Adopt Daffy

Male · Senior · 12 years

Wakefield, West Yorkshire 12 years old Male, standard size (14kg), smooth, piebald cross Neutered Adoption fee for Daffy is £100 Daffy is an affectionate older gentleman looking for a sofa to sunbathe on and a human companion or two to hang out with. Sadly his current family are looking for a new home for him as changes to work schedules mean he is now left alone for much of the day and he is becoming increasingly stressed by this. Daffy is an easy-going boy but his early life was disturbing and difficult. He was rescued from a dog-hoarding situation as a young dog and was in a terrible, starved state. He has since made an amazing recovery but this early experience of not knowing when or if he would be fed means that he resource-guards food. His family manages this very successfully but his new family will need to be mindful around food in order to manage this bite risk – we will give behaviourist support to ensure his move to a new family goes well. Apart from food, Daffy is a straight-forward dog who just wants a gentle walk, a comfy sofa and someone around most of the time. He would love a garden and a quiet home. He lives with other dogs at the moment and is happy to be with them, he also lives with cats so a dog-savvy cat with careful introductions should also work. He is house-trained, although is having accidents at the moment because of the amount of time he is being left. Daffy will be an amazing companion dog, he has a lot of love to give to someone and is in good health, despite his hard start in life. He is a special senior who deserves lots of pets and love! Requirements in a home for Daffy No children Could live with another dog, subject to a successful introduction Could live with dog-savvy cats A family who will work with our behaviourist A private garden Someone who is home most of the time To find out more about Daffy please email
