More about Turtle

Meet Turtle!

This young little whipper snapper arrived to Battersea as a stray. We therefore have no information on her background and have supported her during her stay in becoming familiar with the big wide world.

Due to her vaccination status she has been limited in areas she can explore. However, she has been able to gradually dip her paws into new spaces, which has allowed her to slowly but surely gain confidence with her surroundings.

Turtle has shown to be worried initially when meeting people and other dogs, however, with a little reassurance and soft voice, she warms up super quickly to make new friends!

Turtle is likely to mature into a large dog and will therefore require owners who are confident and committed to her training to help her mature into a well rounded lady.

She is not house-trained and would highly benefit from her own private space. She is a clever cookie, and will offer some basic skills with training, so we know she is going to be a fun girl to do training with as she likes to learn!

Experience with the breed would be essential to ensure she has training which is most suited to her, and which will allow her to have a solid set of foundation skills in place. She could potentially live with sensible teenagers who understand to give her a little space whilst settling and could also live with another role model type or even a cat.

Turtle is a great character and she has stolen the hearts of a lot of staff members, and we know she will do the same in her new forever home!
