This is our wonderful Roo, a gorgeous 7 year old Airedale boy.  He is a typical Airedale and has a wonderful enthusiasm for life and a sweet temperament.  Roo came to us as an emergency.  His owner passed away, and the family were leaving him all day in a cellar.  He was not coping and the family decided to put him to sleep.  A volunteer begged them to give them a few days to find an option – and we were called and we stepped in and he has gone into foster in Norfolk

We do not want to focus on his past – but it has affected him and we are slowly helping build his confidence and giving him guidance so he can enjoy life to the full.  Roo is 7 years old, very enthusiastic – but any loud sounds/bangs sends him running.  He startles quite easy, and is slowly building trust in his foster – in time he will understand that his family is there to protect him and care for him.  He is worried about being left and will need very patient understanding – we feel he will eventually be able to be left – but this will take time – and trust and work.

Roo has no problem with other dogs – but he gets very excited indoors and will push limits.  As he will require a family that puts their focus on him – we feel it would be better if he was an only dog.  

He walks well on lead, travels well in the car, loves playing, is sweet and cheeky as any proper Airedale should be.  Roo doesnt need any training ,but he will need guidance and a family that has the time and patience to help him findhis faith in people again.
