Adopt Galloway

Cockapoo · Male · Adult · 6 years

Galloway is a 5-year-old Cockapoo with hip dysplasia and luxating patella requiring restricted exercise. He enjoys exploring enclosed outdoor areas and needs a home with a garden. This nervous boy requires an adult-only home with patient adopters who can spend time building trust. He needs multiple meets at the rehoming center before adoption. Galloway is very sociable with other dogs and gains confidence in their presence, so he needs a home with another dog. He requires gradual introduction to being left alone and needs plenty of time, patience and love from experienced owners.

He currently enjoys pottering about the enclosed outdoor areas here at the Centre and would love a home with a garden to explore. Galloway’s adopter should be someone that can spend lots of time with him, to build the trust and bond that he needs. Once he is more confident in his new environment, leaving time will be able to be gradually increased. All this special little lad needs is plenty of time, patience and love! Galloway is currently on medication and this can be discussed with the team at the centre. Meet Galloway or Gally as he's known to his friends. He is an adorable 5-year-old Cockapoo who unfortunately, hasn’t had the best start to life. Since arriving with us, he has come on leaps and bounds and we couldn’t be prouder of him! As Galloway is more on the nervous side, he will need a quiet home with adopters that will take things at his pace. He will need multiple meets here at the Rehoming Centre so that you can get to know each other and form a friendship before he heads home. This will be supported by our amazing Training Team, who have been there with Galloway for every step of the way. Galloway is a very sociable boy when it comes to other dogs, so we are looking for a home for him that already has another dog. He really comes out of his shell around other dogs and gains so much confidence in their presence!
