Our beautiful Pink, now known as Crumble in her foster home, is quite simply one of the sweetest, most loving and gentle girls you could ever meet.

Despite everything she has been through, Pink has the kindest nature. All she really asks for is cuddles, love and somewhere she can finally feel safe. In the short time she has been in foster, her confidence has grown beautifully and her cheeky little personality is beginning to shine through.

She loves being around her people, but she’s equally happy to take herself off to her beanbag in the bedroom when she fancies a little peace and quiet. Pink is fully house trained and has been left comfortably for around 2½–3 hours. She also travels brilliantly in the car, simply settling down and going to sleep. She will happily stop and watch dogs passing, gently approach to say hello when appropriate, and has walked nicely alongside other dogs. So far, she has also shown no reaction towards cats, birds or sheep. She is an absolute sweetheart when it comes to being handled too. She is good being groomed ( bonus as Pink is a long coat ) having her nails clipped and visiting the vets, and her beautiful coat is now beginning to grow back.

Pink enjoys her food, although she prefers it on the softer side as she can struggle with harder food. Due to muscle wastage in her legs, her exercise is currently being kept gentle and manageable. She is enjoying walks of up to around 30 minutes twice a day, taking plenty of time to sniff and explore. She walks beautifully on the lead and will even occasionally break into the cutest little trot.

Her front paw pads have become sore on harder surfaces, so her foster family currently uses protective footwear when needed to keep her comfortable. Pink really has been an absolute joy in foster. She is a gentle soul who deserves a family who will adore her, respect her softer nature and give her the time she needs to adapt to new situations at her own pace.

For the right family, she is going to be the most wonderful addition. Whoever gets to call this beautiful girl theirs will be incredibly lucky.

All 8 Below dogs are neutered (if of an appropriate age) microchipped, up to date with parasite treatment, have lifetime support and backup and 5 weeks free insurance plus a lovely 8B collar and lead.
