Our little Rodney is ready to find his forever home 💜
Rodney is around 1 year old & came to us as an unclaimed stray from the wardens. He was in a terribly matted state and also came down with pneumonia from kennel cough picked up at kennels. He needed intensive medical care to get him back on track and ready for his next chapter.
Despite everything, he’s come on great in his foster home & is house trained. He loves cuddles and is a proper lap dog & also loves his toys.
He is a very energetic boy and can get a bit mouthy when playing (like a pup).
He is fine being left for short periods of time & hasn’t shown any sign of being destructive during these times.
He walks well on a lead & is good with other dogs. He is also good in the car. He is not fully cat tested but has been fine at the sanctuary when they have walked past him.
Rodney is nervous until you gain his trust. He can therefore be weary of new people & can bark & be snappy if his personal space is not respected. We will not home him with children due to these behaviours. With sensible introductions Rodney will settle with new people but as with all dogs with these issues, they will require sensible management when visitors come to the house and failure to do this can have dire consequences for Rodney. Once Rodney trusts a human, he is the sweetest most loyal boy you could wish for. His snappiness with strange people is entirely predictable and reasonable due to his background but very easily managed in the right home with someone experienced and willing to follow advice.
Rodney is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped & had us up to date with flea & worm treatment.
Rodney will suit an active adult only home who is preferably savvy with nervous small dogs and around most of the time to keep him company and continue his training. Any existing resident dogs must be neutered.
If you think you can offer Rodney a loving home, please fill out an application form on our website in as much detail as possible 🙏
