Kenza needs a home with no other pets or children.

Are you right for Kenza?

Kenza is looking for an adult only home with no visiting children who have experience with staffy breeds and dogs that can be a little worried about the world. Our Training team are on hand to give you the guidance to settle Kenza into her new home. This ideally would need to be a quiet environment with minimal visitors. She loves to play and has the odd zoomie so she will need a private garden in which she can do so! Kenza will need to be the only dog in the home, but she can socialise on her walks with other dogs to gain confidence in her surroundings and walk with other dogs. She has shown guarding tendencies around food and certain toys so owners will need to respect her boundaries. This sweet girl will need her new family to be around most the time as she doesn't enjoy being left alone for long periods to begin with. Any future owners will have to make multiple visits to the centre to build a relationship before going into her forever home. With some love, patience, and guidance this cuddle bug really will be the most lovable addition to a family!

Is Kenza right for you?

Kenza is a 2-year-old Staffie Cross who is cuddle monster, has a character that will make you smile every day. girl who can at times be quite worried about the world and new situations but, with the guidance of our Training and Behaviour team, she has come along leaps and bounds and is really starting to shine, however she is struggling with the stresses of being in kennels. She loves to play, train and explore but her favorite thing to do is have a cuddle! She loves her enrichment to keep her busy and loves to play searching games. Kenza is housetrained (although the odd accident may occur to start), she settles well and travels well in the car.
