About Sid
Meet Sid.
Sid has had a very unsettled start to life.
Born into a puppy farm, Sid spent the beginning of his young life living in a mud pen inside a barn with no natural light and very little exposure to the world most dogs know. Because of that, many everyday things are still new to him. He is learning, but he will need patient, committed adopters who understand that trust, confidence and progress will take time.
Once Sid feels safe, he is a very affectionate little man. He forms lovely bonds with his people, enjoys sleeping on the bed, and quietly likes being close by.
He gets along beautifully with other dogs, both large and small, and would likely benefit from a calm, confident canine companion in his new home.
Sid uses puppy pads and will also toilet outside when he has easy access. He can be nervous around food and prefers to eat when left alone, but settles and eats well when given space.
He travels well in the car and is excellent when visiting the vet.
Walking is still something Sid feels unsure about. For that reason, we strongly recommend no walks until his new family has built complete trust and he feels fully secure in his environment.
Sid is looking for a calm, understanding home with people who can continue gently showing him how to live his best life.
Sid’s ideal home:
* No children
* No full-time workers
* No apartments
* Untested with cats
* A home with a playful sociable dog - this is NON-NEGOTIABLE
Sid is not a “ready-made” dog. He is a young dog who missed out on a normal start and needs people willing to continue his training, build his confidence and celebrate the small wins. For the right home, watching him discover safety, comfort and happiness will be something very special.

Adoption details
Thank you for your interest in adopting through our rescue.
If you are shortlisted, a member of our team will be in touch within 7–10 working days. Due to the high volume of applications we receive, we are unfortunately unable to enter into correspondence with unsuccessful applicants.
Shortlisted applicants will participate in a phone interview to help us assess the suitability of the home for the individual dog. The needs of each dog are our priority, and we will only proceed where we feel there is a strong match.
Successful applicants will have a meet and greet at a mutually convenient time with the foster carer. This will include introductions to all household members and any existing pets, as well as a property/fence check.
If all goes well, the dog may begin a 14-day trial period in the home to ensure the match is the right fit for both the dog and adopter. An adoption form will be completed and the adoption fee paid at this stage (fully refundable within the trial period if the placement is not suitable).
All relevant veterinary and adoption documentation will be provided upon successful completion of the trial period.
