Spud
About This Dog
Spud's ideal home
Meet Spud, a Chow Chow crossbreed ready to find his forever home. Spud does enjoy having his own space, so any children in the home should be of secondary school age or older. Whilst he will need to be the only dog in the home, we have no history of his interactions with other animals so he could potentially be homed with them pending successful pre-adoption mixes. He is currently getting refreshed on all of his basic training and is making excellent process, and this should be continued in his new home. Spud is fairly relaxed and doesn't require his own private garden, so flat living would be suitable for him. Spud should be kept on lead in public at all times until he has learned his recall. He tends to get a little restless when left by himself, so he'll need lots of attention initially, and any hours left alone should be built up very slowly. Spud will be happy living in an open plan home and having regular visitors, provided they are mindful of his boundaries.
Could you be Spud's perfect match?
Spud is a chilled guy who loves a good fuss and should settle nicely into his new home! He requires a moderate amount of mental stimulation, so having some fun games and enrichment activities available for him will be beneficial. Spud can get a little vocal when he can see or hear people around his kennel, but generally has coped very well and shown lots of curiosity around exploring new environments. When being handled for harnessing or grooming, he can be a little avoidant but generally tolerates it very well, and even uses it as an opportunity to ask for cuddles from people he trusts! He has really come out of his shell during our time with us, and we're now seeing him show lots of friendliness and eagerness around meeting new people. Spud prefers some dogs over others but generally gets on with them well, so he will happily meet lots of other doggy friends when out and about. He is on a limited diet which will be discussed with his adopters upon meeting him, and doesn't seem overly fussed by treats or toys! Spud seems to be comfortable getting in and out of cars, but he can be sensitive to loud noises so we'd recommend walking him in quieter areas to keep him feeling safe and comfortable.
