Support and Health

How much training will I need?

Needs ongoing support

Can I be left alone?

Potentially, once settled

Due to Koala coming to us as a stray, we do not know if she has ever been in a home environment. She has found kennel life quite stressful so she’s looking for owners who are at home most of the time. She will need plenty of time to settle in before her home alone time can be built up gradually.

Do I have any medical conditions?

History of

This pet has medical concerns, namely gait abnormality which is improving with time, and stress related behaviour that will require consideration before this pet is rehomed. Our rehoming team will be able to give you further information if you apply to rehome this pet and you are a successful match. We would also advise that any medical concern, be that historic or ongoing, is discussed with your own vet prior to any book out appointment.

Who I can live with

Can I live with dogs?

No

Can I live with cats?

No

Can I live with small pets?

No

Additional information

Koala does react at other dogs and wildlife. She has come on leaps and bounds with her training but she does not want to share her space with other animals. She will need quiet walking routes where she can continue her training.

Family and environment

What kind of family am I looking for?

Koala does get overstimulated in certain situations so we would advise that she lives with adults only who will be able to understand and react appropriately when she feels overwhelmed.

What type of environment would suit me?

It is important that Koala has her own safe and secure garden where she can run around and enjoy her time. It will also aid in training. Fencing must be 6ft+ with no neighbouring dogs.
