Russ D2024-163
• Needs a resident dog
• Fine with cats
• Older dog savvy children
• Patient owners
Russ is a 4 year old Spaniel who likes to pretend he is scared and nervous but really, he is just storing up all his courage to be brave and adventurous. He has really come out of his shell in the last week and has now started chasing and playing with the resident dogs. His new favourite hobby is looking out the window doing his bit for neighbourhood watch. He has a very waggy tail and will let you stroke him and is happy to wander around watching what goes on. He’s still not made a noise but his tail never stops wagging and he just needs someone who understands that these things take time.
He has started to investigate his foster home and now chooses to come into the living room with his foster pawrents and will lie on the floor but is definitely eyeing up the settee if he can just move the three small resident dogs to make room. He approaches to let you stroke him but it’s taken at his pace.
He loves to go out in the garden even in the rain and can’t understand why the sausages in his foster home won’t follow him. He is fully housetrained if allowed access to the garden.
He was happy to be stroked by the 7 year old but older children who will understand his signals.
He is fine with cats totally ignores them.
Good on harness and lead in the garden. Has not been out yet as not fully vaccinated and needs to settle in his home before trying.
He will now choose to wander upstairs to sleep on the floor next to our bed and will put his feet up on the bed to see what his doggy pals are doing and is beginning to get up the guts to jump up. So beware it won’t be long before he’s sharing.
He is fed in another room as he likes to wander and check what others have. He has quickly learnt what the biscuits tin is and if the other dogs aren’t around, he will take a treat from your hand. He has also just realised that good things happen in the kitchen and has realised the worktops are where the interesting smells come from. He hasn’t taken anything but given the opportunity maybe he would try.
Russ needs a home with a resident dog to show him how to dog. Someone who is around most of the time so you can bond. Once he has built his confidence, we are sure he will really enjoy his walkies and adventures. He is good with children but a busy, noisy household would not suit. He just needs to take things slowly to build his confidence and he will really shine.
