Yoda

Staffordshire Bull Terrier · Male · Adult · 5 years

Personality:Meet Yoda, our lovely gentle boy. Yoda found himself in our care due to no fault of his own, he loves his human friends and having cuddles (sometimes thinking he is a lap dog!!). Yoda can be strong on the lead when he wants to greet a doggy friend, but generally walks very well. Yoda loves going for walks, playing fetch with a ball playing with his teddies. Behaviour:Yoda is a very friendly, affectionate boy who had been finding the kennels quite stressful, so we would love to see him in his forever home asap. He loves a good massage/fuss and being around his trusted people. He would benefit from an owner experienced with large bully breeds although not essential. Yoda has recently started some medication to help with some resource guarding behaviours noticed in a foster home. This is currently being managed well and we are hoping once fully settled in a home with adopters who are prepared to follow our behaviour modification plan, this behaviour will continue to improve. We would advise he remains on this medication until fully settled in his new home. If you are interested in learning more about Yoda, we would love to chat to you. Housing:Yoda will need a good sized secure garden to explore. He is a dog that likes to be near you, however he can currently be left for up to 3 and a half hours and settling well when left. This will have to be built up gradually in a new home. Children/pets:Yoda will need to be the only dog in the home. He cannot live with cats because of his prey drive. Yoda would prefer a quieter home but could cope with occasional visiting older children. We have noticed that Yoda’s resource guarding can be triggered when the house becomes busier/nosier, and this is why we think he would cope better in a quieter household. Vet history:Yoda is up to date with his vaccinations and flea and worm treatment. He will need to come back to the shelter to be neutered once he has settled. Adoption fee:The adoption fee is £220. If you would like to make an additional donation over and above the adoption fee, this would be hugely appreciated.
