Adopt Colin

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Male · Adult · 4 years

Colin is a 4-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross seeking a loving home. He's super smart and affectionate, loving to spend time with his favorite people and curl up with his Caterpillar toy. Colin prefers quiet walks away from other dogs and needs an experienced adult-only home for continued training. He requires owners who can be home most of the day to help him settle and would love his own garden to explore and play. This active boy will make a great, fun companion for the right family.

Read original (en)

Colin's foster carer has written ' A Day in the Life' about Colin's time in foster! "Hi Colin's days are mostly the same. He seems to respond well to routine. Day starts with a morning walk first thing and then back home for breakfast. He usually settles down after eating and has a bit of a snooze in his bed in my office. Later on in the morning he likes to sit on the sofa and watch everything that goes on outside the window. At lunch time we go out for the second walk of the day. He is usually quite excited by this time and gets the zoomies around the house whilst im getting my boots and jacket on. After our walk, he watches me intently eat my lunch hoping for some treats to come his way! He usually settles down again for a snooze after this for a couple of hours. Mid afternoon we typically go in the garden and have a play. He likes tug of war when the mood takes him, but he is very strong so always wins! If the weather isn't nice then we'll stay inside and have a play or I'll give him a long lasting chew or an antler, which he very much enjoys. After expelling some energy he will settle again snooze for another hour or so until I finish work. We will then go for the 3rd walk of the day and then home for dinner. In the evenings he usually tucks in to the antler again for a bit, but will then settle down quite well. He does enjoy a cuddle and stealing your warmth, so will happily join you on the sofa in the evenings." Home requirements: Colin is a 4-year-old Staffordshire bull terrier cross looking for a loving home. He adores spending time with his favourite people and is more than happy to make new friends! Colin is a super smart lad and loves to spending his day curled up beside his Caterpillar toy or looking out the window watching the world go by. Colin loves to snuggle up to his humans on the sofa as close to them as possible and watch tv and has been described by his foster carers as "very easy going". He is looking for an experienced adult only home
