07-11-24 Donald is a wonderful boy who has come to us from a breeder to find his forever home. He is a handsome boy, who is super friendly! He can already walk well on a lead and is going to love going for walks and adventures with his new family so would love to find an active home. He loves to play and just LOVES tennis balls! He is confident enough that in the right circumstances, with adopters who were home most of the time, we would consider homing him as an only dog. He does love other dogs and so could also live with other kind dogs. Donald has never lived in a home before so his adopters would need to be kind and understanding as he settled in and learned all about home life. He is a little superstar and whoever adopts him is going to adore him!

Donald has been in foster with us for two weeks. He’s a big soft lad, weighing 31kg but looks bigger due to his beautiful auburn coat. Donald currently might be more of a cat than a dog! He loves to sleep, almost always upside down. He’s got on well with all our dogs and others he’s met out walking. There was just a few rumbles between him & GSP Jess as they worked each other out. Donald is a big softie, who loves everone equally. He will jump up but it’s oddly gently for such a big lad and he will stop as soon as you ask. He has a gorgeous personality and so wants to please with the tiniest little watch out!! Abbout once an hour he has a random bonkers 5 minutes where he tries to sit on your lap, zoomies and is a bit nuts then it’s all over. Whilst Donald is generally a ready-made dog his new family willl need to set him some boundaries around food, as he getes overly interested of our other dogs food. Donald is a beautiful, very typical retriever but with a bit of Del Boy stirred in for true bloke-ness. He will be very missed when he moves on. Donald travels very well in the car.

Donald has been returned to the rescue as he had a seizure. We have been monitoring this with our vet and he has had regular blood tests. Donald has now started medication for his seizures which will need to be given to him daily at regular times. He would suit a home where he can be the only dog in an adult home because although he is good with others, a dog may find it hard to watch him have a seizure. He is a darling.
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.
