About Gypsy
- Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Cross
- Female
- Good with children
- 2 months
- Henderson Animal Shelter
Personality:
Gypsy is a sweet-natured girl who loves being around people and constantly seeks out attention and affection. She thrives on human interaction and enjoys being close to those around her. Gypsy will benefit from confidence-building and gentle encouragement to help her feel more comfortable in new environments. As she can startle easily, a calm and patient approach will help her grow into a more confident companion.
Tamariki – Best suited to older children who can respect her need for a calm environment.
Cats – To be assessed.
Kūri – To be assessed. Ongoing socialisation recommended.
Stock/poultry – Good
Ideal home:
Gypsy would thrive in a quiet, patient home where she can build confidence at her own pace. A family who can provide plenty of positive reinforcement, gentle encouragement and one-on-one attention will help her feel safe and secure. Due to her tendency to startle easily, a calm environment with minimal noise and activity would be ideal.
If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate companion who loves being around people and will reward your patience with plenty of love, Gypsy could be the perfect addition to your home.
