Support and Health

How much training will I need?

Needs some support

Can I be left alone?

Potentially, once settled

As Walnut is a stray, we do not know if he has ever been left in a home before. He is looking for owners who are at home most of the time who can help him settle in, learn the basics and build up his home alone time gradually from scratch.

Do I have any medical conditions?

History of

Walnut has a historic medical concern, namely scaly coat, that will require consideration before he is rehomed. Our rehoming team will be able to give you further information if you apply to rehome this pet and you are a successful match. We would also advise that any medical concern, be that historic or ongoing, is discussed with your own vet prior to any book out appointment.

Who I can live with

Can I live with dogs?

Yes

Can I live with cats?

No

Can I live with small pets?

Yes, conditionally - securely caged and kept separate

Additional information

Walnut needs to live with a well-socialised female or neutered male dog as he gains confidence in their company. He cannot live with cats but could potentially live with securely caged small animals kept in a separate room away from him.

Family and environment

What kind of family am I looking for?

As Walnut is a nervous, sensitive boy, we feel he would be most comfortable around children aged 13 years and above.

What type of environment would suit me?

Walnut needs a private, secure garden where he can gain confidence and do his zoomies. The garden will need to have at least 6 foot fencing.

About Walnut

Walnut is a sweet, shy boy looking for a patient and understanding family who will give him the time and support he needs to feel safe in the big, wide world.

He is nervous but with patience, kindness and plenty of encouragement, we hope Walnut can learn to come out of his shell and grow in confidence. He also finds comfort and confidence around other dogs so he would love a home where he can have some canine companionship.

Could you be the patient, loving person Walnut has been waiting for?
