Good to Know

Ayr will help herself to unattended human food, apparently including spicy food, so keep an eye on plates and worktops.
She's genuinely independent and happy to occupy herself; she isn't a dog who needs constant contact to be content.

Ayr's Rescue Story

Ayr arrived with her siblings after they were dumped at a construction site in Hua Hin. They were physically healthy and mostly just needed time to learn to trust people. She has been at Baan Maa since April 2025.

About Ayr

Ayr strikes a lovely balance between affectionate and independent. She loves people and enjoys a cuddle, but she doesn't need to be glued to someone to be happy; if staff are busy, she's quite content to find somewhere quiet and wait until someone has time for her. When she does decide it's cuddle time, though, she properly melts into it. She's confident, curious, playful, food motivated and a little bit silly, with a habit of sleeping in high places, chairs, washing baskets, anywhere with a view, that has earned her the description 'cat-like'. She arrived with her siblings after being dumped at a construction site in Hua Hin and has been at Baan Maa since April 2025.

At Baan Maa since 10 March 2025

The Full Profile

Life with Ayr

Ayr wakes around 6.30am, starts with a toilet break and some field play, then a walk. She naps afterwards, seeks out cuddles and play later on, and waits reasonably patiently for dinner. Evenings usually involve more play in the field before she settles into a washing basket or chair for the night, and yes, she does manage to climb into baskets with surprisingly high sides.

People

Ayr is fine with men, women, teenagers and children, and immediately friendly with strangers and visitors. She enjoys cuddles, on her own terms, and handling is easy.

Other Animals

Ayr is good with other dogs, large or small, male or female, though a very overbearing large dog can intimidate her. She may bark a little at buffalo but otherwise shows no real concern around livestock, and likes chasing squirrels without seeming especially determined to catch one. She's untested with cats, and shows no resource guarding, except of unattended human food, which she will absolutely help herself to.

Training

Ayr is toilet, lead and crate trained, travels well in the car, and knows wait, sit and come, with recall good most of the time. Her food manners are good, though 'wait' can turn a bit jumpy if she's kept waiting too long. She avoids busy roads and isn't keen on fireworks, finding herself a safe spot when they start.

Dogs moving into a new home often regress a little at first, even on things they'd already learned. That's normal, not a step backwards - a bit of patience and the same consistent routine soon has them back on track.

Health

Ayr is healthy, spayed and vaccinated, with no previous injuries, no medication, no known allergies, no mobility issues and no known ongoing needs.

Ideal Home

Ayr would suit an apartment with adequate walks and toilet opportunities, or a house; a garden would be enjoyed but isn't essential. She's an excellent candidate for a first-time owner, good with children, could live with another dog, and would suit retired owners, active families or someone working from home.

Might not be the best match if...

Avoid pairing her with a large, dominant or overbearing dog, who could intimidate her.

Fun Fact

Ayr seems genuinely convinced she is part cat. She sleeps in washing baskets with surprisingly high sides and has a heart-shaped patch on her body to match the personality.

Perfect Day

A toilet break and some field play first thing, a proper walk, a long nap somewhere elevated, an afternoon of cuddles on her own terms, and dinner eaten with as much patience as she can muster, which is a fair amount.
