Adopter Sunny
Krydsede raser · Mand · Voksen · 5 år
Sunny blev oprindeligt født i Rumænien og reddet fra et offentligt slagtedyrshelter af en anden charity. Desværre fungerede det hjem, hvor han blev fundet, ikke, så han er kommet til os for at finde ham en anden chance for glæde. Sunny blev født i Rumænien og rejste over til Storbritannien som en ung hund. Han boede i omkring 1 år i et hjem, inden vi blev kontaktet med at de ikke kunne holde ham mere. Sunny er en spændende dreng, han er bange og hilser folk op med et tæt dalmatiner-lignende smil. Det er venligt, men det viser os også, at han kan være bekymret på tidspunkter. Han vil bygge et fantastisk band med de mennesker, han lærer at stole på. Han bliver super glad, når nogle af vores frivillige kommer ind til deres arbejdsplads, og alt hvad han vil gøre er at bruge tid med dem! Når Sunny kender dig, er han en meget kærlig dreng og elsker en god pibestik. Han kan være bekymret for nye mennesker, så vi har gradvist introduceret ham til flere frivillige på vagt. Sunny elsker sine promenader, men over månederne har han været mere bekymret for fremmede og trafik og reagerer ved at skrige på dem. Vi har arbejdet med dette, og vi har fået ham til at gå i lang tid uden reaktioner eller se på ting, som han normalt ville skrige over - men derefter vende sig til sin vejleder for en lille belønning for at være modig og ikke reagere på noget. Han er en meget intelligent dreng, men har rigtig startet at miste selvtilliden, han skal bare lære, at ikke altid er noget ude at skade ham, og at han nu er sikker med sin vejleder/nye ejer. Dette er stadig i gang, og træning skal fortsætte med hans nye familie. Sunny har en meget grundlæggende træning og giver hånd og sæt for belønninger, han ved også, hvordan man "rører" og giver øjenkontakt, når du siger hans navn. Han synes rigtig godt om træning, så vi anbefaler stærkt, at potentielle adopterere fortsætter dette med ham, da det virker som om det gør ham mere selvsikker. Desværre har Sunny også nogle beskyttelsesproblemer. Det ligner næsten ren panik, hvis han tror, at du vil have ham til at gøre noget, som han ikke vil, f.eks.: at flytte ham fra soffen eller hvis han tror, at du vil tage noget væk fra ham, som han gerne vil have, især med mad. Vi stiller ham aldrig i disse situationer i redningsstationen, men han beskytter stadig det, han elsker. Han vil give dig alle signalerne for at fortælle dig, at han er ubevægelig med situationen, han behøver nogen, der lytter til disse signaler og ikke presser ham til at tage handling, fordi han ikke har været hørt. Nogen med erfaring med hunde med beskyttelsesproblemer vil være et stor fordele, dog vil en adfærdsforsker også være en stor fordel for at give Sunny den bedste mulighed for at sætte sig ind i et nyt hjem. Sunny kan blive meget glad for at møde spillende og venlige hunde og har vist sig at være en af vores bedste hunde at blande med andre i kasserne. Han kan være for meget for nogle roligere hunde på grund af hans energiske spilstil. Sunny har mange hunde i redningsstationen, som han elsker at gå ud og gå med, og han elsker at møde andre hunde ud og omkring, men nogle gange kan han være reaktiv, især med mandhunde. Sunny har vist nogle beskyttelsesadfærder omkring legetøj og mad, og derfor vil han have fordele af at leve som en alene hund, men kan have hundevennersom uden for hjemmet, når han er indrettet. Sunny er kandidat til fostermægling med henblik på adoption. Dette proces er meget lig adoption, ansøgeren skal have intentionen til at adoptere Sunny og skal reservere ham, adoptionsteamet vil give ansøgeren og Sunny masse support, mens han sætter sig ind i hjemmet. Fostermægling skal vare ca. 4 uger, og efter denne tid, hvis han sætter sig godt, begynder adoptionen. Sunny har vist nogle beskyttelsesadfærder i sit tidligere hjem, og derfor vil en erfaren ejer, der er villig til at tage råd fra personale, være perfekt for ham. Sunny er en hund, der har meget kærlighed at give, og vi ønsker ingenting mere end at se ham sukkede og leve et gladeligt liv i sit faste hjem. Det er muligt, at Sunny måske skal have operation på den anden knæ, men han gør det godt nu, og vi arbejder for at give ham daglige promenader for at holde hans muskelmasse. Bedste tilfælde er, at der ikke vil være behov for flere operationer på den anden knæ, og at den anden ben vil være stærk nok til at understøtte dem begge.

Sunny was originally born in Romania and rescued from a public kill shelter by another charity. Unfortunately, the home they found him didn't work out so he has come to us to try and find him his second chance at happiness. Sunny was born in Romania and travelled across to the UK as a young pup. He spent roughly 1 year in a home before we were contacted to say they could no longer keep him. Sunny is a quirky boy, he is anxious and will greet people with a toothy dalmation-like smile. This is friendly but it does show us that he can be worried at times. He will create a brilliant bond with the people that he learns he can trust. He becomes super excited when some of our volunteers come in for their shift and all he wants to do is spend time his with them! When Sunny knows you, he is a very affectionate boy and enjoys a good tickle. He can be worried at times about new people and so we have been gradually introducing him to more volunteers on shift. Sunny absolutely loves his walks but over the months he has got more worried with strangers and traffic and can react by barking at them. We have been working on this and we have got him to the point were he can go for a long perioud of time with no reactions or he will look at the things he'd normally kick off at - but then look back at his handler for a little treat for being brave and not reacting in any way. He is a very intelligent boy but really has started to lack in confidence, he just needs to learn that not everything is out to hurt him and that he is now safe with his handler / new owner. This is all a work in progress though and training will need to continue with his new family. Sunny does have a very basic level of training and will give paw and sit for treats, he also knows how to 'touch' and give eye contact when you say his name. He seems to enjoy training a lot so we highly recommend that his potential adopter continues this with him as it does seem to give him extra confidence. Unfortunately, Sunny does also have some guarding issues. It's almost like pure panic sets in if he believes you're going to make him do something that he doesn't want for example: moving him off the sofa or if he thinks you're going to take something away from him that he wants, this is especially the case with food. We never put him in these situations at the rescue but he will still protect what he enjoys. He will give you all of the signals to tell you that he is uncomfortable with the situation, he needs someone that will listen to those signals and not push him into thinking he has to take action because he hasn't been listened to. Someone with experience with dogs with guarding issues would be a huge bonus however a behaviourist would also be of a huge benefit to give Sunny the best possible start of settling into a new home. Sunny can get very excited to meet playful and friendly dogs and he's turned out to be one of our best dogs to mix the others with in kennels. He can be too much for some quieter dogs due to his very energic play style. Sunny has lots of dogs at the rescue that he loves going out for walks with and tends to enjoy meeting other dogs out and about although the occasional dog, he can be reactive too, especially in tact males. Sunny has displayed some guarding behaviour around toys and food and therefore will benefit from living as an only dog, but can have dog friends outside of the home when he has settled. Sunny is a candidate for Foster with a view to Adoption. This process is very similar to adoption, the applicant must have the intention to adopt Sunny and will be required to reserve him, the adoptions team will provide the applicant and Sunny lots of support whilst he is settling into the home. Foster is to last around 4 weeks, and after this time, if he is settling well the adoption will commence. Sunny has displayed some guarding behaviours in his previous home, and so an experienced owner that is happy to take on advice from staff will be brilliant for him. Sunny is a dog that has a lot of love to give and we want nothing more than to see him succeed and live a happy life in his forever home. He may require multiple meets with an applicant before reservation can go ahead. Sunny underwent surgery April 2022 for cruciate disease and luxating patella in his hind left leg. He was on cage rest for 12 weeks. This was such a big thing for Sunny. It was so important that his mind was kept active during this stage to prevent him getting bored and acquiring any behavioural issues. Time, patience, love and care is what this boy needs. He did so well and we are really proud of him for it. It is possible that Sunny may require surgery on the other knee too however, he is doing great at the moment and we are working to give him daily walks to keep up his muscle mass. Best case scenario is that there will be no need for more surgery on the other knee and that the other leg will be strong enough to support them both.
