Sooty

Sooty's ideal home

Sooty is a sweet chap who loves the company of people but likes to build up a bond at his own pace. A gentle approach is needed when first making friends, but you'll know when you've earned his trust, as Sooty will nudge into your hands when he wants a fuss! Sooty can be uncomfortable with more ‘formal’ types of handling such as going to the vets, so does need to wear a muzzle on this occasion. The youngest members of his family must be in their later teens. Quieter walks will be required for Sooty, as he is currently underconfident when it comes to meeting other dogs. He must be the only dog at home and is also unable to live with any cats, house rabbits, or guinea pigs. A private garden of his own is essential. Sooty is currently receiving medication for possible hip-pain.

Could you be Sooty's perfect match?

This endearing six-year-old has a lot of love to give! His perfect match would be with understanding adopters, who have the patience to build up a loving bond. He likes to offer a lovely ‘sit’, or ‘paw’ in exchange for a tasty treat, and this is a great way to begin making friends with him. As well as spending time with his favourite people, Sooty loves exploring the outdoors and pottering about in exciting new places! He's always keen to learn and is making great progress with his training with support from his carers.
