Say hello to our big, silly goofball boy, Mutley Sadly, Mutley arrived in our care through no fault of his own, as his previous owners were no longer able to meet his needs. Although he’s already a big lad, Mutley is just 10 months old, still very much a baby. He finds kennel life quite stressful and can often be heard crying in his kennel. At the moment he can be wary of new people, which is completely understandable given how overwhelming everything feels for him. Luckily, he’s easily won over with some tasty treats. Once he trusts you, his excitement takes over and his whole body, especially his bum, starts wiggling with happiness. He is incredibly loyal to those he is bonded with and likes to stay close at all times to his favourite people. Mutley is looking for an adult-only home initially, while he learns his manners and how to be a good boy. He has no real concept of his size yet and can jump up on his favourite people when he’s excited. Being so young, making friends is a big deal to Mutley but he certainly loves with all heart. It’s clear that Mutley hasn’t had much exposure to the outside world, which he currently finds overwhelming. This can lead to him biting at the lead on walks, but with consistent training and support from someone he trusts, he will over come this behaviour. He’s very food-motivated and responds well to positive reinforcement. He has shown great progress with his lead manners, he wants to please. Mutley may be able to live with other dogs, depending on introductions. He has seen other dogs while out on walks and tends to show a bit of interest before happily carrying on. He will need a home with a secure garden where he can burn off some energy and enjoy playtime. Mutley absolutely loves a game of tug and will happily boop his toy into your hand to ask for more. Ideally he would thrive in a rural setting as city life is a bit too much for him at the moment. If you’re a big dog person looking for a loyal companion and a best friend for life, Mutley might just be the dog for you. ‎walking like a good boy, showing off what i have learnt
