This handsome boy is Danny! He has come such a long way since arriving in our care.  When he first came into us, he was extremely scared, timid and very vocal.  Everything was new and overwhelming for him, as he was found dumped in a cage with 2 other dogs it is understandable why he was so terrified.  With time, patience and gentle encouragement he has slowly started to gain confidence.  One of his biggest achievements was bravely going to the vets for his Vaccination – something that would have been unthinkable when he first arrived.  Once he gets to know you, he is a sweet and friendly boy who enjoys being around people he trusts.  Like many Spitz breeds, he can still be vocal when he feels unsure or uncertain, so his new adopter will need to understand that barking is his way of communicating when he is unsure.  He isn’t particularly interested in toys, but he does know his basic commands and is eager to continue learning with positive reinforcement.  He will benefit from a calm, understanding and experienced home that can continue building his confidence at his own pace.  His ideal home will be with patient adopters who are willing to let him settle in and allow his lovely personality to shine through. Watching him grow in confidence has been incredibly rewarding.

He has socialised well with other dogs so we feel he could potentially live with another calm dog of similar size following a successful meet and greet.

We are unsure how he would react around cats.

As Danny came into the home as a stray we have no previous history on him and as he can still be a little nervous and unsure, we would like any children in the home to be 16+ years.

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