Are you right for Chico?

Cheeky lad Chico is an affectionate soul who loves meeting new people and being involved! Chico is looking to have direct access from his new home into a secure garden with a minimum 6ft fence as he should be kept on a lead, and muzzled, whilst he is out and about. This lovely lurcher is able to share his home with another dog as he is doing great with his socialisation at the centre. Any children in the home should be aged 16 years or over. Having multiple people in the home would suit him best as Chico does suffer from separation anxiety so is looking to have constant companionship for the foreseeable. He may be able to be left alone in the future but is too anxious to cope with this at the moment.

Is Chico right for you?

Chico is 10 years young and loves a comfy bed, soft toys, and he is a big fan of eating his five a day! He also loves to zoom around at the speed of light in secure fields! His new home would ideally have nice quiet areas to head for walkies. As an older gentleman, Chico does have a medical condition that our veterinary team will happily discuss in more detail with his forever family. Animal Welfare licence number is AWE02, as licenced by Glasgow City Council.
