'An absolute star': Rescue dog seeks loving home in Sussex
A rescue dog from Greece, who has found herself in the care of Sussex charity, is looking for a loving home.
Two-year-old crossbreed Purdey originally travelled to the UK from Greece.
She is now in the care of Worthing-based charity Wadars and is searching for a new family who can help her build confidence.
Her adoption profile reads: “Indoors, Purdey is an absolute star. She is very well-mannered, obedient, and calm.
"She’s fully house trained, enjoys relaxing with her people, and is comfortable being left alone for a couple of hours.
“Outside, Purdey is still building her confidence and manners. After some practice she will nicely walk on the lead.
"However, like many dogs, she can get excited if she spots cats or squirrels and may try to chase them.
"She’s generally happy to walk past other dogs, although she may occasionally react if she feels unsure or threatened.”
The charity said she ‘has already been making great progress’.
Purdey needs a home without any other pets.
Wadars said she may be able to live with teenagers, but she isn’t used to living with young children.
Her profile continues: “Purdey is a loving, loyal companion, who will thrive with someone willing to continue her outdoor training and support her as she learns.
"In the right home, she will make a wonderful and devoted family member.”
