AQUILA was an owner surrender to the rescue and was the result of two adult dogs being put together when neither were fixed. She’s had her first 2 sets of puppy vaccines including rabies, microchipped and been deemed a healthy girl by her vet. Her spay us booked for the end of the month and will be performed before she leaves the rescue. Her mum was a mix of Great Dane/Mastiff/Lab and dad was a Rottie so judging from those breeds we can almost guarantee she’s gong to be an XL adult. She’s a shy, sweet girl who’s very gentle and loving and is looking for an active but quiet hone. 
AQUILA is crate trained and sleeps quietly in it at night and will also nap in it during the day. She’s almost housetrained and does know to do her business outside but the odd time forgets to ask so it’s still a work in progress. She’s fostered with other dogs but is still a bit shy around them and likes dogs to be calm around her so wouldn’t suit being with a high energy dog. She loves to play with all sorts of toys especially chewy ones and bones. 
AQUILA’s being fostered with our puppy trainer so she’s now off to a good start with puppy training. This training will need to be continued by her adopter as it’s essential she build on the foundation that she already has. Due to her start in life she is scared of the world. Her trainer has been focused on confidence building and appropriate socialization. She’s doing very well and will continue to make great strides with an owner who will continue spending time working with her. She needs socialization at a distance and a gentle, encouraging parenting style. She’s very food motivated and likes to work and learn new things in a safe environment. 

AQUILA’s leash walking is a work in progress as she’s very nervous but that’s being worked on daily. A fenced yard is required for her as she loves to run around and play. She is bossy so wouldn’t do well with an equally bossy dog. She hasn’t been cat tested but if the cat is dog savvy a slow, monitored introduction would be required. She’s a bit bitey in her play and even at cuddle time so we are recommending children be aged 10 plus. 
Puppies are cute and fun but also require a lot of work, patience and dedication to training. We need her adopter to 100% be in agreement to continue with her training.
