Adopt Arthur

Border Collie · Male · Young · 2 years

Arthur is pure happiness on four paws. He doesn’t just play, he throws himself into life with enthusiasm, whether that’s dashing around the run, inventing his own chase games, or launching into a full-on tug session with complete dedication. If there’s fun to be had, Arthur will find it and probably make it better. But once the excitement settles, you’ll see his softer side. Arthur loves leaning in close for reassurance and fuss, soaking up affection like he’s been saving it up all day. He can be a little unsure when meeting new people but give him a moment (and a few tasty treats), and he’ll soon decide you’re someone very special indeed. Arthur is the kind of dog that makes him impossible not to smile at. With a little patience, plenty of guidance, and lots of fun along the way, he’ll grow into the most loyal, loving, and joy-filled best friend you could ever hope for. Home requirements: If you’re looking for a dog who makes life feel a little brighter and a lot more fun, Arthur is already halfway to winning your heart. This 2-year-old sweet Collie is a bundle of joy wrapped in fluff and is always ready to play. Arthur is searching for a home where he can be the only pet and truly shine as the centre of someone’s world. He can live with secondary school-aged children will need initially low leaving hours, gradually building up as he settles. A home with behavioural experience or someone willing to learn would help this bright boy flourish. Available at Shrewsbury (Shropshire), Telford
