[PLEASE READ THE FULL PROFILE HERE]
Belle was given away by her ex-owner who no longer wants her. She was tied up on short leash 24/7 and was starved. She developed resource guarding and is defensive when it comes to her food and bed, most likely due to the fact that she's an active dog but was tied up 24/7 and neglected.

She has been toilet trained (on newspaper indoor and on grass outdoor). She barks at strangers at the door or when she hears other dogs barking, and is friendly with small dogs and a bit fearful of large dogs. She takes a while to trust a new human being and snaps if she feels threatened. Hence, it is best if she goes to a home without young children.

She was adopted once but returned after 3 weeks as she has bitten 3 of them in the family (puncture and bleeding). Once it requires 3 stitches.

Before she was adopted, we managed to gain her trust in 4 weeks, she is then very affectionate. She is not destructive either and sleeps with us on the bed. Are you patient enough to slowly gain her trust? Are you and your whole family willing to bear with it if she bites in the initial weeks? She is now very affectionate, sweet and trusting - BUT, this takes commitment and patience. Can your family commit?

Belle is 2 year's old and she has been spayed. She has done complete blood count, e canis test, heartworm test and she is healthy although slightly underweight. She has been vaccinated, dewormed and has taken Heartgard on March 23 and applied Revolution on May 7.

She is looking for a good home, preferably an active person who loves outdoor activities and can bring her along. Belle requires lots of mental and physical exercises. This will keep her needs met and she will be less frustrated, as a result. She has her behavior assessment report prepared by a professional trainer as well and this can be shared with future adopter.

If you are keen to adopt her, kindly send us a message to answer the questions below. Please note that request for PM and messages which do not answer all questions will be completely ignored.

1. Describe the environment you are willing to provide her with
2. Is your whole family supportive of the adoption? Have they agreed to adopt a dog which could possibly bite in initial weeks? Ask your family - if they are bitten till bleeding, will they be willing to be patient and gain her trust?
3. How much time can you spend with her daily?
4. Are you agreeable to home visit and sending updates after adoption?

Thank you for choosing to adopt!
