03-10-2024 Dave is a stunning boy who has come to us from a breeder and is finding his new environment a bit overwhelming. He is very worried about our intentions and wary of being handled but he has found help from his kennel friends and with their help is beginning to understand our routine. At the moment although Dave isn't that trusting of us, he has been brave enough to already let us groom him and over the next few days, we're sure he'll begin to understand that we're not so bad. He has arrived with cherry eyes that our vet has repaired. Dave would benefit from adopters that are experienced with the Chow breed and can help him settle into home life and give him the security and guidance he needs to flourish. Dave must live in an adult only home without any visiting children and at least one resident dog who he can learn from. Dave will need help with housetraining but does know how to walk on a lead.

Dave had his cherry eye repaired it did reoccur but he has now had it repaired for a second time but he is recovering well!

31-10-2024 UPDATE

Dave has been with us for about a month now, and the changes he has made within that month are remarkable. He came to us scared, untrusting and unwilling to be handled, and now he is full of confidence, friendly, allows being picked up to sit on your lap, and is just genuinely a completely different dog. He walks on harness and goes for short walks with people he knows or trusts. When introducing him to new people he is a little more scared, but after a few minutes of patience with him he soon warms to new people. Dave is currently kennelled with a few other dogs for friends for him, so although he is more confident now, he would still need a resident dog for company in his new home. Dave is full of fun and mischief and all he wants is a family that he can love and be the dog that all dogs should have the chance to be.

Dave is our gorgeous happy chow cross! Dave has been with us for over a month now and I think it’s about time he finds his forever home! He is initially a little timid on the first meeting but once you’ve gained his trust he is the sweetest boy who loves lots and lots of attention, fuss and treats! Dave has become a bit of a fan favourite amongst the staff here at many tears due to his bubbly and confident manor. Although he is confident we would love to see him go to a home with a resident dog who can help Dave’s confidence grow from strength to strength! Dave unfortunately has never lived in a home before and therefore will need basic house training skills taught to him and therefore will need patient owners who are willing to give the time and dedication needed to look after our sweet boy. He’s started walking well on the lead but his lead walking skills could also do with refining.

Poor Dave's cherry eye re-occured once again so he has had to have this repaired for the third time. We are hoping it's 3rd time lucky for Dave! He is recovering well.

Davey davey daveyyyyy… why is this sweet lad still waiting for his forever home? Dave has come on leaps and bounds since being with us considering he was pretty nervous initially and now he’ll approach you with a waggy tail.
Dave has had cherry eye surgery but unfortunately it returned so he had to have the surgery again.
He’s a lovely sweet boy and shares his kennel lovely with his friend, he also shares toys and food with his kennel buddies. He walks lovely on a harness now (sometimes big Lorry’s and motorbikes scare him) and enjoys going for walks. Dave would benefit from a quiet home, calmer environment would benefit him most.
He really is the perfect example of no matter where you come from you can always learn to move on and trust again. Once a shut down boy to a bubbly, playful, gentle boy.

It was my first time meeting Dave today and he greeted me when I arrived at his kennel with a wagging tail and a big smiley face. I could tell he was ready to go out for a walk and he was more than happy to let me, a new stranger, take him on his next adventure. On the road, he was a bit nervous of the cars but after a quick shake off he was good to go. In the yard he wasn’t too bothered about any toys but he was interested in some treats and was super gentle taking them. He didn’t engage too much with me in the yard as it was our first time meeting, and instead chose to have a good sniff and wonder around. Dave is just a real cool dude, whether it’s plodding or playing, his time is utterly wasted her in kennels and I can’t wait to see him flourish in a home. Dave's cherry eye has returned after his previous repair, our vet team are now discussing refering dave to a specialist to help get to the bottom of it.
