Meet adorable Bullseye 🎯

Bullseye had virtually no human contact before coming into foster care so is understandably nervous around new people and in new places. We are working on this and his confidence improves in leaps and bounds every day.

He is a bundle of energy, loves running and galloping around playing with his toys. He loves a good game of tug of war as well, he super strong a little guy! He doesn't bark too often at the moment, only when he is really excited in playing. He also loves a good snuggle and getting his tummy scratched. He likes to give lots of kisses so beware!. Bullseye also loves exploring the yard. He needs lots of interaction to keep him happy.

Bullseye is a very intelligent puppy. He is crate trained and sleeps through the night. He goes in there for his meals and treats and when he wants to nap. Bullseye will put himself in his crate when feeling overwhelmed as it’s his safe place so it’s super important his new home utilises his crate training to help him to adjust in his new home.
He is also mostly toilet trained to use puppy pads however being a puppy this is ongoing.

He is still learning to walk on a leash and take car rides without being fearful but we are confident that this will improve with lots more positive adventures. Bullseye has a lot to learn about the world and needs a family to show him how much fun the world is. This will take time and lots of training/confidence building.

Bullseye needs a lot of on going socialisation with people and dogs this is critical.
He is very wary with new dogs and takes a while to warm up to them.
A home with a confident stable well socialised dog would be perfect for him but not a deal breaker. Please note dog parks is NOT a controlled environment and would set him back further as its overwhelming. He needs lots of controlled play dates with dog social dogs where he can slowly and calmly be introduced to them. Puppy school would be hugely beneficial for him also

Bullseye has been around cats and does need on going training around them as his manners can be a little rude at times to the cats

Bullseye is such a sweet guy and is worth every extra bit of effort he requires
Bullseye has already started puppy school with his foster mum but we would love his family to continue this

Please note Bullseye is a mix of working breeds and will be a medium sized dog full grown he is already very tall.
It is super important that he goes to a family experienced with working dogs as just a walk is not enough they need a lot of mental stimulation aswell.
