More about Miriam

Miriam is a gentle, friendly girl with both people and other dogs, but she is very insecure and easily overwhelmed by the outside world. When she first arrived, she was too frightened to walk and had to be carried everywhere. Although she is making progress, she still finds many every day situations worrying.

When Miriam feels under pressure, she tends to shut down, slow right down, and become submissive rather than react. She will need a patient and understanding home, willing to give her the time and reassurance she needs to help build her confidence at her own pace.

Despite her worries, Miriam is incredibly endearing and has a very affectionate nature, once she feels safe. She absolutely loves soft toys and delights in bouncing after them, showing a playful and happy side that is impossible not to adore.

Miriam was found another dog, Muriel, and they have a very close bond, so could be rehomed together, however if not living with Muriel, Miriam must live with another dog to help with her confidence. If rehomed together, they could also join other dogs in their new home as long as it was a good match.
