Foxy is a 1-2 year old German Spitz Cross who came into Battersea back in April 2005. Foxy loves attention, and displays a lot of attention seeking behaviours, often expressed vocally. She also is well established at spinning to get a reaction from people. Most people find this type of behaviour funny or cute but actually it is a cause of anxiety and desperation for attention, which she has resorted to through constant reinforcement from her previous owners. Foxy is very undersocialised with other dogs, and in most cases doesn't know how to react. She ideally needs calm friendly dogs to be socialised with, but not to live with, as she may not be able to cope with the interaction 24 hours a day. Foxy is looking for:  

• Calm quiet, mature adult house-hold, who won't spoil her or reinforce any of her negative behaviours.


• No children or visiting children


• Experience of dealing with similar problems would be an advantage.


• Not suitable for cats

Ok in a small home but must have a garden If you feel that you can offer Foxy the right type of home then please contact the Behaviour Unit on 020 7627 7884 or email at [email protected] and quote her reference number 2005/01637.
