Oooooh hello there. It’s so lovely to make your acquaintance. I’m really happy that you have clicked on my photo and that you’d like to know a bit more about me.
I think it’s best I start by telling you what happened for me to end up here and looking for a new home. Since a puppy I had lived in the same home, until recently when I was privately rehomed to an elderly lady. I was only there for two weeks before ‘the incident’ happened. The humans don’t have much information other than when the lady plumped a pillow near me I panicked and lashed out. Sadly I was taken on, what was supposed to be, a one way trip to the vet but I was very lucky when the vets reached out to the lovely people here at Gables to see if they could help me.
Since arriving at Gables I’ve been a real gent. I’ve loved meeting all the new humans here and I’ve enjoyed making new dog friends too. Although you may think that at 8 years old I’ll be slowing down, you couldn’t be more wrong. I am still a very energetic and active boy. I love getting out and about for long walks and I’ve always got plenty of energy left in the tank to play ball. I’m not the most cuddly dog as I’m usually on the move but when l I get tired then I may be inclined to snuggle up for a while.
I’m a real gentleman when I am socialising with other dogs. I enjoy saying hello but I’m not pushy and I know when other dogs would prefer me to leave them alone. I’m happy to live with another dog that is looking for a calm and gentle new friend.
If you ask me what my favourite thing in the whole world is I would pick toys every time. Especially tennis balls! When I want to play I will bring the toy to you, when I want to settle down with toys on my own I will take them to bed with me. I prefer people not to touch my toys when they are in my bed. I get very excited when people come to see me in my kennel and I often bring a toy or my blanket to show it off.
I am very fond of food and during my assessment here they discovered that I guard my food if you get too close. This means my new owners will need to have experience in owning a dog with high level guarding behaviour and have dealt with the issue appropriately in the past. I’m looking for a quiet home with someone who can give me lots of exercise and time to adjust to my new home. It’s really important to note that due to my past I cannot be around children at any time.
I’m a sweet boy who needs a bit of understanding and a second chance at life. I really hope you like me.
