settled, she gets cheekier and goofier, and her personality is just going to come out more and more once she feels secure in a new home. She would be best suited to a semi-rural home away from any busy areas, and with a family who can take things slowly and gently. She has never known a life without other dogs, and because the puppies had such a rough start in life we do think that she would do better in a home with another resident dog to learn from and seek reassurance from.
