History and a Note from the Foster: Ichika was a breeder release rescued in July 2024. She arrived completely shut down. She wouldn’t move, look at us, eat, drink or even go potty for the first week. She has come such a long way since then.
Ichika was adopted by a very nice couple in August 2024. She quickly bonded with the wife but became very fearful of her husband and ultimately returned to rescue.
Ichika has been with us, family of four, while in rescue. She has bonded with myself and my 11-year-old son. For some reason, she does not care for my 15-year-old daughter and only tolerates my husband. We would all love to see her find her forever home she can be at ease with everyone.
You’ll have to be extremely patient with her but once she trusts you, she is so sweet and so silly.
She loves her walks and is perfect on her leash! I swear she looks back at me with a smile on her walks. She is getting braver around new dogs and humans. She also loves to zoom around the yard and chase the other dogs. She loves to lay in grass or on the steps to observe everything and take naps. A bigger fenced in yard would be best for Ichika.
She likes her kennel and will often go there to rest. She keeps it clean. She is mostly potty trained, she does not give any queues when she needs to go. We try to go out with her to make sure she pees every couple of hours when she is not in her kennel and that seems to work well for her.
She likes to hoard toys but is not aggressive about it. She will chew other items if left out or if she is unattended. Computer chargers, hats and mittens have been a couple of her favorite items.
Ichika will do best in a quiet home with one other confident dog. One or two people with not too many visitors. She will need a fenced in yard and daily walks with resident dogs to help build her confidence.
She will need time to decompress and your willingness to go very slow with her. She will let you know when she is ready. Coco’s Heart has a great process of how to work with timid dogs. It’s a slow process but is so rewarding once she trusts and bonds with you.
