Whisper

.🐾 Adoption Profile: Whisper
Name: Whisper
Age: Approximately 4–5 years
Status: Adult female dog
From:China. Foster location: Cheshire

🏡 Foster Home
Whisper is currently being fostered in Cheshire in a busy but calm home with three dogs and two cats.
She settled extremely well from day one, quickly making herself at home and choosing the sofa as her favourite resting spot.

💕 Personality & Temperament
Whisper is a sweet, affectionate little dog who loves human company and cuddles. She enjoys sitting on laps, being stroked, and relaxing with her people. She appears to have a slight preference for men but is friendly and loving with everyone she meets.
She is generally calm and settled in the home but can be vocal, especially if someone comes to the door or when other dogs bark. She has shown no signs of aggression at any time.

🐕 Behaviour with Other Dogs
• Lives happily with other dogs
• Enjoys playing with her foster dog friend, Chip
• Eats alongside other dogs with supervision and no issues
On walks, Whisper may bark and growl at unfamiliar dogs initially, but once introductions are made she is fine.

🐈 Cats
Whisper has been introduced to cats. While she is not aggressive, she barks and chases persistently, so she would be best suited to a home without cats.

🚶‍♀️ Exercise & Mobility
Whisper cannot walk far due to an ongoing leg issue, which causes her leg to give way after short distances.
• Walks nicely on a harness and lead
• Enjoys short walks (around 10–15 minutes maximum)
• Will need to be carried or use a dog pram for longer outings
• Much happier returning home for sofa time
Potential adopters must fully understand and commit to her limited mobility needs.

🛋️ Home Life & Routine
• Sleeps on the sofa with another dog (uses small steps)
• Goes to bed around 9pm
• Toilets in the garden before bed
• Snores softly while sleeping
She is housetraining well and is learning to go to the back door when she needs the toilet. She will toilet overnight if necessary.

🍽️ Feeding
• Eats well
• Fed alongside other dogs without issues
• Prefers ceramic bowls (does not like metal bowls)

🧸 Toys & Play
• Enjoys toys and playing with other dogs
• Gives toys up easily

🪮 Grooming & Handling
• Loves being brushed
• Calm and relaxed during clipping and bathing
• No issues with grooming tools or handling
• Will need regular professional grooming

🎽 Harness, Travel & Noises
• Gets very excited when her harness comes out
• Travels well in a dog car seat
• Not bothered by household noises (hoover, washing machine, etc.)

⏰ Time Alone
Whisper has been left for up to 4 hours, but always with other dogs.
If rehomed as an only dog, this would need to be built up gradually.
She could live as an only dog if someone is home most of the day.

👨‍👩‍👧 Children
Whisper has met a dog-savvy 15-year-old with no issues.
She would be suitable for a home with sensible children aged 12+.

🌟 Summary
Whisper is a loving, affectionate, and gentle little dog who thrives in a calm, caring home. She enjoys companionship, cuddles, short walks, and lots of sofa time. Her mobility limitations mean she needs an understanding adopter who can adapt to her needs.

🩺 Health & Adoption Info
Whisper is microchipped, vaccinated, spayed, and has had all necessary health checks including a negative Brucella Canis test (UK APHA Lab) and 4DX snap test.
