Can I live with other dogs? | I am okay with some dogs when interacting out on a walk - at the Sanctuary I have met two dogs who I have gotten on well with on lead but I would be better suited as the ONLY Pet within the home, as I require a dog experienced owner to dedicate their time to my training. |
Can I live with teenagers? |
Yes |
Can I live with young children? |
No - I can sometimes guard objects such as toys/chews - with the proper training from my Adult Handlers, there are ways to best manage this via professional advise from ACGAS. |
Do I have any medical issues? |
No |
Can I live with cats? |
No |
Am I good on the lead? |
Yes |
Dale is a very bouncy, lively Patterdale that lives up to the terrier name! He requires an active owner who can dedicate time too his training and provide him with the active lifestyle he requires.
Sadly we do not know a great deal about Dale's background as he was advertised for free online, after his previous owner only had him for four months. The Staff and Volunteers at ACGAS spend time with Dale on a regular basis but he is not coping well with kennel life as he is still very isolated and not receiving the true enrichment that he needs. As mentioned above, Dale does have the potential too get on with other dogs whilst out on walks (on lead), as we have witnessed this but we do not know what he is like in a home environment and therefore, believe he should be the ONLY Pet.
Dale's personality we would describe as a cheeky, happy chappy who knows cues such as "sit" and "spin", he will do anything for a tasty treat! Dale also being a Patterdale breed, loves to shred toys and would benefit from enrichment such as snuffle matts and stuffed toilet rolls that he can tear apart.
