Dax originally came in to Battersea in 2001 as a stray, she was rehomed but sadly returned in 2007 as her owners were unable to leave her alone. Poor Dax was then rehomed again but returned within two weeks as her new owners could not leave her on her own! Dax is clingy and does suffer from seperation anxiety, due to this she will need experienced and understanding new owners who are at home the majority of the time.

Ideally Dax is looking for owners who have dealt with similar anxiety problems or rescue dogs before, unfortunately she is not suitable for first time dog owners. At this moment in time Dax will bark when left and can be destructive, this is due to anxiety and owners must be prepared for this and to follow advice for prevention. 

Dax does have many postitives and will make a loving addition, she loves people and bonds quickly to her family. In her previous homes Dax was housetrained, travelled well in a car, was good with visiting children and liked cats, she could possibly live with cats again. Unfortunately Dax cannot live with young children, teenagers would could be considered that can help with training programmes.

Dax is social with other dogs but cannot live with, she can become very jealous over her people and belongings around other dogs. Dax may be seven but still has plenty of energy and a Terrier zest for life so will need active owners to keep up and provide the stimulation needed! Dax is a super little lady and a true rescue dog needing dedication and direction, she will be a rewarding dog to have in your life.

If you feel you can offer this sweet little dog a home please contact the rehoming team at Old Windsor on 01784 494443 or come in to one of our centres for a registration interview.
