Dudley *On Trial in His New Home*

*DUDLEY IS CURRENTLY TRIALING HIS NEW HOME - NO MORE ENQUIRIES/APPLICATIONS PLEASE* All Dudley wants for his upcoming 10th birthday is a home, though preferably a lap, to call his own; will it be with you?

If you’ve been looking for the companionship of a wonderful pet, and understand that age is no barrier to love this handsome dog will make you fall in love all over again if you can just see past his greying muzzle and into his wonderful heart!

At almost 10 years young Dudley still has plenty of life in him yet, apart from having a few teeth removed he is in excellent health. Sadly his beloved elderly owner took ill leaving him needing a new forever home, so we’ve promised to find Dudley somewhere special where he can chill and enjoy his twilight years. Dudley is loveable, happy and totally thrives on human contact and likes being spoilt. He loves a romp and a play especially when there are doggie toys involved and is quite good at a game of fetch. Although he’s in care with other dogs Dudley’s ultimate home would be where he’s the only dog and it’s all about him as that’s what he’s used to ……but in saying that he wouldn’t mind sharing a home with a cat or even a bird as they don’t faze him at all.

Generously affectionate, this gorgeous fella still manages to bring joy to most people who meet him though please be aware he’s not so good with little children having never experienced life with one, so the bigger the child the better. Dudley’s manners are pretty good, he doesn’t normally jump up on people unless he’s asked to and he absolutely loves going for a walk and is terrific on a lead. He is not a “yapper” though does give a warning bark or growl if something’s not right in his world.

Being a Maltese x Shih Tzu Dudley doesn’t lose any hair though he’ll require a good brush once a week and a clip a few times a year to keep his coat in tip-top condition. As he has always enjoyed an indoor / outdoor lifestyle we’d want to see this continued in his forever home – he only had a couple of ‘accidents’ while learning the household routine and mastering the doggie door. He also sleeps at night in a crate in his foster carer’s bedroom which he quickly got the hang of.
