When a dog’s behaviour becomes too difficult to manage

Life at home became increasingly difficult for Lola Bear and her family. Unfamiliar people, visitors and close encounters could leave her feeling worried. At times, those feelings became too much for her to manage, and her family faced the incredibly difficult decision that they could no longer give her the support she needed.  

When dogs like Lola Bear can no longer stay with their families due to behavioural reasons, your gift today could help make sure there is still somewhere safe for them to turn.

Somewhere they can be understood, and where experienced behaviour teams can help them build confidence and learn new ways to cope.

For Lola Bear, that support is already making a difference.

And underneath those behavioural struggles is the Lola Bear her carers know so well. She loves a fuss once she trusts you, enjoys sitting quietly beside her handlers and greets her favourite people with a full-body wag.

But Lola Bear’s journey isn’t over yet. 

She has been waiting more than 1,300 days to find the right home, with people who can understand her needs and give her the patience, consistency and space she needs to continue building her confidence. 

A gift today could help make sure dogs like Lola Bear have somewhere safe to be, with dedicated carers and behaviour teams who understand their needs and can provide the specialist care they need.

Your donation could help dogs like Lola Bear find safety, understanding and the specialist support they need when they have nowhere else to turn. 

With your kindness, we can be there for dogs like Lola Bear for as long as it takes.

Please help make that possible today. 

Donations will go towards all areas of Dogs Trust's work and help care for dogs where the need is greatest.
