Are you right for Tailor?
Super busy and affectionate boy Tailor is a 1 year old Labrador/German Shepherd cross with a lot of love to give. This young lad is keen to explore the world around him, he loves to sniff and play; squeaky toys and balls are his favourite, he will bound around after them when thrown. He can be worried meeting strangers, so will take time to warm up to new people, but once he knows you he loves a snuggle on the sofa and will wander off when he has had enough. He is a foodie boy, he will take any treat on offer, but he especially likes soft treats and paste, he takes treats gently from the hand. This pawsome lad is on the look out for his new home.
Is Tailor right for you?
Tailor is looking for a calm and predictable home with minimal visitors, especially to begin with, he would like active adopters who can take him on sniffy adventures and provide him with fun and mentally stimulating enrichment to keep his brain busy. He would like an adult only home with adopters who are confident with a large, playful dog and understand when he is feeling uncomfortable and can give him space to rest when needed. Tailor can be a little frustrated around other dogs, so is looking to be the only pet in the home with no visiting pets, so he can enjoy all of his adopter’s attention to himself, he would be happy with calm and friendly walking buddies to help him build up his socialising skills. Tailor is a clever boy and has lots of training under his belt, he knows his name and does a lovely “sit”, “paw”, “touch” and “down” to name a few, he is eager to engage in training as long as there are no distractions. He will be going home on a lead in public disclaimer so access to a private, secure garden is a necessity so he can have time pottering and exploring at his leisure off lead. Tailor could settle in the home, so could be left for up to 4 hours, he is only young still so this would need to be built up slowly once he has had time to settle in. Tailor will need to meet his adopters multiple times with the potential for home visits prior to going home so please bear this in mind when applying. Please note that should you be shortlisted, our rehoming process usually takes up to 7 days, and potential adopters would be required to come up to the centre to meet him within 48hrs of being shortlisted.

Some of the dogs in our care will need to meet potential owners several times to get to know one another. This lets us see you’re compatible and gives you the chance to build a bond before making a commitment to give them a new home. By taking some time at the beginning to make sure everyone’s comfortable, an adoption is more likely to be successful.
We may also arrange a home visit with you, to see how your house will be set up and check that the garden (if you have one) is secure. This may not be necessary, though, especially if you’ve adopted from us before. Where you already have dogs, we may accept a reference from your vet as an alternative.

If we haven’t found the right match, we’ll continue the search together
If we haven’t found the right dog for you within three months, we’ll let you know your application is closed. We’ll invite you to apply again so we have up-to-date information about you, and we’ll keep looking.
