This handsome boy is Teddy! He is looking for a patient, understanding home where he can finally feel safe and secure.  When he first arrived with us, he was very scared and unsure of the world around him.  he was understandably nervous and could be a bit growly when he felt overwhelmed.  At the vets he was muzzled as a precaution, but he coped well.  Since being in our care, he has started to come out of his shell.  He still needs people to take things slowly and allow him to build trust at his own pace, but once you’ve earned that trust, you’ll discover what a lovely boy he really is.  One of his favourite things in the world is playing fetch, and seeing his playful side emerge has been incredibly rewarding.  He has socialised well with other dogs, so we feel following a successful meet and greet could potentially live with another calm dog.  He is looking for an experienced owner who understands nervous dogs and is willing to give him the time, patience and reassurance he needs.  He won’t be the type of dog who settles straight away, but with kindness and consistency he will continue to blossom.  He will need a private secure garden.

The potential adopter will need to commit to multiple, regular meet and greets to allow Teddy to get to know them before the adoption takes place.

As Teddy came into the home as a stray we have no previous history on him and as he is still very timid and unsure we would like any children/visiting children to be 16+ years.

We are unsure how Teddy 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.
