SHARK
Little Shark arrived with his brother Finn, who has since been adopted, after one of the volunteers at the pound found them running along the main road when they were small puppies. Shark has already been a friendly puppy that enjoys human attention and cuddles. He is a good boy who would make a lovely little companion. He has already learnt to walk well on the lead and has also been to an event at a pet shop where he was a little star.
In December Shark was very lucky to go into a foster home due to the pound flooded. His foster tell us:
“Shark is really good and sweet with people. He loves cuddles on the sofa. He does the necessity’s on the mat in the terrace or during walks. He knows some basics commands.
We have another young male dog and Shark is really good with him. The two dogs bring too much energy to each other. They can’t be left alone together, but separately is fine.
He is really sweet, but at same time we need to admit we are not a perfect fit for him. We believe he needs more space then we can offer him and maybe more experience family too.”
After about a month in foster, Shark returned to the pound. He is now a big puppy, and still very playful. He shares a cage with lots of other dogs and during the day when they go out on the patio for their daily break from the cage, Shark will spend all time playing. He plays with his friends, but he is also really good at entertaining himself if he has a toy.
When he goes out for a walk, he is a bit stressed/excited, (as it happens so rarely), he doesn’t seem bothered by cars, people or horses passing by him. He is happy to stop for a break in the shade and have a drink of water and some treats.
Shark has grown up at the pound in a cage, he needs a family with patience, that will teach him how to live in a home and give him the love he never has felt.
Shark is available for adoption in the UK. Homecheck and adoption fee apply. Adoption fee includes neutering, passport, microchip, all vaccinations, blood tests to screen for diseases, worm and flea treatment.
