Adopt Truso

Truso is a very handsome Collie cross Labrador who has found himself back at Many Tears looking for his perfect retirement home. Originally adopted from us as an 8-week-old pup, this gentle soul spent a full decade in a loving home before circumstances changed and his family sadly felt they could no longer meet his needs. Understandably, Truso was overwhelmed to return to kennels after so long, but he is began to settle and reminded us all of what a wonderful companion he truly is. Truso is young at heart and still full of life. His favourite game is fetch, and he would happily spend hours chasing a tennis ball. He can be quite vocal, especially when he’s excited or trying to get your attention, and he's a clever lad who has learned that barking can bring rewards. Because of this, Truso will need experienced adopters who are willing to work gently and consistently with him using positive reinforcement to help guide him towards calmer, quieter habits. He is incredibly affectionate and thrives on companionship, whether it’s through play or simply enjoying a fuss. After so many years in a warm and familiar home, being in kennels has been a tough adjustment. What Truso longs for now is a quiet, adult-only home where he can feel safe, secure, and loved again. Truso can be homed as an only dog, and may prefer it this way. However, he can be homed with another kind resident dog that isn't overly boisterous or constantly in his face, as he likes his space and absolutely no cats in the home. He loves his walks and would suit an active home where he can enjoy daily adventures and plenty of mental stimulation. In his past, Truso did show some anxious behaviours and had a few incidents involving nipping, though these occurred several years ago. We are told there was one incident in his previous home where he had a fight with another dog in the home, but this was very out of character for him. His previous owners noted that he mellowed significantly with age. He finds vet vi
