Adoptera Archie

Archie is a young Lurcher with a cheeky personality, who is looking for new owners with time to dedicate to helping him settle and learn some boundaries at home. Archie is a wonderfully fun, vibrant dog and is very intelligent – this means he picks up training quickly but he is also quick to find his own amusement if he is left to his own devices. One of his favourite things is to help himself to items that are not his, so his owners will need to be one step ahead of him. He does settle with a chew but does need to be given direction and structure to his routine. He loves his walks and sniffing around. He can at times bark and pull towards dogs and this is an area that will need management and training at home, and is not something that will improve overnight. He’d be best living in an area where there are not too many dogs walking past his house, and being walked in areas where his owners can give him plenty of space away from dogs to help his training. Despite this, he can greet dogs nicely when he’s calm and, in order to stop him getting too frustrated, he’d like some calmer dog friends that he can walk with. Archie is playful with toys and has been known to throw them around in the air and then pounce on them. He should be given plenty of his own toys at home, including some hardwearing chews as he does enjoy these. Archie does not like being left alone at home and needs a home with multiple people to be able to support him with this. As he settles, he’ll need to get used to spending very short periods of time alone and this can then be built up. He can be destructive and is agile enough to get up onto worktops and tables so should be left in a safe, secure area that he’s familiar with. This lovely chap is really affectionate and gentle overall and we’re sure that in a home that fully accepts his quirks and needs, he’ll bring lots of smiles.
