Meet our handsome boy Scooby, who is slowly learning that the world isn’t such a scary place after all.  When he first arrived with us, he was extremely timid and unsure around people. Since, then he has made lovely progress in the care of our kennel staff.  He will now happily take treats from familiar people and is beginning to enjoy gentle strokes and attention once he feels comfortable.  One thing that brings out his personality is playtime – he absolutely loves his toys.  Because of his nervous nature, he will need patient adopters who are willing to give him the time he needs to build trust.  Multiple meet and greets will be required before any adoption can take place so he can get to know his new family at his own pace.  He gains a lot of confidence from other dogs, so we feel he would thrive in a home with a calm and friendly resident dog who can help show him the ropes and continue building his confidence. He will need an experienced owner that has previously had very timid dogs.  With time, understanding and patience, this sweet boy has so much potential to blossom into a loyal and loving companion.  Scooby will need a private secure garden.

As Scooby came into the home as a stray, we have no previous history on him and as he is extremely timid we would prefer any children/visiting children in the home to be 16+ years.

We are unsure how Scooby would react around cats.

If you have a holiday booked in the next 3 months please wait until you return to apply for a dog.
