Adopt Lemmy

Male · Senior · 11 years

Lemmy is an energetic 11-year-old male dog who loves food and tennis balls. Despite his age, he's very active and playful. Having spent long periods in kennels, he needs a patient family to help him adjust to home life. He shows concerns around handling and requires an adult-only home with no other pets, though he can have calm walking friends. Lemmy needs a quiet location with a secure 6-foot fenced garden and can gradually build up to being left alone for 3-4 hours once settled.

Lemmy is a little ball of energy! For those that think he will be in his twilight years, don’t be fooled, Lemmy will be more than happy to keep up with you! Lemmy has spent a long time in kennels and so is looking for a patient family who would be willing to help him slowly adjust to home life along with our support. If you were to ask Lemmy what his favourite thing in life is, the answer would always be food and tennis balls; unfortunately he missed his calling as the next Wimbledon ball-boy, and so a family keen on playing a game of fetch and utilising that smart brain of his is a must! Lemmy can show concerns around handling, so a family willing to take a hands off approach initially whilst he builds a relationship with you is essential; in turn, you will get the most perfect, loving companion. We can't wait to help Lemmy find his forever home and a family to call his own! Lemmy requires an adult-only home and needs to be the only pet in the home, although could have calm walking friends. Lemmy is looking for a quieter location with a secure garden to enjoy. His leaving time could hopefully be gradually built up to 3-4 hours once he has settled into his new environment.
