Are you right for Harry?

Harry is a sweet 4-year-old Labrador cross. He is looking for new owners who will do plenty of training with him and take him out for lots of fun quiet adventures. Once Harry knows you he can be playful and affectionate, it doesn’t normally take too long for him to warm up to you. Harry loves spending time with his favourite people, playing with toys, training and having a zoom around. At the end of a long day, he goes and rests in his faithful armchair for a much-needed snooze. Harry will be a really rewarding companion for any family that can dedicate the time to him – the Shrewsbury team will be there to support you every step of the way.

Is Harry right for you?

Harry is an energetic 4-year-old Labrador cross that is looking for a quiet, yet active adult only home. Harry would love to live in an experienced home where he can continue his training. He enjoys riding in the car to go for countryside adventures in quiet areas away from off-lead dogs and built-up areas. Harry does enjoy spending time with known doggy friends, he can be quite boisterous in play and, pending successful mixes at the centre, could live with another calm dog that is understanding of his play style. In addition, Harry can be unsure meeting new people and he would like to work on this in his new home, at his pace while out on walks. As such, Harry will need to wear a muzzle and be kept on lead in public spaces. This bouncy lad can sometimes be strong on lead, so will need owners that are dedicated to his training and socialisation needs. Above all, Harry would love a secure garden (6ft fencing) for off-lead play and zoomies! He is mastering the game of tug and would love a new tugging partner.
