Shadow – Dog Number 1583 – Age (approx) 1 years old – SBT – Arrival Date – September 2021.
Shadow needs an adult only foster home and he needs to be the only animal in the home.
Shadow is a super bouncy, fun and bright 1 year old boy who has sadly missed out on some key socialisation, having been born during a lockdown and not having the best start in life. While on foster, he’s been excelling with his training, and is slowly being socialised with the world around him. However, he’s currently in a relatively busy area that is sometimes too much for him.
With people he knows, Shadow is incredibly friendly and cuddly — excellent with all handling, around resources, and loves training and playing with his toys, as well as snoozing on the couch. With people he doesn’t know, he can be worried and reactive at first, and can growl and lunge if he feels trapped. If introduced appropriately, he quickly relaxes in their presence. He can be similarly worried around dogs but has met a few calm dogs nicely on lead. Due to his reactivity, Shadow has been muzzled associated and is happy to wear it on walks. While on foster, he’s shown signs of separation-related behaviours (whining, pacing and toileting if left alone), and his foster parents are diligently working to build up his time left alone.
Shadow has responded excellently to consistent training and has huge potential for further improvements. He’s clicker trained and has been working on his impulse control and responses to scary stimuli, as well as learning a few tricks along the way! He will need experienced owners willing to continue his training and exposure to his triggers at his pace.

Cruise – Dog Number 1673- Age (approx) 2 year – Shar-Pei cross- Arrival Date – October 2021.
Cruise can go home with children 16+ but no other animals in the home
Cruise is quite a whirlwind of energy, he approaches life like a bull in a china shop and he often doesn’t stop to think about what he is doing before he does it. Cruise is an absolute clown and is forever making us laugh with his character, and his goofy antics.
However, Cruise can be incredibly stubborn and for the most part chooses not to listen to a word you have to say to him! He can get far too overwhelmed when around other dogs and he just switches off from the rest of the world altogether. This can be intimidating for most dogs and he does get some negative reactions back.
Cruise sadly doesn’t appear to have had much training and can be a bit of a challenge, an experienced home is a must for Cruise alongside a home with patience and time to commit to him. His larger than life goofy personality makes him a lovable rogue, and in the right home he will thrive. The pleasure of seeing how far he has come will be the most satisfying reward for any proud committed owner.
