How much training will I need?

Needs some support

Can I be left alone?

Potentially, once settled

Floyd does struggle when being left and was not used to being left on his own much at all in his previous home. This will need building up very slowly for short periods only.

Do I have any medical conditions?

None

Floyd has historical medical conditions, namely underweight and had a few superficial wounds when he first came in to us as was straying, that will require consideration before this pet is rehomed.

Our rehoming team will be able to give you further information if you apply to rehome him and you are a successful match.

We would also advise that any medical conditions, be that historic or ongoing, are discussed with your own vet prior to taking them home.

Can I live with dogs?

Yes

Can I live with cats?

Can I live with small pets?

Additional information

Floyd could potentially live with another dog. He would best suited to a medium sized dog (or bigger !) who won’t be too boisterous, as Floyd is still building his confidence around other dogs.

What kind of family am I looking for?

Floyd can live with children in his new home, but his new family need to bear in mind that he can be quite a sensitive boy at times, and also a food thief!!

Children would need to be over the age of 5 years to live with.

What type of environment would suit me?

Floyd would enjoy a garden to play and zoom around in as he is not going to be allowed off lead in public

Young Floyd, is a truly lovable boy; affectionate, trusting, and full of warmth. Once Floyd feels comfortable, his cheeky, infectious, personality shines through and he will never fail to make you laugh. Whether that is watching him throw his toys up in the air, zooming around in the enclosed fields, or watching his ears flap around in the wind! He hasn’t had the easiest start in life, but despite his challenges, Floyd remains hopeful and ready to embrace the love and care he’s always deserved.
