Hi, I’m Dude
Meet Dude, a gentle soul with a heart full of potential. At three years old, Dude is a sweet and loving boy who is still discovering the world around him. He's looking for a caring adopter who understands that he needs patience, time, and gentle guidance to thrive.
Dude was the victim of a hoarding situation where multiple dogs were housed in small cages. He has not seen much of the world & needs the opportunity to build trust, bond with that special someone & discover this new world.
Personality & Needs:
- Loving but shy: Dude is a lovely boy, though he lacks confidence and can be unsure of new environments and people.
- Sensitive to loud noises: He startles easily with sudden sounds or changes, so a calm, quiet household will help him feel safe.
- Building trust: Due to his past experiences, Dude needs time to process new situations and build positive associations with people, places, and things.
- Dog socialisation: Slow, supervised introductions to other dogs is recommended.
- Walks & environment: He's comfortable harnessed and on walks but can sometimes be a bit worried by his surroundings. A patient handler will help him feel more secure.
Household & Lifestyle:
- Quiet, calm environment: Dude will flourish in a calm, non-chaotic household.
- Exercise & enrichment: Regular walks, mental stimulation, and enriching activities will help him gain confidence and burn off energy.
- Clean & quiet: He keeps his pen tidy and is not destructive or noisy.
- Family considerations: Older kids or teens preferred, as he benefits from a peaceful, understanding household.
Compatibility:
- Other dogs: He may be able to live with a calm, sociable female dog after proper introductions. His comfort around other dogs varies, so meet and greets are essential.
Ideal Home:
Dude is looking for a patient, experienced dog owner who can give him the time he needs to adjust and build trust. With consistent care, gentle socialisation, and a peaceful environment, he has the potential to become a loyal and loving companion.
If you think you can provide Dude with the understanding and stable home he needs, please contact us to arrange a meet. He's ready to find his forever family!
