Adopt Elvis

Poodle · Male · Young · 2 years

Elvis is a gentle, sensitive boy whose sweet side shines brighter with every day. While naturally more cautious than Dolly, he is already making lovely progress and has begun accepting fuss, sometimes even jumping up to give handlers an affectionate lick on the face! Elvis gains huge reassurance from other confident dogs and truly comes into his own when he has his canine friend by his side. He enjoys social time with other dogs, plays nicely, and has a thoughtful, observant nature that makes every little milestone feel extra special. For someone who understands shy dogs and the joy of earning their trust, Elvis could be an incredibly rewarding and loyal companion. Home requirements: Dolly and Elvis are a lovely young pair of Poodle crosses, who need patient adopters that can introduce the world gently and at their pace. A secure garden is essential so they can enjoy safe home and garden time while they settle, build confidence and continue their housetraining. Neither has experience of walking on leads, so any future adventures will need to begin slowly at home once trust has been built, with road walks, busier areas and car travel introduced gradually over time. They would be happiest in a smaller residential or rural location rather than a busy town or city, with low visitor levels initially while they adjust to homelife. They could live with sensible secondary school aged children who understand the importance of giving them space, but most importantly, they need adopters who appreciate that confidence grows best through kindness, patience and consistency.
