Name: Yoda
Age: 4 years
Sex: Male
Breed: Staffordshire Bull Terrier/Presa Canario
Ref number: 23
Personality:
Meet Yoda, our lovely gentle giant. Yoda found himself in our care due to no fault of his own, he loves his human friends and having cuddles (sometimes thinking he is a lap dog!!). Yoda can be VERY strong on the lead, and needs to continue Loose Lead training in his new home. Yoda loves going for long walks, playing fetch with a ball or with his teddies.
Behaviour:
Yoda is a very friendly, very large boy who is currently on a weight loss plan which will need to be continued in the home until he is at the correct weight. He is finding the kennels quite stressful, but gets a lot of comfort from his human friends. He loves a good massage/fuss and being around his trusted people. Yoda has previously had negative experiences with dogs which has now resulted in him being slightly nervous and crying when he sees other dogs on a walk. He would benefit from an owner experienced with large bully breeds although not essential.
Housing:
Yoda will need a good sized secure garden to explore and a comfy bed in a quiet part of the house, Yoda can suffer with a little bit of separation anxiety in the home, but has previously been left for up to 2 hours. This will have to be built up gradually in a new home.
Children/pets:
Yoda will need to be the only dog in the home. He cannot live with cats. Yoda could live Children 11+ who are used to large breeds.
Vet history:
Yoda is up to date with his vaccinations and flea and worm treatment. He will need to come back to the shelter to be neutered once he has settled.
