If you are interested in adopting a dog that does not say it can be homed with a cat and wish us to cat test please let us know and we will be happy to do this.

05-07-24 Jumbo is a handsome boy who has come from his breeder to find a loving home. He was very worried when he first arrived but has started to come out of his shell and is doing so well. He can walk on a lead and does get very excited when he sees his lead and will approach you to have this put on, but if you don't have his lead then he is much more worried and will shy away. He could be homed as an only dog or he can be homed with a large/medium sized female dog that's playful and would be tolerant of him as he can be a little OTT with his playing.
As he is quite worried, he will need a home with adopters who have experience of scared ex-breeding dogs and will help him to come out of his shell and he would find children too overwhelming at the moment. He has never lived in a home before so his adopters will need to be kind and understanding as he settles in and learns all about toilet training.
Jumbo struggles with loud noises and when he heard gunshot from a nearby farm he really panicked and so please be aware of this as he may struggle with fireworks and thunder. He will need regular trips to the groomer to keep his unruly curls under control! This boy needs some time and patience but when he settles he will start to shine. He has a PETS passport travel doc

Jumbo has hugely come out of himself since arriving! He now walks confidently on lead, though he can be very strong so we've got him walking on a halti here and he now walks very nicely when it's on. Jumbo cannot be homed with cats. He is okay having his body groomed but he doesn't like his face being groomed at all, so this is something we are working on, and also why the pictures aren't too fab!! Jumbo is also 90% clean in his kennel and holds it the best he can.
I think Jumbo has huge potential to be an awesome addition to a family (with no young kids as he has so much bouncy energy), he just needs the time to blossom!

31-07-24 UPDATE
Jumbo had a haircut while he was under anaesthetic for his neuter! This way we could work on him without upsetting him in any way as he was fast asleep.
He looks like a brand new boy! And we can now hopefully easily stay on top of his grooming around his face and his body. His new adopters will also need to continue this with him to prevent him from becoming matted and uncomfortable again. 
Jumbo is such a lovely boy and we cannot wait to see him happily settled into his forever home. 

 

 

21-08-24 UPDATE 


Jumbo is a very sweet boy who has come on so well since he arrived with us. He absolutely loves toys and treats, and will sprint around our big play yard like is finally able to act like a puppy. He would absolutely love it if someone could frequently take him to a secure field/yard for a big run around on his own and to chase a ball (and lose it in plain sight - he will never fail to make you laugh!). He now greets me at his kennel very excitedly and will nuzzle in to me for a head scratch. Today, I wiped around his eyes and face trimmed a little bit of hair while giving him some cheese and he let me, but after a few minutes would not stay still so I left him be. Hopefully as he gets more and more confident, he will realise that scissors aren’t so scary, but today was huge progress. When Jumbo arrived he was so strong on lead, however recently he has been a pleasure to walk and will only pull if he really wants to sniff something, we no longer have to use a halti to walk him. He really is a good boy. Jumbo could be homed as an only dog or could live with a large/medium sized female dog, his carer can discuss this in further detail. Jumbo LOVES his humans and all his squishy toys. Please give this goofy boy a chance to have the loving him he deserves 

Please read our information on ADOPTING EX-BREEDING DOGS before you apply.

PLEASE NOTE: We nearly always home dogs who have come from breeders where there is ALREADY A RESIDENT DOG living in the house. They have usually never lived in a house before and are only used to canine company. They usually get their confidence and learn faster with another dog to copy from. This also helps with house training and learning how to walk on a lead. They will make lovely pets but do need a lot of love, time and patience. If the ex breeding dog you are interested in can be an only dog it will say so in its write up. Please read our information on ADOPTING EX-BREEDING DOGS before you apply.
