Adopter Otis
Labrador Retriever · Mand · Ung · 1 år
Otis er kommet til os fra en opdrætter for at finde sit evige hjem. Han er en ekstremt nervøs dreng, der stadig synes, at verden er et meget skræmmende sted, og han er fuldstændig skrækslagen for menneskelig berøring. Da han først kom til os, gjorde han alt, hvad han kunne for at undgå at blive berørt, og løb febrilsk rundt i haven for at undslippe kontakt. Selvom han var interesseret i mennesker, følte han simpelthen ikke, at han var modig nok til at lade dem komme tæt på. Otis tager nu små, men dejlige skridt fremad, selvom han stadig er meget bekymret for berøring. Til dem, han kender meget godt, accepterer han tøvende at få kløet under hagen, men han er stadig meget bekymret over det. Han har stadig brug for at opbygge sit selvtillid, og det vil være en langsom proces at få ham til at føle sig tryg ved menneskers hænder, en proces der sandsynligvis vil fortsætte længe efter, at han er flyttet ind i sit nye hjem. Hans adoptanter skal være parate til at arbejde i hans tempo uden at skynde på ham eller presse ham. Otis er kun et år gammel og har masser af typisk labradorhvalpe-personlighed, der venter på at komme frem. Han elsker tennisbolde og bløde legetøjsdyr og er stadig ved at finde ud af, hvordan man leger apport! Efterhånden som hans selvtillid vokser, begynder vi at se mere af hans sjove og fjollede personlighed, og vi håber, at der er meget mere på vej. Otis elsker absolut andre hunde og finder stor tryghed og trøst i deres selskab. Han har brug for mindst én venlig og selvsikker hund i sit nye hjem for at hjælpe ham med at føle sig tryg og vejlede ham, mens han lærer om livet i et hjem. At have en hundeven ved sin side vil være særligt vigtigt, mens han fortsat opbygger tillid til mennesker. Otis har brug for et roligt, stille hjem uden børn, med adoptanter, der har erfaring med skræmte tidligere avlshunde, og som forstår, hvor meget tid og tålmodighed de har brug for. Han har aldrig boet i et hjem før, så han får brug for hjælp til at lære alt om hjemmelivet, herunder rene vaner. Han har også brug for en sikker have med et hegn på mindst 6 fod (ca. 1,8 meter), så han er tryg, mens han får selvtillid. Otis er begyndt med seletræning hos sin kennelmor, og denne træning skal fortsætte i hans nye hjem i et langsomt og behageligt tempo. Den skal introduceres gradvist, begyndende i et trygt miljø, og han skal have lov til at udvikle sig i sit eget tempo. Otis er en speciel lille dreng, der prøver så hårdt på at være modig. Med tålmodige, forstående adoptanter og en selvsikker hundeven tror vi, at han har potentiale til at udvikle sig til en sjov, kærlig og givende ledsager. Han har brug for en familie, der er villig til at fejre de mindste fremskridt og give ham den tid, han behøver, for at opdage, at verden kan være et vidunderligt sted. Otis har et rejsedokument. Denne hund kan placeres i et hjem med en hund.

Otis has come to us from a breeder to find his forever home. He is an extremely nervous boy who is still finding the world a very scary place and is utterly petrified of human touch. When he first arrived, he would do everything he could to avoid being touched, frantically running around the yard to escape contact. Although he was interested in people, he simply didn't feel brave enough to let them close. Otis is now making small but lovely steps forward, although he is still extremely worried about touch, with those who he knows very well he will tentatively accept chin tickles, though is still very worried about this. He still needs to build his confidence, and getting him comfortable with human hands will be a slow process that is likely to continue well into his new home. His adopters must be prepared to work at his pace, without rushing or putting pressure on him. Although he is still quite worried, he can be quite unsettled when people leave his kennel and so may develop separation anxiety in his home. He will need adopters who are happy to work with him on this, helping him to feel more comfortable and gradually building up the time he can be left alone. With patience, consistency and lots of reassurance, we hope he will soon learn that he is safe and doesn't need to worry when his people leave him. At just one year old, Otis has plenty of typical Labrador puppy character waiting to shine through. He loves tennis balls and soft toys and is still figuring out how to play fetch! As his confidence grows, we're beginning to see more of his funny, silly personality, and we hope there is lots more to come. Otis absolutely adores other dogs and takes great comfort and reassurance from their company. He will need at least one kind and confident resident dog in his new home to help him feel safe and guide him as he learns about life in a home. Having a canine friend by his side will be particularly important while he continues to build trust in people. Otis will need a calm, quiet, adult-only home with adopters who have experience with scared ex-breeding dogs and understand the time and patience they need. He has never lived in a home before, so he will need help learning all about home life, including house training. He will also need a secure garden with fencing of at least 6ft to keep him safe while he gains confidence. Otis has started harness training with his kennel mummy, and this will need to continue in his home at a slow and comfortable pace. This will need to be introduced gradually, starting in a safe environment and allowing him to progress at his own pace. Otis is a special little boy who is trying so hard to be brave. With patient, understanding adopters and a confident canine companion, we believe he has the potential to blossom into a fun, loving and rewarding companion. He will need a family willing to celebrate the smallest steps forward and give him the time he needs to discover that the world can be a wonderful place. Otis has a travel document. This dog can be homed with a resident dog.
