About Joshy the Lover! (Humans and other dogs)
Joshy is a gentle soul who's had a rough start to life but he absolutely LOVES people and other dogs! This very cuddly man who loves nothing more than to hang out with his people and have naps. If he can get a tummy rub in while he’s at it, Joshy will love you!
Joshy is NOT suitable to a home with young children or cats.
Joshy gets along with other dogs, although he would do just fine as an only dog in the home. He can be quite boisterous when playing with other pups, but when inside the home, he is very respectful of the house and will not run around like a mad man. He just needs work on reading other dogs behaviour and respecting their boundaries. Indeed, he's very calm inside and just wants to watch you doing things and hang out, so you won’t have to worry about having any belongings chewed up. Josh is a star!
Joshy walks well on the lead, although does get over excited when seeing other dogs out and about. He is a food-motivated pup, so if you keep some treats handy he will be in the palm of your hand and willing to learn. This boy needs space to run, whether that be a large interesting yard, acreage, or very active owner who'll ride their bike or jog with him often in order for him to let his energy out. Training sessions with our behaviourists will be provided during the trial for potential adopters.
Joshy has even been crate trained - he settles into his crate with a yummy bone when his foster carer leaves the house and for bed time. Having a crate for him will certainly help him settle in to his new home!
Joshy loves running around outside, playing with toys. Squeaky toys are his favourite!
Joshy's about 33kg and not heavy set but stands quite tall so needs need high fences to make sure he doesn't use those lanky legs to jump.
Joshy would be best suited to an owner who's ready to train him into his full potential! And who wants a deeply bonded, loyal best friend in Joshy the Lover.
Is Joshy your Forever Friend?
Medical notes
Josh is a very healthy guy - he's desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, flea and worm-treated.
