Is my dog suffering from separation anxiety?
Separation Anxiety can be best described as a group of behaviours that indicate a dog is in distress when left alone, so here are what those typical behaviours may look like.
This sprightly Bichon Frise lived in a busy household where, sadly, his owners found it increasingly difficult to find time for him.
Thousands of pets come to Woodgreen every year all in need of love, support and a new forever home. We rely on your donations to keep our doors open.
The bouncy young chap loves getting out and exploring so, as you can imagine, he needed a lot of attention – something that his owners weren’t able to give him. So they made the decision to rehome him.
Bruce was really worried when he first came in. He used to live with another dog, he was used to a busy house with lots of kids, lots of people. When he came to Woodgreen he was completely on his own. He was laying in his bed, not really eating, quite miserable.
Bruce went to live with a woman who had recently lost her husband. So she was very lonely and didn’t have much of a routine. She really wanted a reason to get up, get him out for walks and things. He’s going to love that, because he wants to be a little prince! We’re delighted to have found him a new home, where he’s getting on with his new owner like a dream!
