About This Dog for Adoption
Nicky's ideal home
One year old Beagle crossbreed Nicky is full of so much fun and energy and will make a great addition to a family. Despite only having 3 legs he still enjoys getting out and about for sniffy walks, he thrives on going for new adventures where there are lots of smells to explore, Nicky's foster carer has said that even when he is lying half asleep his nose is still twitching as he sniffs the air! When out walking he can be strong on the lead so his foster carer is teaching him how to walk more politely. In his new home it would be ideal for someone to be around initially until he settles into his new routine and surroundings but over time he can gradually be left alone for longer periods of time. Due to a recent hind leg amputation Nicky still needs some physical stimulation in the form of walks but due to being a busy breed and a young boy he thrives on any extra training and mental stimulation which really helps him to settle. He enjoys puzzle feeders and having a variety of chew toys to work at throughout the day. Nicky could live with children who understand that as much as he likes to run and play that he does need time to rest as he will get more tired due to only having 3 legs and that he can be strong at times. He can share his new home with other dogs pending successful meets at the centre.
Could you be Nicky's perfect match?
Nicky is looking for a home that can keep him busy with plenty of games and training, in particular those where he can use his nose and sniff. In the evenings he likes to lie on the sofa, get some neck scratches or sunbathe in the garden and catch those last few rays of sunshine. His foster carer has reported that Nicky is housetrained. If Nicky sounds like your perfect match, then please include him as a 'Favourite' dog when completing your application. Thank you!
