About This Dog

Yankee's ideal home

If you are looking for a cuddly companion to be your new best friend, Yankee is the one for you! He is a sweet older gentleman of 9 years old who loves a short sniffy walk followed by various naps and cwtches with his favourite people around the house. He loves socialising and could happily live in a home with another dog (although he can be a bit intense with his sniffing sometimes). This gentle boy can live with children as young as 4 years old and is looking for a reasonably busy home where he can just get all the attention he deserves. Once Yankee has settled himself into a routine he can be left for 4-6 hours with a break, as he is housetrained, but will need reminding at first.

Could you be Yankee's perfect match?

Yankee travels well in the car and would make an excellent companion to take to the pub or a cafe - if you don't mind him stealing the spotlight. He walks very well on lead and is happy with a couple of short, sniffy walks per day, to keep him active. Yankee is currently in foster with one of our amazing Canine Carers who have said he is the absolute dream in the home! His confidence wasn't the best when he first came into our care and it's wonderful to see his true personality shine through with the new routine and home comforts. Yankee is still a little unsure of formal handling so isn't a fan of the groomers and vet visits. Sometimes he can involuntarily wee in these situations and can get understandably quite stressed. For this reason, his handlers and foster carer are working on muzzle training with him in order to keep him safe in these environments. Once you've met Yankee and seen his famous excited bum wiggles, you won't want to ever say good bye. We can't wait for this gorgeous angel to find his forever home.
