You can’t help falling in love with delightful Dilly who is looking for a home with lots of time and love to give. Meantime, she is being looked after by North East Rescue and she will make a lovely, little companion to her lucky new owner.
Dilly is a Patterdale Terrier and is 12 years old. She has the most adorable character and is a true Patterdale through and through. She’s full of fun and mischief. A loving and affectionate girl that likes to be close to her humans. Dilly is a little love that deserves the world.
Dilly has 2 settings: she is either sleeping her days away or she’s out on a walk zooming and bouncing about like a puppy/spring lamb. In true terrier bitch form, she can be a feisty little madam with other dogs. Some dogs she passes fine on walks, others she feels the need to give a good telling off. As she is hit and miss with other dogs, she does need to remain on lead unless in a private secure area.
Dilly’s ideal home would be with people who are home more often than not with lots of time for fuss and attention. She is the most lovely little companion and is a little joy to have about. An active retired home would be ideal where there are no pets or young children (12+ years old). Please note Dilly’s house-training isn’t great and does require work.
A decent garden is a must for Dilly to play, potter and sunbathe. She really enjoys a walk out each day and is good on the lead. She also travels well. Then she likes to come home and cuddle up on her humans lap and snooze. She feels safe and content when close to her humans. Dilly is not keen on being left and does require a home with someone around most of the time.
Healthwise, Dilly is great for her age. Her only issue is with chronic sore ears. She will need treatment (steroid drops from the vet) if they ever flare up. Her ears do need to be monitored moving forwards.
A home-check, donation and rescue back-up apply. The Rescue would consider reducing their donation if it helps to get her into a loving home. They would be willing to cover the cost of any ear treatment ongoing for any Northumberland home that could access their Vet.
