Please read our Homing Criteria BEFORE applying for any of our dogs.
BREED: Retriever Cross
SEX: Male (Neutered)
AGE: Aprox. 18 months
SIZE: Large (22kg)
Bouncy, cuddly young Rupert was handed in to a dog pound as a stray and never reclaimed. He is quite a large, strong dog and is a happy, extrovert who wants to be friends with everyone he meets! He is just a youngster, and as with any dog that has become unwanted at such an early age, he is likely to have missed out on early training so will need an owner who is willing and able to help him to catch up. He is full of energy and fun, and will enjoy learning new things to exercise his bright keen brain as well as lots of play to exercise his fit young body.
Rupert has no long term history, so we would not wish to place him with children under 10 years. He is unknown with cats or small pets. He is not known with other dogs, although he has been very sociable with other dogs while in rescue, and this will need to be maintained by careful integration with other nice-natured dogs, and dog training classes are the ideal way to achieve safe introduction in a controlled environment. Many dogs in rescue can behave in a reactive manner towards other dogs, but after all, they have been through a traumatic time and also may not feel confident in new situations, and also may feel they need to defend their new owner. Training and empathic handling will help ensure a happy situation.
Rupert is a young and active dog who will need lots of walks and lots of fun, so he is looking for an active and enthusiastic owner. He will need company most of the time.
When a dog moves into a new home, they need time and consideration to help them feel confident and settled. They are having to adjust to a totally different environment, with new people and new challenges, and when one adopts a rescue dog, one must be ready to help them through not just the first few days, but for as long as it takes for them to feel comfortable in their new life. They are relying on their new owners to teach them the house rules and all about the new world they are living in. They are likely to need and benefit from dog training classes, and may also need behavioural help and the adopter may need to seek professional advice. If you are considering adopting, please be very sure that you are committed to the needs of your new friend, as they will be relying on you and their life and happiness is literally in your hands. This will last for their lifetime, so please also take an honest look at your age and activity levels and ensure that you are likely to be able to meet their ongoing needs.
