Are you right for Forest?
Fabulous Forest is looking for an adult only home with no visiting children. He needs a quiet home with little to no visitors and have plans in place if visitors do come round. Forest loves spending time outside so a private secure garden is ideal for him. Forest has unfortunately spent a long time in kennels so is looking for a family who has understanding and experience with rescue dogs, mouthy behaviours and breed knowledge. Our training team work closely with forest to keep up all of his good work, new adopters would have to be on board with his training and management in place. He is fully muzzle trained and will need to be muzzled out in public places as he has shown aggression towards strangers due to his fear of new people - however he copes very well with seeing strangers at a distance and has a introduction plan for meeting new people. Forest is on medical management for hip dysplasia that will have additional costs to potential adopters to consider. Forest is doing amazingly well with his training, he enjoys both physical and mental stimulation he is a clever cookie and enjoys learns new things. He walks very nicely on lead but can occasional be strong so will need new adopters to be able to handle his strength. He can live with another dog of similar pending as successful introduction at our center but no cats or small furries.
Is Forest right for you?
5 year old Forest is a Malamute Crossbreed who came into the Centre through no fault of his own. Forest is full of character and is guaranteed to make you laugh, he is a proper goof ball and loves playing and running around with fluffy toys. All of his handlers love him and he has had overnight stays with one of our canine carers and settles well at night and shows signs of being housetrained. He loved a cuddle and a snooze on the sofa; he was the perfect house guest. Forest loves his food but can be bit snatchy around treats. Forest does not like being left alone while settling in, time alone will need to be build up slowly over time once he is settled in his new home. He is not 100% housetrained so will need refresher training in his new home however he does travels well in the car and will jump in on his own. His favourite things to do are exploring on walks, playing with his favorite people and other dogs: paddling in water and relaxing with a chew. He will make a very rewarding addition to a the right new family.

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 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.
