Name: Peanut
Age: 1 year
Sex: Male
Breed: Staffordshire Bull Terrier X
Ref number: 65
Personality:
Peanut came to us with very little history but is a bundle of fun and energy who has done well settling in and making friends since his arrival at the Ark. He is a little wary to start when first meeting people, so he can take a few meetings to come around but once he does he loves going for his walks, a fuss with his favourite people and has even made a few doggy friends!
Behaviour:
Peanut can sometimes be a little worried when meeting new people but he’s been doing well with introductions at the centre and is relaxing a little quicker when making new friends. His ideal adopters will have some knowledge on dog body language to help know when Peanut is feeling uncomfortable. He can be a little strong on lead at times though is doing well learning to walk nicely, he will need adopters who will be able to handle him but are also interested in keeping up his training once he’s settled into his new home. Peanut also has quite a high prey drive and will chase a bird or cat if given the opportunity!
Housing:
Peanut would benefit from a private and secure garden. We have no history on how Peanut is in a home so will need someone around whilst he first settles in but believe he could gradually learn to be left. Potential adopters will need to be able to offer Peanut his own space, for example with the use of a stair gate.
Children/pets:
Peanut has a high prey drive and so cannot live with cats or small animals. He could however live with a similar size and energy dog pending successful meets here at the centre. Due to being a little worried around people Peanut will need an adult only home with limited visitors.
Vet history:
Peanut is castrated and up to date on flea, worming and vaccinations.
Additional information:
We reserve the right to remove a reserve at any stage of the adoption process if we believe it is in the best interest of the dog.
Adopters should consider that previous medical conditions will now not be covered by insurance. Adopters are responsible for the on-going medical costs once the animal has been adopted.
Due to the high number of applications we receive daily, regrettably we will only be able to contact the successful applicant.
Please note you have to be 18+ to apply for an animal.
