Shadow *On Trial*

*shadow is currently trialling his new home* shadow and his brother, paddy, are 2 healthy, happy puppies sarg recently rescued from our local pound and are now looking for their forever homes!!

there were 6 pups surrendered to the pound at 8 weeks of age as their owner had managed to find homes for some yet not quite all of them (4 of them now have homes thanks to other rescue groups!). Their mother is a purebred golden labrador and their owner thinks it was a neighbouring shepherd x who jumped the fence and “got to her” which would explain why shadow is all black and a little fluffy while the others are golden in colour like their mum. All of the pups have lovely, friendly nature’s and get along well with their carers other dogs both big and small and are used to being handled (cuddled!) by adults as well as children making them pretty much “bomb proof”. All of the pups love food and aren’t fussy so hopefully this will help with their training. Laidback pup shadow got his name not only for his colour but he loves to follow you around! he’s a gorgeous snuggle-bunny who really enjoys human company as well as a good game of tug-o-war playing with his siblings or just sleeping the day away in a sunny spot like puppies do! he’s definitely the biggest pup of the litter and we reckon he’s got the “awwwwwww” factor big time to match; he’s such an adorable teddy bear!!!

while in care shadow will learn the basics such as “sit” and “down” and how to walk on a lead. As he’s only a young pup he will require ongoing obedience training as well as socialisation with other dogs so he grows up to have lovely manners! daily walks, secure fencing, bones to chew on and toys to keep shadow stimulated are also a necessity so he doesn’t get bored and up to mischief as labs are prone to do. Shadow will be on the large side once he finishes growing. Shadow would be best suited to an indoor / outdoor lifestyle with either a doggie companion to learn from or on his own but only if he won’t be left alone for long periods of time especially while he’s a pup.
