Adopt McQueen

Poodle · Male · Adult · 4 years

McQueen is a sweet, gentle soul who simply needs patience to show his true colours. Quiet and thoughtful, he takes his time building trust, but once he feels safe he has already shown he can form lovely bonds, even climbing onto the lap of a favourite handler for a fuss. He enjoys playing with toys when Dean gets the fun started and clearly gains confidence from his canine friend. Though he is currently too worried for walks or a lead, McQueen’s future is full of promise with calm adopters willing to move at his pace. Watching this lovely boy learn that the world is not so scary will be an incredibly special journey. Home requirements: Dean, a 1-year-old Poodle cross, and McQueen, a 4-year-old Poodle cross, are a devoted duo looking for a patient home where they can continue life side by side. Having had a very sheltered start to life, they will need calm and understanding adopters who can open their world gradually. These sensitive boys will need to live in an adult only household in a smaller residential or rural location, somewhere peaceful with very low traffic and access to quiet areas. They will need their own secure garden and a gentle settling-in period where they can use the garden to continue working on their toilet training and gaining confidence. As they are not used to the wider world, walks, car travel and new experiences will need to be introduced very gradually and at their pace. Rare visitors would suit them best for now, as lots of change can feel overwhelming, but with patient adopters and growing confidence, their world can slowly become bigger and brighter.
