Dear followers and friends.. we are sadly looking for a miracle for our little Chook, who is needing to find a new home.

Chook is an anxious boy and his needs are not able to be met by his current family. We are heartbroken for him and really hope that someone is willing to see past Chook’s struggles for the sweet, affectionate, playful boy that he truly is..

Chook is 3yrs old, neutered, and German shepherd sized. Chook had a really tough start to life and is understandably anxious of certain things. He is fear reactive to new humans and dogs, which causes him to bark and sometimes lunge when on lead. However, he is brilliant with children (very gentle and adores their attention) and has lived with cats. In the house he will bark at unfamiliar visitors, but he will choose to retreat and hide if able. We are working hard on helping him feel more brave in any situation and have started to crate train him to help with his anxiety. (He is perfect with his familiar humans and very much enjoys a snuggle on a sofa!)

He does have some doggy friends who he loves to play with, so we are confident that once he overcomes his fear, he would be able to build new friendships: he’s a young boy after all, and loves a play! We believe that Chook would actually benefit from another well-balanced dog in the household (with gentle introductions, of course).

He is already on a behaviour plan (which includes the crate training) that will continue to be implemented in a new home with our full support and guidance; and does so well with all his training - he is a really clever boy who loves to learn and loves treats! We are confident that with a little time and effort to encourage Chook’s bravery, his new family will feel so lucky to have him 😊

Do you think you could help a little boy in need? 🙏🏼 He is such a sensitive soul and we would dearly love to see him with a suitable forever family.. (Please note: we stress that we will support any family with all training, and provide any additional support/tools such as the crate, that they may need. This support is for life and we are always on hand to help or advise).
