Harry

Do you ever think to yourself, “You know, I have always wanted my own Shadow”? I can fix that! I LOVE my special person and want to be as close to them as possible, almost all of the time.

My name is Harry and I am a Poodle who is 2 year and 4 months old and I am currently 4.8kgs

I am came into care because my elderly human passed away – I was very loved but I was not really socialized with a lot of people and my home was a very quiet home so noises and meeting new people can be scary. If you can give me some time to settle I really do blossom and you will have a friend for life.

I am looking for a home where my humans will continue to work on my confidence, I can be nervous meeting new people and need to be allowed to come to them at my own speed.

Another dog being in the home will also help me settle and show me that humans are okay. I have not been abused I had just not many people at my old home so meeting new people can be overwhelming.

I’m sweet and snuggly, funny and lively. I’m also terrific company, happy to lie quietly at your feet while you work or in your lap while we Netflix and chill.

I’m friendly with other dogs, and live with other small breed at my foster home, they have taught me how to play and once I'm comfy I love to play, I would like another small breed dog to keep me company but not be overbearing or one that is not keen on sharing their humans with me.

I do enjoy playing with the other small breed dog here, zoomies and playing with toys with my foster fur sibling. Big breed dogs do make me nervous.

I dont have separation anxiety - but I would love a home where my human works from home, is at home, retired or shift workers - I like a human home with me - if you do go out I will be at the front door doing a happy dance when you get home.

I’m toilet trained and can happily go outside to the toilet.

While I am still young when I came into care the rescue did have to do dental work on me - I had 28 teeth removed - yep that's right 28 - but now I am happy to eat dry food and some good health wet food. The difference in me is huge now that I don't have dental pain.

I have been around kids but I would probably do better in a home with kids over 5 – if kids are too full on that can make me nervous.

I am untested with cats but my foster mum says i have a lovely nature so shouldn't be a issue at all.

I have been learning to walk on a lead since coming into care and while getting the hang of it I will see need my family to keep working on that with me, I do prefer my humans to be in front of me when I walk.

I love to sleep on the bed with my humans and really want that to be at my furever home as well pls.

I do have a coat that requires brushing daily and grooming every 6 – 8 weeks, so please keep this in mind when applying as it’s an ongoing expense.

I am hoping that my dream family is reading this and know that while it might be a bit bumpy for the first week or so with me being nervous that they know I am so worth it!
