This handsome boy is Eric!! He is looking for a patient, loving home where he can continue to grow in confidence.  He can be a little nervous when meeting new people, but once he realises he’s safe, his sweet and affectionate nature shines through.  He loves a fuss and is happiest when he’s getting plenty of attention.  Getting a good photo of him proved to be a bit of a challenge! Every time you ask him to ‘sit’ instead of posing nicely he ‘speaks’ instead so most of his photos have him mid conversation.  It’s all part of his charming character. He is a typical lively Staffie who enjoys being active and involved in whatever you’re doing.  He knows his basic commands and is eager to please, although he can get a little over-excited and will jump up for attention, so he will benefit from continued training and consistent boundaries.  We are looking for adopters who will be understanding of his initial nerves and are committed to helping build his confidence, through positive experiences, patience and plenty of love. He would benefit from a private secure garden.

He has socialised well with other dogs whilst in our care so we feel he could potentially live with another dog following a successful meet and greet.

We are unsure how he would react around cats.

As he came into the home as a stray we have no previous history on him so would prefer 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.

*Applications that are successful will be provided with further information on each dog to the best of the charity’s knowledge.
