Adopter Smyk

Smyk, (Polish meaning Scamp), was born on 03/01/2016 Smyk is a chunky Rottie cross Staffie who is a sweet boy but quite strong and enthusiastic for an older boy, so we are looking for someone who is used to a strong dog and can manage him on the lead. He was used to living and walking with an elderly lady with no issues. She had him as a rescue as a young dog and has looked after him really well. He was initially staying with us as a respite case while she was in hospital but, sadly, she has become too frail for him to go home to her and she has agreed that he should now find a new owner to love him like she has done for the last several years. He loves a fuss and is very affectionate when inside but tends to be easily distracted out on a walk, he's too busy looking at and smelling everything! He is good with other dogs and has also been fine around children and horses in his previous home. We don't think he could live with cats. He loves to play ball and will bring it back in exchange for a treat. He loves food of any kind. He's now restarted his vaccinations (he was always vaccinated but missed last year's due to his owner's condition) and we've had him neutered and he's bounced back from this with no problem. Beneath his tough exterior Smyk can be a bit of a wuss and will panic at the vets, especially about needles, so is muzzled for injections. He quickly forgives the vet when the treats come out! The vet didn't raise any further concerns for his general health. If you think you could give Smyk the loving and responsible home he deserves in his golden years please get in touch.
