About This Dog

Rory's ideal home

Meet Rory, a wonderful bouncy 2-year-old boy who is ready to find a patient and understanding home where he can start discovering the world. Rory is friendly when meeting new people and does enjoy a fuss, although he can sometimes feel a little unsure, so it's important to take things slowly and let him build relationships at his own pace. He will need multiple meets here at the centre. His adopters will need to understand his needs and be confident in advocating for his space when out and about. Rory can be excitable and conflicted when meeting other dogs, as he hasn't had much opportunity to interact with them out on walks, he will need to be the only dog in the home but would benefit from walking buddies. He cannot live with cats or small furries. He can share his home with older, secondary school-aged children who understand his need for space and patience. Having had a sheltered life, Rory will need gentle introductions to new environments, allowing him plenty of time to sniff, explore and take everything in without feeling rushed. Access to a secure outdoor space would be a real bonus, giving him somewhere safe to investigate the world around him

Could you be Rory's perfect match?

Rory is looking for a home that will help him build his confidence and experience all the things he may have missed out on so far. His new family will need to be patient, taking each new experience at his pace and helping him feel safe and secure as he discovers more of the world. Rory would particularly benefit from fun activities such as scent work, which would give his clever nose a wonderful outlet and provide him with mental stimulation that he hasn't previously had the opportunity to enjoy. His time being left alone will also need to be built up gradually, starting with short periods and increasing as he becomes more comfortable. Once Rory has settled in and feels at ease with his new family, he will need regular grooming to keep his coat in good condition. Rory has so much potential to blossom with the right people beside him. If you can offer him a calm, understanding home, plenty of encouragement and the time he needs to grow in confidence, you could help Rory begin a wonderful new chapter!
