I would like a home with adults only, or with older children. The reason for this is due to my nipping and mouthing behaviour. Me and children would struggle to understand each others behaviour so I’d just prefer not to have young ones in my home. I can very easily become overstimulated and it is a lot of work to get me to calm down, which children may not be able to understand and they may make my behaviours worse without meaning to, therefore it would just be in my best interests not to share my home with them. I am young enough to be trained and therefore could be around occasional visiting children for some supervised playtime.

I need patient owners that will help me overcome my overstimulated nipping and mouthing and not make it worse. My foster carer can give pointers on this.

I could live with another well mannered dog (must be neutered and vaccinated). The reason for this is that it will help me with my socialisation, at such a young age. When I first arrived at my foster carers, she could see a lot of my energy was pent up and I was desperate to play but I just didn’t know how. I have been learning how to play with my foster sister and although we love to wrestle at times, she has taught me so much. Being able to live with her has given me invaluable social skills and this needs to continue in future homes with resident dogs or by taking me out with canine friends.

I can live with confident, dog-savvy cats (neutered and vaccinated). I can chase if cats run away, so they must be cats that will tell me clearly to leave them alone, and I will listen.

I am crate trained and my carers would recommend using the crate in the home to begin with.

I can be left up to 4 hours. As long as I get enough exercise and stimulation, I am absolutely fine with being left for this long and will not bark/cry.
