Adopt Badger

Male · Puppy · 11 months

Badger is a sweet thing who will need a quiet home where there isn't a lot of comings and goings, as he needs time to settle into a new home at his own pace. Badger is a mix of very intelligent breeds - collie, spaniel and GSD so will pick up any training very quickly once he is feeling a braver. He needs committed, understanding owners that are willing to give him the time he needs. Badger loves his food and has shown no signs of guarding - he shares very nicely with all of his siblings. He does not yet play with any toys, but we hope with confidence, he will show some interest.

Being a young lad, he has a lot of potential but this will take time to build up in a new environment. We don't think he has been left on his own without his siblings, so this would need building up as well. Badger is one of the more anxious and fearful of his siblings, and doesn't really trust people yet, He will often run away if you try to touch him, so it is necessary that any potential adopters understand that he needs time and not to rush him. Badger gets overwhelmed in new areas, but will explore. He has also struggled a lot with restraint and formal handling in a veterinary setting due to not wanting to be handled by strangers, so has been muzzled as a precaution. Any potential adopters would need to be aware that th
