Support and Health
How much training will I need?
Can I be left alone?
Skittles has been left home alone previously but this hasn’t been for awhile.
She will need a settling in period when she goes to her new home and any home alone training worked on and has the potential to be left for half a day.
Do I have any medical conditions?
Skittles has a few medical conditions, namely an ear infection that she’s currently on treatment for, a mass which has been removed and she requires a dental, 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 them and you are a successful match.
We would also advise that any medical conditions, be that historic or ongoing, are discussed with your own vet prior to taking them home.
Due to the nature of the medical condition, a vet call with one of our onsite vets will be required before the pet goes home.

What kind of family am I looking for?

She’s an affectionate girl who likes a cuddle and getting all the fuss she can.
