Update January 2023
Freddy has settled well in kennels, he has a nice routine and loves the ladies. We have gotten to know Freddy and he is turning into a delightful dog. He likes his people , he loves his toys, and he loves his treats and chews. He has met a lot of new people and is always happy to meet them. Freddy could go to the right home – this home would be a calm, child free and most importantly a dog free home. Freddy HATES ALL OTHER DOGS. So a home where he could have his own garden to potter around in and his own family to live with would be ideal. He is not the dog that goes for walks or trips to the pub – if he sees another dog – the red mist descends. He has had problems with grooming – but now we can wash and scissor him – except his face – but he is a work in progress
Freddy came to the U.K. from Romania with another rescue – he was placed in a flat in a busy town centre – and unfortunately he was finding it difficult to cope. He was becoming anxious and his behaviour with other dogs was escalating. As he was in a flat – the family were finding it hard to manage his needs and walking was becoming very difficult.
The rescue approached us as they did not have a suitable solution for him. We agreed to take him and we moved him to kennels in NOrfolk.
Freddy is approx 5 years old – he really is a rural type dog. He loves his people and his open spaces – but he cannot manage busy lives- he also hates dogs. He really cannot be trusted around other dogs.
As he is doing well with the volunteers – we would consider a home that has a suitable garden and has no intention of walking him. We will give full support to any prospective family but it is with the understanding his world remains small
He did have some issues with his former home – he did not like being groomed, could be possessive over food – but we have not had any of these issues with him in kennels.
We are working on his anxiety levels – and as he calms and realises the world is not a threatening place – he will slowly improve his behaviour around other dogs.
He will turn into the wonderful dog we know he is – but it will require a lot of support.
If you feel you could be this home for him – then please apply. But due to his history we will expect several visits and also sessions with our volunteers.
