Name: Darwin
Age: 1 year
Sex: Male
Breed: Australian Shepherd/Jack Russell Terrier
Ref number: 15
Personality:
Our lovely Darwin came to us through no fault of his own and, despite his difficult start, has won over many hearts here at the Ark! This boy is a small bundle of happiness and energy, he loves his walks, cuddles with his favourite people and can’t wait to find his forever home!
Behaviour:
Darwin is still quite young, bouncy and playful so potential adopters should be prepared for having a younger dog in the home. He can be vocal at times when out on his walks especially at other dogs, he is learning slowly to move on from but this will need to be continued in the home to help him be a bit calmer when out walking around other dogs. His current training plan will be handed over so his new family can continue encouraging this in the home. He has managed to make a few doggy friends here at the ark though he does like some space after a little bit of play and potential owners should be prepared to help encourage this.
Housing:
Cannot be rehomed to the PO15 area. Darwin will need access to a private and fully secure garden along the bottom as no doubt he would squeeze through gaps if he can find them! Darwin could be left a couple of hours but this will need to be done gradually whilst he settles in.
Children/pets:
Darwin will need to be the only pet in the home though could have some dog friends out on his walks. He could also live with children of secondary school age.
Vet history:
Darwin is up to date with flea, worming and vaccinations. He will need to return to the centre at a later date to be castrated.
